Here at the Coaching Blog- one of the world’s leading blogs on the subject of Leadership and Coaching we quite often post articles by leading authors and authorities- today we are delighted to post an article from Medium.com by Chloe Leb.
On March 30th, 2016, I joined Thomas Despin to cross the United States from New York to San Francisco by bicycle. One of our common objective is to improve our discipline, by making every day, for 120 days. He makes videos, I write articles.
5 years from now I would have never expected living the life as I do. I won’t serve you any kind of bullshit here, telling you that I am living the best life ever.
First, because it doesn’t mean a thing. No one is living the best life, some people are just grateful for what they have and these people have the best life. You can have it too, it comes from the way you think.
Secondly, because there is always better to achieve and more to do. That’s the way life is, and that is what makes it worth living : the range of possibilities. We have and we will always have something new to learn.
I am only 27. I did everything that I wanted. It doesn’t mean that the outcome always worth the journey. It doesn’t mean that I had everything. It means that, whatever and whenever something felt right to me, I went for it. I get things wrong more than once, I felt lonely as shit, I learnt back and forth but I get over it. Life goes on, and I move on.
In the present moment, I am in a coffee shop in Bushwick, Brooklyn (NY), from where I am writing this article. I am about crossing the US by bicycle from New York to San Francisco with Thomas, that I didn’t know 3 months ago.
I’ve never really cycled before, or ever lived and traveled with a guy whom I don’t know. Some people think that it’s brave or inspiring. I don’t think it is.
I could totally freak out on the road and go back home. I could change my mind. I may never succeed. And if the hell one of those things happen, who cares ?
I am living my life and that’s the only matter. Certain people live their life without even realizing that they have only one of it.
I am overthinking. That’s the way it is. I doubt all the way, so I write. It clears my mind. This morning as I walked under the sun, I reminded how life is fucking amazing when you embrace it instead of fighting it.
I don’t want to stop being crazy, sensitive or excessive. Fine, because I won’t ever be someone else. That’s the way I am and it’s what led me here.
This message is a pain in the ass to me, reminding me the most important things I learnt so far.
I do. I actually feel a lot of things. But the day when I realized that it was the best indicator to live a life I won’t regret, I started to act differently. More than accepting the way I am, I took decisions according to the way I feel.
One of the best tips to feel better.
I see life as a gigantic playground. If I don’t try to find what suits me the best, I shall never find. I travel, I work in different companies, in various ways, of different countries.
To build a career, to have a home, to earn money ? I shall figure it out along the way.
I don’t say that we have to go wherever and to do anything to know us better. Some people know exactly who they are considering where they are. I’m not just one of them. Everybody has to follow what suits him.
I am afraid of days when I don’t trust in me. The lack of self-confidence is the most harmful thing. It can urge you to regret moments, or to miss people.
I don’t believe that we can go wherever alone. There is always somebody. It can be whoever, at any time. Sometimes even 10 minutes with somebody can lead us to the next stage of our life. There is love, friendship, but there is also unexpected meetings, strangers, late conversations which change your world for ever.
I am not telling you that it is easy. I am not telling you that there is a way to have everything figure it out.
