I've got your back!


“What wonderful words to hear from someone”   Especially when you know that person actually does!  

Cool adventures and life changing moments typically occur when you take risks.  Making the decision to change a comfortable course in life requires guts.  After guts, a whole of determination, persistence and commitment to yield results! 

As I have learned there are many “border guards” in your life that claim to have your best interest in mind when they discourage you from leaping forward and trying new things . 

It is my belief that everyone has an internal compass that guides them through life.  The interesting thing about this compass is that it only “shows” the way, yet doesn’t require you follow its desired course. 

Also, not everyone knows how to read a compass.   You don’t learn how to use it in school; if anything school sometimes prevents its usage.   

Reading your compass requires meditation and quieting the outside noise in your life.  As your skills increase the path becomes clearer and you are able to defend your new course in life.   

I mentioned earlier that often time’s friends and family persuade you to alter your true course as they are not able to read your compass.

And then a supporter jumps on your path and lets you know that your choice is “true north” and clearly demonstrates “I’ve got your back.” 

Here is another benefit to this lesson!

 Do you know of someone close to you that appears to be following their compass and perhaps not the path that others would support? 

Consider offering your support and expressing enthusiasm about their new course. 

Trust me, it gets lonely pursuing dreams and the thought of someone expressing “I’ve got your back” is like honeydew vine water!

The point is…both of you will enjoy the magic that the new course offers!  There is truly a return on investment when you help and support others. 

Who do you know that has recently found their compass? 

Go get their back and enjoy the ride alongside!
