I remember a number of years ago working with someone that would deliver the most engaging and entertaining project management courses. They would be multi day and off site in sunny Queensland (oh what fun – those were the days).
Rob had this uncanny ability to include to use movies like Indiana Jones and a whole heap of cool movie references and relate them to Project Management. I admired the heck out of that skill.
I am pleased to inform you lovely peeps, I have officially been given the gift to do the same as Rob. I wonder if it is when you land on “THE ONE”. Not as a romantic partner, but the one business idea that you just seem to connect to, which seems to then connect to literally everything you can think of.
I was listening to Frankie Goes to Hollywood (yes, I am that young and have wonderful taste in music – thanks) and one of the lyrics was “Everybody Create your Fate”, from the song The Only Star in Heaven. When I made the connection to Design Your Life on Purpose I was stoked and could not wait to share my wisdom with you.
Is there a point to this nostalgia, Christina?
Yes, yes there is. You might be wondering if there is a better time to “create your fate”. Should it be a calendar year thing, financial year thing or some other milestone that gives you the ultimate “creating your fate” buzz.
The answer is….. more complicated than a simple reductive answer.
While I do harp on about starting NOW, as even the smallest step will reveal so much for you to decide next and subsequent steps. Even if, and often especially, if it is a misstep. Missteps can be amazing ways to learn more and what direction to take next.
What you need to do is decide when is right for YOU.
To aid you on your quest, here are two options:
Have a look at the questions below and see if you see change in your future
Reflect on where you are now and whether now is the right time to “create your fate or later.
If you projected forward to 12 months from now and you were in exactly the same situation, how would you feel? What about the next 6 months?
Are there major life decisions that have to dealt with in the short term – 3-6 months? Things like a major health issue, domestic issues, or mental health issues.
Are you in a place to be able to make changes to your life, even small ones to move you closer to the life you want?
Are you ‘over’ where you are now and want to change it? Even if you do not know what those changes are?
Are you ready to start investing in yourself and what you want from life, rather than doing for everyone else?
Are you the person who laments not taking action on something, when you could?
Change does not happen, when all the planets align or when everything is put into just the perfect place, ready for you to accept.
I think you should make the move just before you are ready or when you are ready. I believe that you will know when that time is for you.
I have one client who had a terrible time a few years ago, stuck in Australia during Covid and her Dad passed away in India. She was keen to go on my course, but was not ready, with everything else she was dealing with. She honoured her situation and what she needed to do.
I have another client who attended my course, literally 1 week, after giving birth.
You will know when is the right time for you to “Create your Fate”. Don't let some silly date in some calendar decide when it is right for you – you will know.
When you do decide I hope I get the pleasure of guiding you on that journey.
Yours Collaboratively,
