To Share or Not to Share

The other day a friend I hadn't seen in a while asked me what I'm doing now days. When I told her that I'm coaching, she was skeptical not only of the concept in general but of the specific type of work that I do.




I could tell that she doesn't believe in my ability to be successful in my business and I've been regretting that I gave her an honest answer. She is someone who loves me and has what she views as my best interest at heart. She just can't wrap her mind around all of this woowoo stuff that I do. She is holding my endeavor in a space of 'this is crazy and you'll never make it.'


This conversation has stuck with me for several days now causing me to consider whether or not it is wise to share my dreams and goals with everyone or just keep them to myself. As I turn this question over in my mind, I've been remembering a time when I had a whole tribe of supporters who saw me in a better place than I could possibly have imagined for myself at the time. They held space for something wonderful in my life when I couldn't catch a glimmer of it myself.


As I notice the contrast in these two situations, it occurs to me that I can share as much as I want with anyone that I want as long as I have not attachment to their reaction. It was lovely and maybe even necessary to have all of that support years ago. It made that part of my path much easier than it would have been otherwise. However, I know that at some point, I would have found a way out of the grind I was in one way or another.


As for the friend who can't believe in my current mission, it's who she is and I've known that about her forever. Although it would be great to have her in my corner, I'm good realizing that she asked about what I'm doing out of genuine interest and a place of caring. I can choose to accept the caring and discard the negative energy while still loving her for who she is. I will, however, be a little more selective about sharing my dreams with just anyone.


I love helping people achieve their dreams.  It's one of the things I do best.  Give me a shout if you'd like to have me as part of your team.
