You were instructed.

But life has changed and you are left with your own devices.

It’s like GPS all of a sudden stopped working. 

Cars are honking.

People are looking and screaming.

But in your world, it doesn't exist.

The barrier and obstacle you see makes it impossible to start.

“What the f*#$!!! Why isn’t waze working?” is what you say. 

Before it was easy.

“Turn left.”

"Take the fourth exit.”

"Keep straight on, then turn right.”

"You have reached your destination."

Now you have no idea how to physically, mentally, and emotionally arrive at your goals. 

My mentor painted a picture for coaches to guide students along their journey. 

Your pathway will have a series of traffic lights.

Personal commitment, work pressure, and family stress always gives you a yellow or red light.

My job is to anticipate your traffic lights so you don’t feel uncomfortable.

There are parts when you slow down and lack motivation.

Sometimes the traffic lights won’t be on green because of new exercises and controlling your cravings.

In order for you to not get stuck, I will give you information.

After a while you will feel comfortable and speed up.

Early on, the process might seem complicated.

When you see an obstacle and barrier coming up, the community and myself will cheer you on and give you more information.

You’re smart.

Your mind has the ability to take on a lot of information.

It becomes second nature.

So, as you approach each intersection, you’re educated and will be much more calm.

In the right frame of mind and at the right pace, you can digest, adapt, and hurdle any questions that hold you back.
