No, no, I’m not referring to you.

I'm sitting on the subway across from a beautiful woman... I want to strike up a conversation, but my fears get the best of me. Then, this beautiful woman starts up a conversation with another person on the subway who is also a stranger to her (I eavesdropped on their conversation).

Six days a week, I wake up early, pull on my jeans and head to the recreation center where I commit my body to a two hour workout.

Last week, as I was standing in the checkout line of my local grocery store, I found myself staring at the dozen or so magazines on display.

One day I was walking along and found myself looking into a deep hole at the root of a large tree.

So being me I crawled into the tunnel and followed the route to my inner consciousness until I found the end.

Life’s path is never straight and narrow or perfectly flat and smooth. As children we view life as simple as a single step in front of us one small foot at a time. When we fall we simply get back up and steady our wobbly legs then push on to the desired item in our eyesight. We never think about the bumps in our path because our needs are so much more important. As small people with big dreams getting to our destination is so much more than the journey.

I'm a life coach and help people live the life of their dreams so I always get asked "Do you think I should quit my job?". I've even had someone say "See that woman over there?

Dearest Darling Friends, Last two weeks I was waking up at 4.15 am to meditate for at least an hour and a half. Then, I would leave home at 6.20 am for football practice since I was taking part in a football tou ament. I would come home exhausted around 8.45 am. Have a quick bath, grab a quick bite and leave for office at 9.30 am. This, to me, was a series of tough choices.
