As a life coach one of my goals is to not only guide people into meeting their potential but also to strive to meet my own potential. I think one of the best things any individual can do is give part of themselves to someone else. Time is one of our most valuable assets and what we do with it speaks volumes of the type of people we are. I got an opportunity to attend a seed packing event at Willow Chicago due to an invite from my friend Darren Calhoun owner of Quick Click Media. It was an awesome 2 hour event where various seeds were sorted and packed to go to families in El Salvador. It was a chance for me to forget about other things that I could have been doing and give time to an effort that was about helping others. I really enjoyed the event and am glad that I was invited out. There are plenty of opportunities where you can volunteer some of your time. Soup kitchens, clothing give aways, homeless shelters, night ministries are all opportunities that you can give your time to. My coaching tip is to forget about what you have to do for a little while and give of yourself!
