How to Get Closer to Achieving Your Goals

It was the summer of 2005 when I was experiencing some doubts about being a published author. In my vulnerable state I reached out to my coach. I asked her if I had what it takes to be a writer and to my surprise she said she would get back to me in a week or so.  Disappointed and disheartened, I shared the response with my husband.  He immediately responded, "Has your coach published a book?" I said, "No." He advised, "Well then, get back to writing, you have a lot to accomplish!"

As I reflect back, my coach was mirroring my own doubts and fears, whereas my husband was mirroring my deep conviction of sharing my writing with the world.
 
Gaining the courage to take a bold action becomes easier by surrounding yourself with those who believe in you beyond a shadow of a doubt. And becoming aware of your own vulnerabilities as well as your strengths.
