Yesterday I discovered something really important.  And it is not just about Kayaking.  It is about how I am running my life...

It was a brilliant afternoon, the sea was calm and I was excited to escape from staring at my computer screen.  I took my yellow sea kayak out of the garage and decided not to bother with putting it on my car roof-rack.  Instead I put on the trolley wheels and wheeled it down to the ocean (I live up a steep hill and use that as an excuse for using my car!).  I then packed the wheels inside the kayak and paddled off into the glinting ocean.

I had been paddling a while when I thought, "OK I have to turn around and go back to the car".  Then I remembered there was no car, only the set of wheels that was happily travelling along inside my kayak.  I was struck by an enormous sense of freedom.  "I can go anywhere I like".  I can get out and simply walk the kayak back from wherever I chose.

Now this might sound like a blinding flash of the obvious.  However, do you find that your choices in life can be limited because of existing commitments?  How flexible can you be when times change?  Are you stuck in a rut doing the same old thing?

We need to get a symbolic 'set of wheels' in our life that gives us freedom and greater choice.

That is what I am noticing with my Adventure Coaching clients.  They have a whole new freedom to make powerful choices.  So get in contact and lets talk about new wheels!
