Sometimes I think about where I’d be now if I had learned mindset work decades ago.
But then I catch myself.
First, the past is done and gone. All my thinking, ruminating and wishing won’t change it.
Second, I’m convinced I had to go through everything I did to become the coach I am today.
I’m passionate about helping people work through their insecurities and limiting beliefs so they can start living their lives and achieving their goals, sooner rather than later.
Third, if my trajectory had been different, it’s likely I wouldn’t have the people in my life I do now.
My husband. My girls. My friends. Their friends. My family. My 98 year old neighbor. My mentor. Fascinating people all over the world.
I wouldn’t have the privilege of working with the amazing people I do today — people who’ve committed to showing up for themselves, day in and day out, finally giving themselves the chance to create the lives they’ve always wanted.
So many people have regret for what they feel was “wasted time”. They feel like they’re playing catch up.
That was me for a long, long time.
But now I’m grateful for my journey up to this point because it shaped me into who I am today.
I own and accept the mistakes I’ve made.
I pull lessons I can use for my future growth, including the importance of self-compassion.
And I give myself the grace to move forward.
Now I get to decide how I want to show up for the rest of my life.
For myself, my girls, my family, my friends, my clients.
And for the people I don’t even know yet who are suffering the way I used to.
We all get to choose our next steps.
We’re the only ones holding ourselves back.
I had to realize I was worth doing the work to move forward.
I was.
I am.
And so are you.
Take care,
Kari
