Can one conversation really change your life? Of course it can! I bet every person you meet can tell you a story about it...it's called chance. But if you are aware of what's going on in the world around you and you don't leave your life to chance...chances are you'll find yourself much more successful. Much more at ease in a world filled with dis-ease.
Someone once told me that I should "grow up" that what I wanted to do was merely a "hobby and a waste of time". That I should focus on reality and not fantasy. Well, sorry to say that I am a dreamer...and a pretty darn big one at that...but it keeps me moving and creating, coming up with ideas, continuing to learn...wanting to share and, yes, build a great big "kingdom"!
Imagine if Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs, or Walt Disney, or the Wright Brothers...left their fantastical hobbies alone until they had made it in the "real world"... Well, the real world would sure be a different place wouldn't it?
So what's that got to do with chance conversations...
I would never have spoken to the gal that had Rheumatoid Arthritis and told her to stop eating tomatoes...and set her on a course where a year later she's off all medications and has never felt better or been healthier.
I'm pretty sure she's happy I'm not a realist!
Whatever world you live in, whether it's reality based or dream based...we can all see that the human race is in a lot of pain...we are unhealthy, malnourished. And not just nutritionally. Many of us are what I fondly call a Hot Mess...
When you turn on the tv, look at how many commercials are for pharmaceuticals, how many reality shows are popular because of negative drama? And "the news" is mostly negative...all shared with dramatical musical scores!
Ten years ago I graduated from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and I'm glad to say that my dreaming has helped me to find the best way that I can be a positive part of humanity...and it all started with a chance conversation!
That conversation put me on the path to being able to combine all of my and your experiences and to develop the programs and techniques I share today...I am a part of a recognized movement...a community of dreamers...and we are sharing our fantasy of living in a world that enriches our lives...and creates even more dreams.
I went out and proved to myself that the noise...the static I was receiving was just that...noise from the very person who needed the fantasy most...I proved it through finding the need...Major corporations are recognizing the need for and hiring Leadership Management, bringing Coaching and Wellness into the work place. Bills including Health Coaching language have been passed this winter in Congress....Jane and John Doe...every individual needs something...
So take a chance on a conversation...drown out the noise of the naysayers, believe in your dreams...change your life, change the world.
