Today contribution to the 30-Day Letter Writing Coach4aday Challenge is on OPTIMISM

The challenge involves composing a letter to yourself when you were an earlier age. The goal is to focus on a value, habit, or choice that needs to be adopted or made.

Today is the last letter of this challenge. It is correspondence to my present-day self on what coaching and experiencing life’s journey has equipped me with. Specifically, to answer a philosophical question. Who Are You?

Day 30-Letter answering Who Are You?

March 30, 2023

Dear Present Day Dan:

When you start a sojourn as a coach you will transverse practices, games, seasons, and eventually a career. It helps if you pack personal optimism for your travels thru each experience.

From the moment you are born you begin to navigate seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years. Each one stands alone, but they become part of your totality of a person.

Journeys are full of decisions and the culmination of all of them will hopefully impart lessons, values, and principles that shape your life. As you end reading the last of these 30 letters today, I wanted to give you a synopsis on what might be the big takeaway to a philosophical question. Who Are You?

Well, the answer is going to depend on who you let answer the question. Not suggesting you will find a satisfactory response from Peter Townsend and The Who. To really dive into the question, you need to think about the truest and most authentic version of yourself. It will come as no surprise that other people and most importantly your own brain will tell you that is not possible.

The last lesson of the 30-Day Letter Writing Coach4aday Challenge is to provide a behavior and belief to best answer that question.  Don’t let the objections offered up for not becoming the real you become the answer. Even if it is just for a second or minute begin a new habit today of looking for ways to evolve in that best version of yourself. Instead of focusing on what the limitations are of go ahead and grab hold of the countless opportunities to arrive at what your authentic destiny is.

The lesson of thousands of practices, games, and journey is a reminder that you get to live a once in a lifetime story. When you weave optimism into your excursion thru life it becomes a more compelling event. Adding optimism can begin at any moment in life. When that occurs you will get a one of kind answer to the question Who are you.
