In my work as a coach, I often talk to women who feel that somewhere along the way, they gave up on their dream. Life got in the way and they just had to do what was necessary to support their family and survive. Now, they are feeling that they don’t even know what their purpose is. Being true to themselves is not even possible because they don’t know who they are. Imagine yourself at 90-something and you're looking back at your life. Would you be able to say, without a doubt, that you fulfilled your purpose?

Author Jack Canfield said, “Nothing happens until you take action.” And yet, so many people get stuck in analyzing, planning, organizing, thinking, talking, and dreaming, when what they so desperately need to do is take the first step of action. There is a time to think, dream, plan, analyze, and organize and it is important to first know who you are and what you want. But THEN, it is time to ACT on it.

Sometimes you DO know what you want to do, but you just don’t know how to get started. And when you look at all the things that need to happen for your idea to become a reality, it feels exhausting and you end up not doing anything. You turn on the TV or go do the laundry - anything except taking action on your ideas. The problem is that if you never take action, you’ll never see your dreams come into reality!
