You've made it! You not only can see the light at the end of the tunnel - you're actually basking in it! All your hard work has come to fruition! You've reached the fifth stage of success - culmination. But is this the end of the story?

The truth about culmination is that it's much more of a beginning than an ending. Culmination is that moment in which you realize that things are really pulling together, and for my clients - they pull together better than they ever dreamed! Sometimes it's described as unbelievable synchronicity. The last piece falls into place, and the puzzle transforms to a three dimensional window that invites you to climb through and stand in the beauty of what you've created.

How do you know when you've reached this stage? You experience a defining moment -- a pivotal occurrence which moves your life in a completely different direction, because a truth has been revealed to you.

There are three kinds of defining moments: character, in which you learn a lesson that helps shape your character; destiny, in which you discover something you are meant to do, be or have; and finally, soul, in which you glimpse the real you behind the reality of your physical being.

What have been the defining moments of your life? By studying them, you'll realize they usually come at a critical juncture in your life -- often with the culmination of a goal or dream.
