Imagine a relationship where the total focus is on you, on what you want in your life, and on what will help you achieve it.
Imagine someone listening, not only to your words, but also to what’s behind them – who even listens to the spaces between the words.
Imagine someone who will hold you accountable and keep you moving forward toward your dreams and goals.
Imagine a relationship with someone who is totally curious about your dreams and aspirations, what makes you tick, what you value, what you are most passionate about in your life—a person who will help you clarify your goals and provide the tools for action and learning that lead to the results you want.
Imagine a relationship in your life with a person is sometimes even more committed to what you want in your life than you are. Imagine what it would be like if someone knew your values and life purpose and was holding you true to them—someone who would hold the flag at the top of the hill, encouraging you to press on, someone to celebrate your victories and help you learn from your setbacks.
Imagine a relationship with someone who will absolutely tell you the truth—the truth about where you are strong, for example, and where you sell yourself short—someone who knows you can handle it and knows that’s what you want.
Imagine someone who listens to you without judgment and allows you to show emotion—in fact, accepts you without analyzing you.
Imagine a relationship where you finally break free of those self-limiting conversations you’ve been having over the years—where now the voices of defeat and sabotage are simply noticed for what they are and the powerful part of you is always encouraged.
