Have you ever just known, you would be a bag lady? Or had a deep fear that it could happen to you? Have you ever had a friend who mentioned that fear? Who is a bag lady anyway? She is at the end, she is powerless, she has struggled, Fear has gone and she has given up, it is dark, she has no self worth, she has nothing but her cart to hold on to, she doesn’t feel pretty, she knows her life is over, she is alone and she is hopeless. How did she get here? Her way of thinking got her here. The voices and perception of her past got her here. What she believes and feels about herself and who she thinks she is, brought her to this place. She may have given too much and didn’t leave anything for herself. She lives in fear. She didn’t know she has choices. She was not aware. She doesn’t know about the power of her own mind. So how can you transition from bag lady mentality to coachable? And where would you start? Decide to leave that thought of being a bag lady behind and never look back. Know that what you think about is what you create in your life. You must be willing to take a risk and move forward. Start Dreaming! Be open to new possibilities. Look outside of your box. If what you are doing is not working, do something different. Try something new things. Failure only happens when you don’t’ try. Be vulnerable to look within to see who you are being. Who am I? Who can I be? Leave the past behind, let go of it.
