It’s fine to seek the opinion of others in the process of forming your own. We all learn from each other in that way, and that’s a good thing. It’s fine to enjoy the recognition of others for things you do well, but there’s only one person’s approval you really need: your own.

I have uttered these words twice in the last week, once to a coaching client and once to myself, both times in conversation about being a parent. The idea of being a lighthouse is certainly not limited to our role as parents. We can be lighthouses in all areas of our lives.

Figuring out who you really are is a life-long discovery process that, if you pay attention, is all the ‘entertainment’ you’ll likely ever need!
