The timing just never seems to be right. We never have quite enough money for our undertaking or venture. We convince ourselves that we're not smart enough to go for our master's degree, or go to go back to college... To this I can only say one thing -- HOGWASH!

My friend, simple fact is that if you wait for "just right moment" before you undertake any significant venture you're likely going to be about where you are now -- still waiting. Why is that?

Because as most anyone who has gone before you will tell you, there is rarely a "right time" to set out in search of ones destination.

Sure, there are variables that can come into play. For example, if you're dream is of starting a home business, yet you rely on day to day income that your job provides last thing you'd want to do is to simply quit that job. However, what's stopping you from starting and working it around your existing career? Then as your business takes off you can choose (or not) to move fully into your business and phase out your old job.

I’ve been thinking about some of my clients who have expressed concerns about being authentic and connecting with people. One client lives in a rural area and is having trouble connecting with like-minded people. She feels isolated and lonely. I have another client who is hesitant to be her authentic self yet longs for a meaningful relationship. It got me thinking, why is it so hard for us to share our humanity?

About 3 years ago I participated in a life-transforming program that challenged my beliefs and thoughts about myself. For two intense yet wonderful weeks I put myself in hands of trust and began to let go of limiting stories I had created that kept me from fully experiencing my life and being me.

One of exercises I was invited to experience was called “May I join you?” The instructions were as follows: We were to be dropped off in middle of a food court in a bustling downtown shopping area. We were to purchase our lunch, find a stranger or group of strangers sitting at a table and simply ask, “May I join you?”. If we received an affirmative response we were to sit down, not reveal why and eat our lunch.

Now this might not seem like a big deal to some of you, especially if you are from a non—American culture. But, let me assure you, it was a big deal for me, and most of other participants. As we rode together to appointed location there was a flurry of anticipation and nervous energy.
