Summary
A few weeks ago, we went to St. Lucia I got to get out of the dreary cold days (BYE Canadian winter) and into the sun. I swam in the ocean. I relaxed in a mineral bath, stood under a waterfall, and ate some of the best food I've ever had. It was awesome. But the best thing about this vacation was the perspective shift it gave me I was thinking about all the things I worry about on a regular basis: Do I have enough business? Am I making enough money? Will this client hate the way I coach? What if no one comes to my conference? And I realized something important about these worries: None of this matters. In fact, most of the things we worry about don't matter. If the client hates my coaching, they'll fire me. And I'll get a new client. If I'm not making enough money, I'll figure out how to make more. These are all solvable problems. And they aren't really what matters. I was sitting on the beach, looking out at the ocean, and I realized: *This* is what matters. Spending time with my husband. Having adventures. Laughing. Enjoying life. It's incredible what a little perspective can give you. For me, in this moment, it's given me back my happiness.
