Future Results...

Which direction are you headed in?

Consider that there are just 12 weeks left in 2022.

And whether or not you know where you're headed, how do you plan to get clarity about what the next and best right action to take?

In the financial services industry this warning appears on most investment material:

“Past performance is not indicative of future results...”

In my work, it's less of a warning than a message of comfort!

It's a message my clients are encouraged to reframe knowing that our past experiences - good and bad - hold the keys to an exuberant and purposeful future.

So where and how to begin?

First - as always - #DontGoItAlone

Then set aside the time to take a disciplined and structured approach to mining the past for the wisdom and experiences that may be long forgotten or that we didn't imagine would be relevant in the context of this life stage (whatever stage that is for you).

And how does one do that?

You can start with the memoir tool introduced in Julia Cameron's 2016 addition to her Artist's Way series - It's Never Too Late to Begin Again.

It serves as an invitation -

• to discover - and rediscover - our passions?
• to know what has worked for us in the past - and what didn't?
• to identify and disengage with the crazymakers, poisonous playmates, and wet blankets in our lives
• to identify and invite our advocates, allies, and champions to take a more active role in our daily life.

Formally or informally - you are welcome to follow along with our weekly exercises - by posting a photo, writing a story, or sketching a memory that takes you back to something you didn't know or had forgotten about the period of your life (1/12) we'll revisit weekly.

Why?

Insights gleaned from the exercises trigger your unconscious to get you moving in the direction of your dreams!

Ready or not our next act awaits - and only we can compose the story of a rich and purposeful life by embracing the whole of it.
