I was lucky enough to see Mary Poppins at the theatre recently and as I enjoyed the show and listened to the lyrics it struck me that Mary’s advice for life is exactly the essence of what us coaches discuss with our clients. 

So for my last blog of the year I want to share the brilliant lyrics from Mary Poppins’ Anything Can Happen If You Let It. 

Anything can happen if you let it

Sometimes things are difficult but you can bet it

Doesn't have to be so

Changes can be made

You can move a mountain if you use a larger spade.

Anything can happen it's a marvel

You can be a butterfly

Or just stay larvel

Stretch your mind beyond fantastic

Dreams are made of strong elastic

Take some sound advice and don't forget it

Anything can happen if you let it.

I wonder

Anything can happen if you let it

You won't know a challenge until you've met it

Noone does it for you

Noone but yourself

Vascillating violets get left up on the shelf

Anything can happen just imagine

That should be my epitaph

I wear the badge in

Honour of this world's free thinkers

Those who see beyond their blinkers

Jelly isn't jelly 'til you set it

Anything can happen if you let it.

Anything can happen if you let it

What good is a whistle

Unless you wet it

Broaden your horizons

Open different doors

You may find a you there that you never knew was yours

Anything can happen, raise the curtain

Things you thought impossible will soon seem certain

Though at first it may sound clownish

See the world more upside-downish

Turn it on it's head then pirouette it

Anything can happen if you let it.

If you reach for the stars

All you get are the stars

But we've found a whole new spin

If you reach for the heavens

You get the stars thrown in.

If you reach for the stars

All you get are the stars

But we've found a whole new spin

If you reach for the heavens

You get the stars thrown in.

Anything can happen if you let it

Life is out there waiting so go and get it

Grab it by the collar

Seize it by the scruff

Once you've started living life

You just can't get enough

Anything can happen it's official

You can choose the super or the superficial

Sally forth the way we're steering

Obstacles start disappearing

Go and chase your dreams you won't regret it

Anything can happen

Anything can happen

Anything can happen

If you let it.
