Secret ambitions

Someone asked me today if I'd ever had a secret ambition. I promptly answered that I'd love to be a rock star like Alicia Keys or James Hetfield (Metallica) but currently only sing out loud when I know for a fact that all my neighbours are out.

My other secret ambition (to be a writer) is how I make my living (writing and coaching since 2004) so that feels great.

I love the question. A secret ambition. A completely free pass for another aspect of your personality to grow and develop...

What's your secret ambition?

Can you imagine ever making it a reality? (I coached myself into my freelance writing career after training as a life coach.)

Or is it something you're happy to just smile when you contemplate it? (I wouldn't really want to be a rock star. I just love the idea of being that kind of extraverted soul.)

What can you start doing to bring your secret ambition to life? (E.g. singing at the top of your lungs when you have the privacy and space / brushing up on your science to see if it's worth training to be a doctor / doing a short run to see if you can imagine yourself training hard enough to complete a marathon?)

I'd love to hear how you get on. You can email me at eve@applecoaching.com
