Introduction<br />

I learned about how to make the vision real, even<br />

when I could not see the vision for myself yet! The next<br />

step in a journey is not always the right one. It is just a<br />

step. We tend to unconsciously project expectations of<br />

good or bad on that step. We evaluate the step from the<br />

vantage point of, “Did it get me closer to my dream?”<br />

or “Was it the most efficient step?” Although the<br />

evaluation has meaning and purpose, there is something<br />

“unknowingness” of the next step, and the uncertainty<br />

of its outcome magically held in balance in the strength<br />

of vision and dream.<br />

it eludes us. What if the experience of work as fun is never<br />

perfected? What if we are constantly learning about how<br />

to make our work fun? Maybe the work you do today is<br />

not as fun as you would hope, but you can start to take<br />

a class or pick up a book or start a conversation to ask<br />

someone who has knowledge you can leverage. It is the<br />

composite of these baby steps that, when looked at in<br />

hindsight, clearly highlights the trajectory to success.<br />

journey led me to answer the call of coaching, and<br />
