Now I am settling down to focus on chapter 29 "staying on track" (or you could say going the distance)

In my role as a career and life coach, I play an active role in helping people stay on track when circumstances threaten to derail them and prevent them from achieving their goals. Despite knowing in their heart what they want to achieve and armed with all the best intentions of taking concrete action to achieve their goals, they stall. You may think, as I once did, that stalling is not as bad as being derailed. But check out the dictionary definition and it is quite clear. Stalling IS stopping.

De·rail (d-r l’)
* To run or cause to run off the rails.
* To come or bring to a sudden halt: a campaign derailed by lack of funds; a policy that derailed under the new administration.

So how, once they have derailed, do people get back on track?

Motivation, focus and empowerment comes from seeing life from the future rather than from the past. Identifying with the self they are heading towards, rather than their history, holds the key.

In this chapter, I’ll share some practical and helpful tips to get people moving toward their preferred future again

“The key that unlocks energy is desire. IF we expect to create any drive, any real force within ourselves, we have to get excited.”
