\"2013-10-11<\/a><\/strong>Have I been alive today \/ in the last few days?<\/h3>\n

Yes!<\/p>\n

I particularly enjoyed the mild autumn air and the trees with their colourful leaves. Simply wonderful.<\/p>\n

What new things have I discovered about life?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m still reeling from the shock: in less than three weeks, muscle tissue can turn into fat tissue. I did, after all, come down with lumbago three weeks ago, which is why I haven\u2019t been as mobile as usual over the last few weeks. It particularly affected my lower back and buttocks. As it wasn\u2019t getting any better and I\u2019ve been waking up every night in pain (how on earth do parents with young children cope?), the doctor arranged an MRI scan as a precaution. All clear. No damaged discs. Thank goodness! But the MRI scan nevertheless revealed something terrible. In less than three weeks, my body has classified a whole lot of tense muscle tissue as \u201einactive\u201c \u2013 and therefore worthless \u2013 broken down those muscles (which appear dark on the MRI) and replaced them with (bright) fat cells, which require less energy. In just three weeks! I find that absolutely staggering!<\/p>\n

What new things have I discovered about myself<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
I can share in other people\u2019s happiness \u2013 especially when I\u2019ve played a part in it in some way. \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Yesterday I received an email from a woman I\u2019d first got to know through seminars and coaching and whom I\u2019d now describe as a friend. She wrote to me to say that she\u2019d made a friend and got engaged. That sort of thing does happen from time to time. This morning I remembered a coaching session from a few years ago. It was about her future. She\u2019d had to give up her absolute dream job because the employer couldn\u2019t extend the \u2013 fixed-term \u2013 contract any further.<\/div>\n
We started by talking about her dreams, her desire to make a difference to young people, and then later about what opportunities were available right now. Finally, she came clean: \u201eI\u2019ve already got a job. As a manager in a supported housing scheme for older people. I think it\u2019s the right thing to do; I can gain management experience there, and the people there really want me.\u201c She went on to list all the advantages of the new job for me. I grew increasingly uneasy. It seemed as though she was trying to convince both herself and me that this was the right thing to do.<\/div>\n
At some point, I plucked up the courage and gave her some frank feedback: \u201eListen, your eyes are saying something completely different to what you\u2019re saying. You say that this is the right thing to do, but I don\u2019t see any enthusiasm.\u201c<\/div>\n
My feedback led her to admit that she hadn\u2019t actually wanted that at all; she\u2019d just talked herself into it. She turned down the job and took the plunge into self-employment \u2013 offering the services for young people that had always been her dream. It wasn\u2019t easy, but she managed it. Eventually, she moved to a place where she found the right premises for her business\u2026 and \u2013 a coaching happy ending to the power of three \u2013 she even found the man of her dreams.<\/div>\n
That\u2019s a wonderful coaching story, of course. It\u2019s not always quite that dramatic, but I often find that I can help people discover what they actually want \u2013 not what they think they ought to want. And when they dare to follow their dreams, I\u2019m absolutely beaming with joy too.<\/div>\n
