When You Do Good Things Consistently, The Results Will Delight You

Lately there have been a confluence of delights showing up in my life, all seemingly connected in what seems an impossible way.

There’s the casual mention of my desire to become bilingual in French, and then a friend mentioning friends participating in a Learn French In Provence retreat and before I know it I’m checking out the website and thinking, ‘maybe’.

I recognize I’m already financially committed to a garden project, and another one I’ll talk about later, so I wonder if this is the right time financially.

A day later, an executive visiting our Toronto office tells a story in which the lesson is ‘what is the money for if not for this’, while a book I’m reading tells me, ‘don’t think dude, just jump’, and before I know it, I’ve registered.

And here’s the miracle: my finance guy emails me asking if I need any money. Turns out I need to move money out of my TFSA (tax free savings account) so I can withdraw money with no impact to taxes or my retirement savings.

It seems that all those times when I was younger when I forewent spending in favour of saving, made all this possible.

Try this ONE thing

I don’t remember who said it but years ago I remember reading, ‘when you do good things, good things happen’. Little did I know that meant I could Learn French In Provence.

Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.

The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
