58. {11/18/09} Oy. I’m feeling like a failure today. I connected with Soul for comfort and guidance and she told me that this is coming up because I’m close to a breakthrough. I don’t have to push through. I get to walk through step by step and she is always with me to love me through it. I’m so grateful for Soul!
So many of my friends & family members tell me how cool they think the 100 Things I Fear challenge is {of course it is!} They love to read about my fears {that’s kind of sadistic if you ask me, but that’s okay!} and they admire the courage {my sister even called me brave!}
At the same time, so many of them are like, “I don’t have a 100 fears,” {and you can read my response to that here} or “It’s too big of a commitment. “
It’s true: it is a big commitment. In fact, I am a week behind in updating my list. Oy! But, that’s beside the point. The point is…I thought it would be fun to provide an opportunity for people to play & contribute without committing to 100 days. So here’s your chance. Blog or comment your answer to this question:
What do you do to get yourself moving again when you feel like giving up?
We all lose steam every once in awhile – it happened to me this week! In fact, there is almost always a break-down right before a big break-through. So wouldn’t it be great to have a place to go to be reminded to keep going and take that leap of faith even when you feel like giving up? Please post your answer {or the link to your answer if you posted it on your own blog} so that we can all learn from your wisdom!
I have enjoyed an amazing week with lots of success in my Life Coaching Practice. Today I find myself a bit low on energy and have dedicated my day to nurturing myself. One thing I decided to do was to surf the net for inspirational quotes. And then I remembered that there is a coach I know who just launched a "Quote of the Week" email program. So I swung by her website and subscribed to her generous service. Here’s the link just in case you would like to receive some inspiration in your inbox too:
So, I just received my first quote as a new subscriber and it is GOOD! She also added a couple of empowering questions with it, which are really cool. About 8 months ago this same coach sent me this quote:
“Most of failures are people who do not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” ~ author unknown
What do you do when you feel like giving up? And who can you turn to for support and encouragement?
