The A-Ha! Moment

As a Myera facilitator, we witness a lot of what Oprah Winfrey might call A-Ha! Moments. This often happens when participants start to recognize the potential for their future.

It’s exciting to observe how people react as they think about and write down potential areas of action, considering the great freedom that they can create as they transition beyond the dreaded retirement date. In fact, for many people, this is the first time they have really even permitted themselves to think about what comes next.

Here’s a great example:

There was a woman during a Myera.MyLife™ Workshop who obviously did a lot of good thinking about her future, and was very pleased with the plans she had established. And rightfully so.

A week later, she attended the Myera.MyFinancialComfort™ workshop. When asked if anyone had made major changes to their current activities or plans as a result of the Myera.MyLife™ Workshop, she said she had, in fact made a change. A major one. She QUIT HER JOB!

We were somewhat taken aback until she explained that she was not satisfied with her old position and, in doing her planning, realized that in order to meet her newly created goals, she would have to earn more money and/or work for a longer period of time. She explained that she had been able to find a new job immediately that was more aligned with her unique abilities and that allowed her to earn more income. She thanked us for giving her the tools to better understand what steps she should take in planning her life.
