I’m a big believer in continuing education.  I encourage my students to take advantage of learning opportunities, and like a good coach, I practice what I preach.

Last week, I went to a 3-hour seminar with a group of my friends.  And it stretched my thinking.  Actually, I’m still processing some of the material nearly a week later.

Four of us piled into the car and drove from Knoxville to Atlanta.  We chatted nonstop on the way down about our challenges.  We shared our goals and supported each other to dream bigger. (Isn’t it great to have people like that in your life?  People you can openly share with and know they’ll give you the honest truth?)

Personally, I had a couple of big “aha” moments that afternoon.  I got really clear that I have some big dreams about the impact I want to make on the world. I saw how BIG my dreams are. I also saw that I have some work to do to make it happen.  And I’m ready!

How about you? Are you working to improve yourself and your skills so that you can reach your dreams?  Or are you “playing it safe” and staying with what’s comfortable for you?

I’d love to hear what you think.  Hit the comment link and share.
