There is very definitely a new wave of people out there. There is a wave of people who are turning away from traditional jobs and looking to more fulfilling professions.

Maybe it’s the fact I am lucky to be a coach and attracting those who want to change. Maybe my enthusiasm brings it out but one thing is for sure, I meet more and more people who are turning away from making a living to making a difference.

How far we have come, from a society rebuilding itself at the aftermath of two world wars, to over-the-border consumerism to a growing current indigestion. There is a paradigm shift and I witness it every week. For all of you out there making a difference, kudos! For all of you thinking about making a difference, welcome! And for the rest, let’s talk more and communicate. I am happy to have witnessed that change. I am happy to live in these times.

In the meantime, I will leave you with Nelson Mandela’s inspired words:

“OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE. OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE. IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR DARKNESS, THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US. WE ASK OURSELVES, WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED AND FABULOUS? ACTUALLY, WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE? YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOESN’T SERVE THE WORLD THERE’S NOTHING ENLIGHTENED ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON’T FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU. WE WERE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD THAT IS WITHIN US. IT’S NOT JUST IN SOME OF US; IT’S IN EVERYONE. AND AS WE LET OUR OWN LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCONSCIOUSLY GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION TO SO THE SAME. AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR, OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS.”
