A new beginning
The last few days have been special, the kind where the butterflies in your stomach invade your chest and even, with some discretion, your arms and legs. My head swings between clarity and total satisfaction and a feeling of fog and numbness. Two days ago I announced my coaching website to the world, with a great deal of uncertainty but also enormous enthusiasm and, above all, a huge dose of courage in the face of various fears. This moment represents a significant step on a path that is far from over, but which is already full of experiences that have been as challenging as they have been magical.
Throughout this journey, I have encountered obstacles that have made me question many things, moments of uncertainty that have been interspersed with achievements that have made me feel invincible. Both feelings have been temporary and recurring. I've embraced new ideas, kept some old ones and dropped others. Again and again. Each challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow, to discover new sides of myself and develop the skills that I now also share through my delivery as a coach
In the midst of the mixture of sufferings and blessings, something incredible remained: the unwavering and indispensable support of my family and lifelong friends. What's more, I've been lucky enough to meet new friends and build new families along the way. The journey is individual, but it is never alone.
And by no means least, I was also lucky enough to be guided by various mentors, teachers and coaches. I used to think of this help as "from me to me", because I was the one who sought it, I was the one who got it. But now, looking back, it seems to me that this help flows continuously from the universe, from everyone to everyone. We are social beings and socializing, for me, is much more than simply drinking coffee (although sharing a table for coffee or anything else is very necessary too).
Today, the butterflies in my stomach are more alive than ever. They don't just fly around me, but also around me, contaminating those who let themselves be contaminated with enthusiasm and curiosity and entertaining those who prefer to watch from a distance. As I so often do.
This is just another starting point, a chapter in an ever-evolving book. I look forward to seeing what the future holds, with gratitude for the past and present and excitement for what's to come.
Shall we move on?
