First class is not just a seat - It is a way of life

Thanks to a friend who shared an upgrade pass with me, I was able to fly first class to Australia. This was an especially nice treat since I have never flown first class. I was struck by the roominess of the seats, the fact that I order my meals, and was even provided with a flannel bag that has such luxuries as a toothbrush and toothpaste and socks. Flying first class truly was.

I began to think that first class was simply more than a seat; it was a way of life. I asked myself, "On the airplane of life, where was I sitting?" I realized that in life we also have the opportunity to go first class. In life, how we treat ourselves, the quality of our relationships and how much we allow ourselves to experience either create a first class experience or not.

Coaching

Luckily in life we do not have to wait for someone else to upgrade us, we can chose where we will sit on the airplane of life. And in life flying first class isn't all about money. It is about experience, our own attitude, and gratitude. We can create our own first class experience.

Begin to think about what it would look like for you to personally have a first class life. This will be different for everybody. What is first class for one person might not be for another. Whatever represents first class to you is what you should create and know you deserve in your life. That can include extreme self-care, strong supportive relationships and a supportive environment. Whatever first class means to you in your life, begin to make that happen. Not just on special occasions, but everyday.

Are you flying first class in the airplane of life?
