What the Doctor said!

It was such an amazing moment when earlier this week, I was sitting for tea with some clients of mine. The husband happens to be a doctor. I cannot remember exactly how the conversation started, but he basically wanted to ask me advice because he doesn't know what to do with his career life! He's a Doctor and he doesn't know what he wants to be

Fantastic. It's amazing when things open and clarify. Congratulations on recognizing this in your life, even if you don't know all the next steps.

Life coaching anyone?

I think if we're truly on the path we're meant to walk then we will not ever have mastered it 100%. Because we will go deeper, find a new angle, a new style, something. Great dancers may "master" ballet but then they learn modern and grow even more as ballet dancers (didn't Martha Graham do this and reinvent dance?) or they'll choreograph something completely new, etc.

Your post comes comes after a night spent talking with a bunch of artists about mastery - is it accolades? technique? motion? All of it? Nothing? Such a good conversation to have: one with no answers.

I think maybe I am a control freak so I feel insecure if I haven't mastered something - and yet it is my habit to think I don't know enough at any level - so I set myself up to never succeed!

I did think of Life Coaching, but my initial reaction to that is UGH! Hm?

But I'm really in the throes of financial survival and indecision about the best step (completely changing direction AGAIN) or perservering or ??? so I don't expect my state of mind is primed for even recognizing what my dream job could be.

For now, I do a lot of Kala, acceptance of what just is and reminding myself that my emotions around this circumstance and this circumstance is not Me. This weekend I plan to do a ritual asking the Gods for help.
