Should I or Shouldn't I ?

There have been times in life in which many of us ponder things..."should I or shouldn't I?" This is not an unusual question. I was once at that point..."should I or shouldn't I?" What always entrapped my thoughts were fear, doubt, insecurity and yes, even rejection. I too asked myself that question, a myriad of times. Whether it was ending a relationship, returning to school in my thirties or relocating to a new state in my mid-fifties. "should I or shouldn't I?" Yes, what a hefty question, especially when life was leading toward a capricious path!

We've all have had to make life-altering decisions--marriage, divorce, death of a loved one, relocation, career transition, just to name a few. It is no doubt that during these episodes of life, we often ponder "should I or shouldn't I ?" It is during these burgeoning scenarios that fear strangles our motivation and doubt sets in with authority. Too often, doubt becomes our identity and hope becomes deceased.

Yet, hope can easily be resurrected! Sometimes all we need is someone to listen too us but ofttimes we need more than that. I've always needed the "more than that," for my hope to be resurrected. Fortunately, even to this day, I still have access to the "more than that" For many a nights, my "more than that" was a mentor, Coach, Pastor, husband, wise friend, mother. These individuals alway supported me in answering the question "Should I or Shouldn't I?"

Are you at a point in your life, a point of pondering? Do you find yourself desiring to do something new, thirsting for something more? Maybe you have a new hope; are you craving a new beginning, seeking after fresh dreams, even up until now, you find yourself asking "should I or shouldn't I?," If so, then it's time that you SHOULD--do something--even if the something is something that you've never experienced before!

Life can be scary at times. Moments of woe can appear to be an eternity. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. There is hope even in hopelessness. It's time for a change. It's time to create the life you always wanted to live. This is where life coaching can help. This is when your new life can BEGIN...
