If not now, when?

Now is the time to reconnect with what matters most to you.

“If not now, when?”

This question is not only the name of my coaching business. It’s the question that literally got me off my butt, helped me face my fears of shifting from being a therapist to starting my journey into life coaching.

I was agonizing over when or if ever, I’d take the step of leaving the counseling agency where I saw clients and head out into the exciting and terrifying new world of becoming a life coach. My mind was full of all the “have tos, shoulds, and can’ts” that could keep me right where I was. My body was exhausted. It was telling me I needed support.

I hired a life coach who helped me gain even greater clarity about my dream and the courage to take action to make it come true. I stopped waiting for the perfect time, for some sort of external sign that I was doing the right thing. I heard my wisest inner voice say, “the time is now.”

Initially, not everyone understood or even approved of my evolution to being my true self. But what I found is that when I am making decisions, designing plans, and taking actions to live in alignment with my heart and soul, I am living in integrity.

And living in integrity feels so good. Life flows with compassion, freedom, courage and confidence.

There is no need to wait until you retire, or your kids are out of the house, or you have a different job, or things settle down. Now is the time to live from your true, core self. Now is the time to know deeply that you matter…your life matters.

Because, if not now, when?
