Stepping Into Life

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty...the quintessential coaching movie. Beautiful things don't ask for attention, this was a line from the movie.  The main character, Walter, is a daydreamer who in his imagination, lives out the things he wants to say and do. Walter works in "negative assets" at Life magazine, developing pictures and as the story unfolds, his muse becomes a photographer, Sean, who calls him forth to live his daydreams, making them reality. As I watched, Wally transformed, from basement dweller to adventure seeker, daydreamer to reality maker, neverneverland habitant to actualization man speaking the truth daringly, with fearless conviction.  His values took him to action, and all the while he was called out, called forth, by his muse, several muses. That's the coach in us, in me, calling forth, to speak, to live the dream, to love the values so much that the client can't help but live out loud. The shear beauty along with the elegant presentation of the message is unmistakable, to dream without action is nothing, a lost opportunity, to dream and step into the dream and live it, that if LIFE.
