I absolutely love Halloween. It fills me with delight to see the trick-or-treaters so excited about wearing their costumes, getting loads of candy, and spending great quality time with their families and friends. I have a few trick-or-treaters myself so the excitement gets sprinkled throughout the month of October from picking out costumes, to decorating, to buying candy (we wait to the very last minute for this one, to help us all avoid the temptation!). It reminds me that life can be like Halloween. What is stopping us from trying on a new costume and asking for candy? Sure, you might receive a trick instead of a treat, someone might not be home, or you might get candy you don't love, but in the end, it's not just the candy but the experience that makes it so much fun! Recently, I have been trick-or-treating myself. My costume as a coach is only about a year old, and my costume as a public speaker is even newer, and yet they feel really great. Narrowing my focus to work with people who are committed to giving back to the world in some meaningful way also feels great. As for the candy, I have started a blog where I get to communicate with a wider audience and I have attended several events where I have been able to come together with like minded people who share my passion to make the world a better place. I think of it as Karmic Candy. So, instead of thinking "you can't," put yourself in the mindset of a child who is trick-or-treating, not sure what each house will bring, but enjoying the experience and being in the moment. And remember, it's not just you who receives the "treats" but the person handing out the candy shares in the joy as well.
