I am currently on a massive adventure with my family: we are seven months into a year-long trip around Australia.

我和家人正在一同展开一场声势浩大的冒险活动：全年畅游澳大利亚，这是其中的第七个月。

Coaching and traveling can bring up the same opportunities to shift long-held beliefs and ways of being.

无论是乘坐马车观光还是一般的旅行，都能为你提供许多机会，让你改变积习的顽信，改换陈旧的生活方式。

When we sit down with a coach of any kind, it is because we want to achieve a particular goal in our lives, be it work, relationships, wellbeing or something else.

当我们坐上一列马车——无论是哪种马车，我们想要的是实现一种心愿，无论这心愿是工作顺遂，广结善缘，生活安康还是其他的心愿。

When we travel, we want to achieve a particular goal, be it experiences, connections, expansion or relaxation¹.

当我们外出旅行的时候，我们想要的是达到某一目标，无论这目标是积累经验，构建人脉，博闻强识还是休闲放松。

When we are travelling, we find ourselves in new places and new spaces, physically² and internally; it is the same with coaching.

在我们的旅行途中，我们会发现自己置身于新的地理位置，也获得了新的心灵空间；乘马车观光亦是如此。

As travelers, we have to look at things in a different way; we need to draw on inner resources -- resources we may not have ever tapped into before. This builds inner confidence in other areas of our lives.

作为旅行者，我们会以不同的方式看待事物；我们要开放自己的内在感官——这些内在感官或可能是我们从未开发过的矿藏。由此，我们能够充实内在的信心，以便应对生活的方方面面。

When we travel, we have to be willing to look at things in a new way, a different way. We need to see things from another perspective and work with what is right in front of us, not with what we hope it to be.

在旅程中，我们应学会用新的，不一样的眼光看待事物。我们应从不同的视角看待事情，接受当下所面对的人和事，而不是沉湎于自己所希冀的幻想之中。

One of the foundations of life coaching is knowing where you are starting from -- what is working in your life and what is not working -- and using that starting point to chart a course to where you need to go.

坐马车旅程也是从人生旅途的某个驿站开始的行程。你要知道自己从哪里出发——你的生活中那些方面顺心如意，那些方面不尽人意——你从这个点出发，向着你必须到达的目的地，开始一段旅程。

As a roaming traveler, you do not have room for extra baggage: extra baggage wears you down emotionally and physically, a weight you do not need. Coaching allows us to uncover baggage we may not even know we have.

作为一个随遇而安的旅人，你无需过多的行装：过重的行李会让你身体劳乏，心灵疲惫，你本可以避开这幅重担。乘着马车旅行，你会发现，原来你背负着许多包袱，自己从未意识到。

When traveling with others (as we are in life), we have to forgive quicker, let go longer and generate compassion³ to ourselves and others, as a group/family dynamic can be as changeable as the wind.

当我们与旁人结伴旅行的时候（正如我们在生命中共同走过一段人生一样），我们应该原谅那些来去匆匆的人，放下独来独往的人，既要爱自己，也要爱他人，因为团队/家庭成员之间的关系和风一样善变。

When we move from one place to another we experience movement: I was in a different place yesterday to where I am today; tomorrow I can be somewhere completely different again.

当我们从一个地方来到另一个地方的时候，我们所体验到的就是无所不在的变动：昨天我曾在一个不同的地方；今天我正在这个地方；明天我会去另一个完全陌生的地方。
