What Do YOU Want?

So.....what’s your answer? Well, you might have just listed a lot of things. I want more time, I want a new car, I want some lunch--I’m hungry. Ok, wait. Let’s start over....What do you REALLY want in life? Woh-a, you say...That’s a big one. Yes, it IS big. And your life is big too. And sometimes we spend a lot of years working toward something we THINK we want. And when we get there, it might be just ok. Or maybe we realize along the way, we really didn’t want THIS exactly.Or maybe we get there and it’s great...for a month, a day, an hour.

Knowing what YOU really want is a huge element of getting out of the ‘Just Fines’. It is quite common that we have made decisions that SEEMed right or made sense or were what everyone expected us to do or what everyone else was doing. And this is a sure way to end up in the Just Fines. Because if you didn’t make the choices based on what YOU truly wanted, then they weren’t YOUR choices and although they might lead you to fine, it is unlikely they will result in the MORE you are looking for.

So wherever you are right now, start thinking about what YOU truly want. What is it that gives you energy, what inspires you? What fills you up inside when you think about it? There are plenty of tools out there to help you explore more. But start with these simple questions and see where they take you. Start collecting some clues as to what you want your life to look like when you have stopped settling for Just Fine--there is SO much more out there for you. I KNOW there is!

Welcome to the More Than Just Fine Blog

Welcome to my first post here on More Than Just Fine. This feels a bit monumental as I am not a blogger. Wait, what am I saying? That is obviously not true as I am blogging as I write this. I have not BEEN a blogger in the past nor have I ever thought I would be a blogger. But recently, due to a number of different events that I will talk more about in future blogs, I realized that the blogging world was pulling me in.

I have spent the last few years re-designing my life -- making it truly my OWN life. This is not necessarily an easy feat. And as there was actually nothing really wrong with my life before, there was one element that I have been acutely aware of during the process. It was vitally important that the life I designed be MORE than just fine. Fine is fine. But I wanted MORE than fine. And I knew it was out there. I just didn’t know how to get it or...to be honest, I didn’t really even know what that MORE looked like.

I was stuck in what I call the Just Fines for quite a while. And although it can be an ok place to be for a while, when you are stuck there it feels stifling and stagnant and uninspiring. When you are there, it can sometimes feel like you will never find your way--like you will always have this hole to fill, this thing to fix. I can tell you from personal experience that there IS more to life than Just Fine. If you are currently stuck there, it is possible to get out. I promise. And not get out for just a little while, but get out for GOOD!

I have learned LOADS along the way to finding my MORE than just fine. And I am now coaching people in getting out of the Just Fines and finding their own unique version of MORE. And this blog is an extension of that. So that is my main intention with this blog--to inspire and support YOU.

So what is your MORE and are you living it? If you are not sure what that MORE might be or even if you are, but you know you are not yet living it...come along with me. Finding my MORE was the best journey of my life (and I have had some good ones!) and I would be willing to bet that it will be yours too!
