Here is the predicament.

You are alive.

You have a precious human existence, right now. And you will die.

Now what?

There are two main options. Either you continue with what you are doing now; leaning in further here and there in the hopes of things getting better. A bit more elbow room in the way you have set up your life. Re-arranging the furniture.

Or you take your life on. As a project. As the thing to do. As your purpose.

Why?

Once you get that this, all of it, is just a game – you have a choice. You can play a game by sitting on the sidelines and choosing that it does not matter. That is one way to play a game.

Or you can lean in fully and make it the most important thing in the world – make it meaningful and play all out!

Which looks like more fun?

So – it is up to you. You can choose your reasons to not engage. Be it time, money, not just yet, conditions need to be right before…

OR

You can, in this moment decide that you want the life you have always dreamed is possible, but you have never fully dared to play for.

From there – it is all just resistance…

Three forward-looking options from here; book a discovery conversation with me. Or you could check out Don Goodeve Coaching’s website. And you could visit Man on Purpose and sign up for a transformational 21-day Journey into the core of your authentic Masculinity (for those who so identify).

There is another option. It just does not change anything. Do your future self a favour and pick something new. You never know where it might lead. Possibly to the life you have always imagined you could have. There is only one way to find out…
