Konkurrencer – Welcome! Enjoy thinking things over but be sure to follow them up with action.

Stacey – I agree. I’ve heard your dream and it’s a doozie! It’s very gratifying to hear of your recent momentum. I celebrate you!

I’m not sure I could have a bigger dream, and it’s damn uncomfortable. It even makes other people a tad uncomfortable. Someone actually looked at me recently during a conversation and said in awe, “Wow, I don’t dream that big.”

First TV episode ready to go this weekend! And new yoga classes (live) are in session with more to come. I finally stopped resisting and it’s happening. Cool stuff, for sure.

Chris – Go for it man! In these virtual, disconnected days folks need some belly to belly real time authentic experiences. I’m sure your workshop will be grand.

Scott – Welcome. Yes a lack of confidence can cause a lack of focus because it tends to cause incompletions. Better to stay with one thing. Complete it and then see how confident you are.

Ayo – Welcome. Hope your reflection continues to be inspiring and driven. We all have so much more in us than usually gets expressed.

Stacey – I’m pleased that you can feel the boldness in my words. Sample sessions are an excellent way for folks to experience the lift and clarity of coaching. I sometimes offer them myself especially when the client has no idea how much progress coaching can guide.

I love how bold and big your writing is Tom. The words just jump off the screen for me as I read this post. I’m offering free coaching sessions right now for anyone who wants to DREAM BIG and TAKE ACTION. I love how you encourage us to LIVE BIG because it implies living in the moment.

Hi Tom,

I loved this post.

It’s quite inspiring and challenging.

It caused me to reflect on the plans & projects I have ahead of me.

I particularly like the section on Big dreams ……. & Big callings….

Take care

Excellent post! I would also add that, in my life, lack of confidence or my being full of fear are direct contributors to my lack of focus, follow-through and completion. I imagine your class will address this though.

Thanks for this Tom — and speaking of living big, I’ve been inspired by what you said about your workshop — I’ve now resolved to put one on, and the only issue is finding people who will come! But I think I’ll work that out

Keena – You can of course just let that idea simmer or you can goose it a bit by asking these questions. What might my biggest game be? What might happen if I brought all of myself to bear on the thing I care the most about?

Patty – Welcome. Thanks for your comment. I find that most of our evolutionary points can be accelerated by reframing our perspective and then seeing what we think. The wisdom certainly resides within when we don’t shy away from our deepest truths.

Katey – Sounds like you could have written that Ready Fire Aim book. Swiftness to action often wins the day. Your experience is indeed inspiring. I’m honored to know you.

Evelyn – Great question. Not only whose to say you won’t succeed? But success comes in many forms so whose to say even temporary failure isn’t better than playing small? Me that’s who! Keep asking those deep questions. All is well.
