JOT Day 81 - This Kind of Adventure

More sidewalk showing every day. Woo hoo!

Started in with the work in my coaching. Answering probing questions begins the process before the first substantive conversation takes place.

I wish everyone this kind of adventure.

JOT Day 80 - Breadcrumbs from a buddy I committed to investing in myself and working with a coach today, and I can't wait to dig in and get to The Work. I've been in this kind of relationship before, and the results are amazing. Whatever the focus of the coaching, if you are coachable, your life will change in ways you couldn't imagine, because you don't have your own entrenched thoughts as your only source of information. You get someone else's experience and wisdom who has been there, done that, and knows that it isn't all that hard, it just takes practice and showing up. It's also nice to have a map from someone who left breadcrumbs for the rest of us. Momentum is building as I approach the one-third mark of this project. And I have a feeling the pace picks up exponentially from here.

JOT Day 82 - I like answering questionnaires that have questions worth answering I like answering questionnaires that have questions worth answering. "What would you bring with you to a deserted island?" is not a question worth answering. You don't get to choose what you'd take if you end up on one, so why the question? Here's one worth asking: "What accomplishments must, in your opinion, occur during your lifetime so that you will consider your life to have been satisfying and well lived--a life of few or no regrets?" And one worth answering. You can't do it with favorite television shows or the viral video of the week. You have to reflect and ponder and decide and discover and realize to answer that question. And of course all kinds of things will come up for processing, like why am I not doing those things that will sum up to my satisfying life? I know why. I know why, and I know how to stop not doing those things. And I'm learning how to tell you what I know, so you can benefit from that knowledge too. I promise I will never ask about the desert island. But I will ask about the well-lived thing. Because everyone deserves that kind of life. Everyone. Especially you.
