Jaclyn Beckerman Coaching

Hello folks – it’s been awhile, I know.  I apologize for falling off the radar.  It’s been an amazing and very busy summer filled with friends, fun, inspiration and adventure.  As many of you know I’m off to travel the world for a year and a half and my journey essentially begins Sunday.

Here’s the breakdown… I’m driving cross-country for a week with a couple friends, going to a festival in Nevada for a week, CA for a month, Austin, TX for 5 days, then South America for 6 1/2 months.  In South America I’ll be going to Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil then in Central America, Panama and Costa Rica.  Then I’ll return to NY/NJ for 2 months to visit friends and family.  Then Africa (South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe & Egypt – perhaps more) for 2-3 months and Southeast Asia (India, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam & Indonesia) for 6-7 months.  Phew!

I’ll be starting another blog just to update everyone on my life in transit and will note the web address on here for those who are interested and want to follow.

I will still be coaching/working with clients while I travel and I already have the phone issue sorted out.

So why am I sharing this here? Here’s the thing – I’ve had countless people express to me how envious they are of my life.  What I tell them?  If you want it too, do it. The life you live depends solely on the choices you make.  So what DO you want?

The fact that I am now taking on my life’s dream of world travel was NOT predictable 2 years ago.  Before I started coaching and being coached, doing the work to get out of my own way and create a life I love – where my fears don’t run the show – I was slighty uncomfortable going to the movies or dinner alone.  Traveling the world by myself would have been unthinkable.  I’ve always been pretty independent but if you told me this would be my life 2 years ago I would have wistfully laughed and sighed “I wish”.

What I’ve learned is that your life is happening now.  You cannot wait for someone else to hand you the life you want.  Or for it to just fall in your lap.  You will spend your whole life waiting.  You have to commit to creating it and then actually do what you say you’re going to do.  Take the actions there are to take.  Figure out what you want – set a date for by when it will happen and put one foot in front of the other.

If you want world travel, buy an around the world travel guide and start planning.  If you want the relationship of your dreams, play a game with yourself of how many dates you can go on in a week.  If you hate your job, re-vamp your resume and start sending it out today.  It is no one’s responsibility but your own to create the things you want in your life.  No one will do it for you – they’re too busy moaning and groaning about not having the life THEY want.

Stop talking about living a great life and start living it.  The time is always now.  And you are more than capable. Walk the talk.
