Episode #910 - July 14, 2023 In coaching people going through change, I am often struck by their discouragement, frustration, and resentment. I have come to recognize, however, that those feelings reveal that the person is looking backward—at something that has already occurred. As soon as we are able to create a clear plan for the future, those feelings dissipate and are replaced by hope, optimism, and enthusiasm. In all my years of coaching, I have never seen a person who has a clear plan and goals for the future who is also depressed. They just don’t go together.Questions: 1. I don't even dream anymore. 2. How can I make plans for the future if I am depressed? 3. Will I come into money in the Future? 4. Do you still stay in touch with the man who loaned you the mercury zephyr years ago? Find direct links to the resources mentioned on this podcast in the podcast show notes at https://www.48days.com/depressed-and-no-dreams/
