Changing Direction

When I say blind spot, I'm not referring to that area that is out of your peripheral vision while driving. I'm talking about your psychological blind spot. I learned about this a few years ago and a blind spot is essentially the inability to see characteristics in ourselves that are obvious to those around us. An example I've heard is, just like a fish can't see the water it's swimming in, you can't always clearly see or evaluate a situation that you may be in. It takes someone with a different perspective to point it out. Someone on the outside can see pitfalls and even opportunities that you can't see. They can see them, ironically, because they aren't immersed in them every day. So, who can help you out with this? Well, different perspectives can come from a number of sources.

I had another good coaching session via Ken Davis Coaching last night.

This will cause less stress and more peace. I love this famous quote by Wayne Dyer. He said, "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change". So...

Starting out on a new journey has always been exciting to me. As a lover of research and travel, it just comes natural to me to explore new places and ideas. The type of journey that I happen to be on right now is a journey of rediscovery. I have spent many years helping businesses promote themselves through multimedia advertising and it has been a wonderful experience. But now I'm wanting more. Needing more. I need to dig down further now and work below the surface a bit and discover my true calling. One of my sources right now assisting me on this journey is through Ken Davis Coaching . I'm in the initial stages and working on a "Values Assessment Exercise". This exercise will help me recognize and understand what value system I have chosen to live by.
