Removing the Net or WWJD

So here we are almost two weeks into the new year.

By now resolutions that were made have been broken by many.
It is so important to STAY FOCUSED.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE GOAL.

It is crazy, I have two friends a married couple from back home, that for lack of a better word I have been coaching. They are life long friends who have been married for many years and throughout their marriage decided not to have children.

They have a nice life. They are free agents and love to travel.

They moved back to the hometown after years of being away. Family illness brought them home.
First it was my friend's mom and than step-dad who both eventually passed away. After that a cancer diagnosis for her sister who thankfully is ok now.

Well fast forward ten plus years and they wound up staying and are now feeling stuck.

THEY WANT OUT.

Over the past couple of years since I have been meeting with them they have wanted to start fresh somewhere.
MAKE A CHANGE.......ANYWHERE. They just are not sure where.

They both think more like me, and would like to live the way I do, but they are surrounded by people living that 9-5 life. You know LIVE WITHIN THE LINES.

So they have become fearful because they are surrounded by those who play SAFE and those who do not play at all.

I told these friends they have NOTHING TO LOSE and EVERYTHING TO GAIN.


They are letting fear creep in and stop them. I told them that fear would keep them STUCK.

Fear is crippling.

FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL.

There is absolutely no reason these two should not be on an amazing adventure.
They are finacially sound seeing they saved well. They also have a house they can sell.

It is just the two of them.....They need to only be responsible to one another.

During our first meeting, my friend said she was going to make a braclet that said WWJD

I said what does that mean. "What Would Jesus Do" She said, "NO, What Would Joey Do" I laughed.

For the past two years I have been a cheerleader for them.

I can't wait until they finally say Yes to their life by removing the safety net and beginning the JOURNEY OF THEIR NEW LIFE.

I keep telling them like Nike said..........JUST DO IT.

YOUR LIFE IS WAITING FOR YOU.

Go team Shelly and Billy.

GO FOR THE GOLD.

Your ship is ready to take you on your adventure.
