Finding out what really matters
I spoke with my new life coach – yep, I hired her – and we had an interesting talk about what really matters. We didn’t get far in our introductory sessions but two of the things that stood out right away for me are friendships and intellectual stimulation. I was speaking to a friend who quit her job because while she was working with nice people, she didn’t really like any of them. Working with people you enjoy being around, who support and care for you, are essential to any relationship whether it is for work or fun.
Intellectual stimulation is a little harder to get when you’re past school, developed an expertise in your career, and in general have to really pursue it because it is not happening around you naturally.

huh, and here i thought i lacked intellectual stimulation because of where i live. i guess i thought your neck of the woods was full of bright spirits and educated people whose conversations rose above the norm and would fill you with intellectual stimulation. well, at least we have the internet to help us both.

Ha – me – I just saw your note, it slipped by unnoticed – how could that be? Like I have so many intelligent people responding to my blog – as if! – we need to create an intellectual environment or just read all day!
