How the Hell Did I Get Here? When Life Takes You Somewhere You Never Planned

Have you ever looked at your life and thought…

"How the hell did I get here?"

I have.

Twenty-six years ago I thought I knew exactly where I was going. I wanted NLP to help me become a kick-ass business person.

Instead, I discovered hypnosis.

And that completely changed the direction of my life.

Then, years later, a phone call from a friend led me into another part of my career that I'd never planned, never expected and initially didn't even want.

It became one of the best things that ever happened to me.

And that's what got me wondering:

Why do we think the rest of our lives has to be planned?

Maybe life isn't always about following the plan.

Maybe it's about having a direction… and being open enough to notice what appears along the way.
