Stop running from the wolves!

99-SECOND READ

'Sometimes in your life you will go on a journey. It will be the longest journey you've ever taken. It is the journey to find yourself.'

Katherine Sharp

A lone figure races through the wilderness, their heart pounding in their chest. Running with all their might, their breath deep, fast and gasping. Adrenaline courses through their body, giving them the energy to push through the pain. The wind stings their face, but they press on, running faster, harder. 

Imagine this person is you... how do you feel? 

Are you smiling, are you feeling excited, elated, full of joy and hope? Or is your face tense, are you scared, isolated, desperate trying to survive? 

Well, of course, it depends on why are you running... 

Are you running away from a pack of vicious wolves? Can you hear them closing in, their paws crunching behind you, snapping at your heels? 

Or,

Are you running towards your loved ones? Can you hear them cheering you on, shouting your name, smiles beaming, arms outstretched - ready to welcome you with hugs, love and laughter? 

You see, life is a journey, and we're all running through it; trying to reach our goals and milestones. Some of us are running hard! But our motivation to run determines how we experience it.

You can run from wolves - fears: not being good enough, not having enough, not being loved, admired or respected if you don't achieve your goals. Not having money, not being able to survive or live up to the expectations of yourself or others. 

Or,

You can run towards love: finding your purpose, making a difference in the world, contributing, creating beauty, inspiring others, being your best self, growing, serving, giving, and using your gifts! 

I coach successful people who have achieved amazing things in their life. But many of them were running from the wolves - their fear of not being enough. This stopped them from being truly happy. 

I help them realise they are enough, so their wolves disappear and instead of running away from them, they are able to run towards love!

Then they are able to be happy. 

If you think you might be running from wolves, I'm here for you.
