First Things First

Life can get overwhelming. If we're not taking one thing at a time we could easily get discouraged. Of course, the tough part can become...which thing first?

As a life coach, I get this question a lot and always respond with, "For your information, let me ask you a question." (Louis B. Mayer).
Yes. A question for a question.

It might go something like this.

(client) "I'm not sure what to focus on first; my lyrics or my music."
(coach) "If you knew...what would you say?"
(client) "I don't know! That's why I'm here!"
(coach) "What's your best guess? You can be wrong...but if you did know, what would you say?"

I have yet, in all my years of coaching, to stump a client. Whatever they say, we go with it and keep peeling away layers until they know what they know.

Point being...we do know what's best for us. We are the experts on our life. We may need some support in defining choices, but once we're clear on the options we know the direction that's right for us. Intuitively, almost magically, it's there for our discovery. The next step is to honor it; acknowledge, validate and act on it. That may be another question.
