THERE - T = HERE

Another big part of living in the Just Fines is always wondering when you will be THERE. We all have a THERE. And actually, we probably have MANY different THEREs that we are trying to reach. These little THEREs sometimes make it difficult to appreciate where you are. HERE. What a difference that T makes.

When we are not THERE yet, we feel unfulfilled, dis-satisfied, maybe even stuck and lost. It's like nothing we do is ever enough. We feel like we're pushing and pushing and never getting ahead. And we aren't. Because it's impossible to get ahead when you keep adding more and more
things to the list and keep focusing on all that you still have to do.

I hear from clients often that they are trying so hard to get THERE, they are not appreciating any of the HERE. When you do this--focus on all that you still have to achieve, still have to do, still have to be--you forget to acknowledge, appreciate and RELISH all that you HAVE achieved, all that you HAVE done and all that you ARE.

So, what does your HERE look like right NOW? What are its gifts and challenges? And how might those challenges be gifts in themselves? This might be a big leap for you. That's ok. Just be open to the question. Be open to your HERE and all it is. Now.
