Fill in the blank_____________
But year after year we manage to fall into the same old routine and never really change.
One thing I know for certain is when you are ready to make a change in your life you MUST have accountability.
I remember four years ago {before becoming a Christian Life Coach} I set out for the biggest goal of my life … to run a half marathon 13.1 miles.
Just fresh out of chemotherapy, a coma, life support and radiation this was a pretty crazy and audacious goal.
I wasn’t sure if I really could go through with it, if I really could run 13.1 miles. I was afraid to set such a goal and believe I could do it.
Have you ever been afraid to set a big goal?
As the training began I had two necessary components to insure my success, a coach and accountability.
My coach came along side me and believed in me more than I believed in myself, especially on those days when I was ready to throw in the towel. My coach challenged me to dig deep within myself and connect to my inner strength. My coach encouraged me every time I hit the pavement to give it all I had. But the most important gift my coach gave me was accountability.
Accountability is the secret sauce to success.
Because of my coach and being accountable to someone other than myself I crossed the 13.1-mile finish line on September 5, 2010. A huge victory!
Because of my personal experience in training for my half marathon I discovered the deepest desire of my heart … coaching. Today it is a privilege to serve women around the world as I coach them in achieving their goals. I love my work!
Whether you already have a goal in mind or you’re afraid to even set a goal I want to stretch you today. Dig deep.
What is that one goal you wish more than anything to achieve next year?
