When children are little what is one of the first question they are asked?……..”What do you want to be when you grow up?” And I have to confess that I as a coach asked my clients the same question because it tells us an inner passion that may have not been fulfilled and can be explored.
But what I am more interested in is the question, “How do you want to be when you grow up?” If you were to ask a child or for that fact even an adult “How do you what to be when you grow up?” I doubt they would say overstressed, over worked, cranky, uncommunicative, depressed… you get the idea. They would say Joyful, happy, playful, carefree and Loving. Now doesn’t that sound just beautiful! I feel even light simply typing those words….. What would happen if we followed “How do you want to be when you grow up?” verses “What do you want to be when you grow up?” How do you think it wold affect your quality of life? Your interaction with people let alone your self? How magnificent would it be to follow are how which would envelope are what so that everything that we did was led by Joyousness, Playfulness and Love….
My final question to you is…. How do You want to be when you grow up?
Love and Light
I’d like to live in the present, authentic and honest…always bringing the best of me to every situation. I’d use humor to diffuse difficult situations, I would connect, with warmth and anabolic energy. I would be confident in Who I am, and not afraid of what people think of me. I want to be someone who inspires others to be who they are. Great question. Thanks, Sarah
How beautiful Alan…. I love that you say, you would be confident in who you are and that you want to be someone Who inspires others to be Who they are. The “who” has so much more possibility of supporting everything about us. Thank You so much for sharing! Love and Light Sarah
