Alone… single… or married… coupled?
By Coach Colleen | August 22, 2006
Feeling alone doesn’t have anything to do with whether or not you are in a relationship with another person. It has everything to do with your relationship with yourself.
So, I’ll ask “Do you have a good relationship with yourself?”
Well, “Do you?” you ask of me. Most of the time is my answer. Sometimes, I just feel like I’m alone on an uninhabited island without a soccer ball to talk to. In those moments, it is hard to have a non-pity party conversation with myself.
What I’ve discovered is that if I change my metaphor just a bit, my mood mysteriously changes to fit the new metaphor. My ‘I’m alone on an uninhabited island’ metaphor is quite different if ‘I’m on a secluded beach.’ On that secluded beach, I’m away from the hustle of the world and alone where I can, without embarrassment, write my wildest and biggest dreams in the sand. Then I can sit back and watch the incoming tide capture my dreams so they will be distributed to the far corners of the world.
Who knows who will be walking on a sandy beach in Madagascar and be inspired to participate in my dream.
Where do you want your dreams to go?
