The Exquisitely Wise Hire a Life Coach

Someone Else’s LIfe 

As folks used to say, “You have to get a license to own a dog, but you don’t need one to raise a child.”  There are plenty of puppy schools around (where people are trained to be the Alpha dog), and yet too few parenting schools. Finally, however, help and education is now available through numerous parenting classes (offered through your local community education centers or continuing education classes), Parents as Teachers, Nurses for Newborns, books, online courses, etc.  We finally figured out we needed to learn how to parent well from objective, well-informed others, instead of being destined to repeat the helpfulness and horribleness of how Grandma, Grandpa, Ma and Pa parented!  Finally we’re learning how to raise another life.

 Your Life 

What about our own lives?  Isn’t it strange that we haven’t promoted learning

how to raise ourselves throughout life’s cycles?  We don’t teach our young (high school and college students) to really, really consider what will bring them meaning and joy in every area of their lives, now do we?  We teach them how to study, choose a college, get a job, buy a car, etc., yet we don’t encourage them or one another to take a look at the really big overall picture—how to design their whole, “delicious” life.   That is, until we have (or become) a coach!

As adults, it’s exquisitely wise of us to consider getting assistance in “raising” the bar to greatly increase happiness, joy, meaningfulness, satisfaction, life balance, using all our gifts, making a contribution, leaving gentle yet magnificent footprints on the earth, etc.  Consider:

• We probably didn’t have conversations about positive and powerful change and how to make it permanent, in our families of origin.  (Now we can with our coach!)  Coaching is a conversation about change.
• No one drew us a life balance wheel to see which areas were full and robust and which areas needed our creative attention. 
• Who challenged us, inspired us, and kept us moving forward to take all kinds of action steps so that we could reach goals beyond our wildest dreams? 
• Did anyone tell you it takes 90 days to really change an important habit?  Have you had fabulous support in doing so and making it stick?
• Did anyone really want to know what you value most in life, what you’d love to create, or invite you to imagine creating an absolutely “delicious” life?  (This is the antidote to obesity in America, by the way.)
• Was anyone on your side, encouraging you, challenging you to be your most magnificent Self?
• Did you even know you have a Self that it is the best gift in the world to unwrap, understand, and develop?
• Have you wanted to open a business, form a partnership, do something sterling for others in the world?  Wouldn’t you love having someone walk with you every step of the way so that you actually Do IT?!!!
• Was your spirit treated with great respect?  Were you encouraged to live from you Soul and be in resplendent connection with your Source?
• Are you, right now, living fully and completely as you would dare dream?  If not, it’s time to get going!

Well, dear friends, coaches speak this kind of language.  Good ones listen incredibly well to you, to what you want, to how you want to be coached, and they help you get into (and stay in) movement/action.  They help you hold yourself accountable, and they celebrate YOUR inner wisdom about you.  You find yourself having a dual experience:  an inside job and an outside job!   It’s absolutely magnificent what can happen…absolutely magnificent!!! 

It’s kind of like searching for the best diamonds in a huge vat—figuring out how to cut, polish and mount them; then you get to have fun planning where in the world you’ll go to share them with others…as treasures, as products, as pieces of jewelry, as leverage for peace, or to buy water pumps for a village, etc. 

 Your New Life 

Whatever is your Soul’s joy is what we’re after in coaching…and to help you  manifest it in your world and beyond.  You might be astonished to hear the fantastically true and inspiring stories about people who were coached to live their full magnificence!  It’s awesome and amazing what coaching does!

In practical terms, you might hire:  a parenting coach; a career coach; a spiritual coach; a business coach; a car-buying coach; a personal development coach, an internet business-building coach; a stress management coach; a voice coach; a book-selling coach; a wellness coach; or, a life-design coach.  I don’t know which kind of coach you’ll need and want.  However, I do know that with your coach, your chances of building the kind of life you truly and deeply desire—inside and out—are about 80% higher than if you go it alone.  This is why the truly wise among us are hiring coaches by the number.

 

Fortunately, something is sweeping across the world like a refreshing breeze:  people are becoming exquisitely wise, and hiring life coaches.  People of all sizes, ages, shapes, careers, lifestyles, nationalities, couples and singles, are asking themselves, “Is that all there is?”  And usually they follow with, “I want more, and I’m going to make a change!”   Come and be one of the exquisitely wise:  hire your life coach now!
