I suppose it’s probably possibly – but I don’t think it’s your cliff. I think that’s you trying to make a safe passage – or trying to figure out how to create balance in your life. Cliffs are the things we are afraid of, but long for at the same time. Cliffs are the things we’d be doing if anything was possible, if we had every resource we needed and success was guaranteed. What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? That’s your cliff. If you knew you had all the resources and couldn’t fail you wouldn’t be investing time in what you put in your comment.
No, if I had to guess I’d say it’s probably more accurate that your current cliff is learning how to live true to yourself (and for yourself) while honouring and creating the above mentioned balance in your life.

Yours,
Megan

Thanks for the challenge Megan! My cliff is really figuring out how to combine my passion of helping others heal-earn a income and finish my schooling all at once-is that possible???

I know exactly how you feel. The question is then: What do you need right now to help you take the first beginning step?

Do you need a coach of your own? To ask questions of other coaches? To just do it? To write a manifesto? To start a “successes” list (a list of all the things you’ve done to prove the gremlin voice wrong)?

Let me know how I can help you! I’m positive that you actually can, and are fully qualified to, be a fabulous coach.

Yours,
Megan

My cliff this year is taking steps to become a working professional life coach. I have desired this for a long, long time. I’ve read books, listened to audio, gone to workshops — you name it, I’ve done it. But, my inner troll always barks, “who do you think you are?” “what do you know?” “You are not qualified!” “You suck …” etc.

I have decided that 2010 will finally be the year when I stop longing, dreaming, scheming and leap over the cliff. Yet, I’m scared. I’m unsure where to begin. My troll’s bark is getting louder (even as I type this, I am tempted to delete it all and not admit publicly what I want.)

I’m ready. I feel I’m on the verge … at the edge of the cliff … all that’s left is to leap and trust the net will appear.
