While I was training to be a professional coach, I had a really interesting conversation with a classmate that has stuck with me. He told me about a vivid childhood memory from being on holiday with his cousins, going to the local grocers and picking out his “very own green apple.”
Delving deeper, we unearthed that for him the green apple symbolised CHOICE. 🍏
It was his choice to pick whichever apple he wanted out of the box and it made him feel giddy, empowered and liberated.
Choosing the possibility
Choice is defined as an act of choosing between two or more possibilities.
When it comes to your own fulfilment, you can choose to:
➡️ Stay put OR change
➡️ Stay in your comfort zone OR get messy in your growth zone
➡️ Walk the path of others OR be your own trailblazer
➡️ Blame others OR take responsibility
➡️ Be curious OR dismissive
➡️ Be vulnerable OR risk avoidant
You get to choose your very own green apple.
You get to choose to reconnect with the natural you – your big visions, your desires and your potential. You have a choice to discover things about yourself you never knew.
You get to make choices about the way you live, work and play in a way that feels truly aligned to you.
You get to choose to be giddy, empowered and liberated just like my classmate.
The reality is, we all have one precious green apple – one life – and spend a third of it working, so why shouldn’t you choose to go after the changes you want to make in your work or life.
Food for thought! 🍏😃
If you’re feeling stuck or lacking the sense of fulfilment you crave, I’ll help you take a bite out of your very own green apple 🍏
