Hello Hello and good morning listeners. Coach Kate here with another Minute Motivation to get your day started. I host this space weekday mornings and try to start the day off with some insight, some reflection, some quotes, or even just some questions to start the day.
Since today is mid-week, mid journey through this passage of time, I thought we could dive into routine and direction and offer some perspective on switching directions. We often can get stuck in our routines and not want to change, just because of the time we spent or the money we spent sinking into an idea, trajectory, or even place or person. The truth is, we can change our minds at any time, and offer ourselves a wildly different future, mid life, mid relationship, mid career, even and even just a wildly different mid-week.
So this wonderful wednesday, mid week check in, I am sharing a quote with you all from the Screenplay The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was written by Eric Roth who adapted the wonderful and brilliant short story that shares the same name by F.Scott Fitzgerald. This story dives right into what a normal trajectory of life looks like, and also what it can look like instead. Here is Eric Roth's quote on the direction that life takes us, and where we can also take ourselves in life too:
“For what it’s worth … it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”
We aren't so tethered to our life trajectory as we think. We have the ability each and every day to wake up to a whole new direction, a whole new life, and whole new world if that's what we choose. I know it's wednesday. I know it's mid week, and we feel tethered to finishing out this week a certain way. So today, I encourage you to think, if this was a Monday, or more largely, if this was a new year, or a new chapter for you, what ways would you choose to live it, today? What ways can you grow? What can you do today to align with your biggest, most glorious goal? Or maybe, what can you do today to align yourself with those small goals that you envision for yourself too? Sometimes the only limits we put on ourselves are from ourselves. Today, I encourage you to not only think of this as a new opportunity for yourself to align to your greatest purpose, but as your opportunity to take that leap ahead and go live it too.
I'm Coach Kate. Thank you all for listening today. If you liked what you heard today, feel free to follow me as we ask ourselves big questions, hold ourselves accountable to our dreams, and even explore our place in the universe during these weekday sessions. If you would like to dive into any of my other talks, you can do so under the talk tab in my profile. Thanks again for listening, and see you all again, tomorrow.
