Changing your perspective

I got this story in an email and it got me thinking, how often in life we look at obstacles and challenges as a barrier to what we want in life. When you read this story is shows us that maybe the barriers are actually helping us to get to where we are going. Well have a read and let me know what barrier you have in your way at the moment and if you change your perspective and saw it as a step towards where you wanted to go-would that be more helpful? 

A Donkey in the Well

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.

Radio show

I was going to be interviewed in April on the radio, so beforehand I started to visualise what I wanted to get out of it. I visualised the end result that I wanted - 'a regular coaching slot, say once a month'. I did the show and afterwards I was racking my brains looking for a clever angle to get back in touch with the radio station. Whilst coming up with my cunning plan, an idea that they wouldn't be able to resist, the phone rang and it was the producer of the show. She asked me if I wanted to come in once a month for a regular coaching slot. I could have fallen off my chair. Very cool, eh!  I love playing with visualisation if for no other reason as it makes me clear what I want. If I get the result I wanted then that is an added bonus. On the show last month we did the Wheel of Life and I thought it might be fun to let you have a go at doing your wheel of life along with the show. It is such a clever exercise to show where you happy in your life and easily highlights any areas that need attention. Have fun and let me know how you get on...........
