Over the weekend at a dinner conversation with friends I was asked what is a life coach and why does someone need one?
The video that I am sharing is mostly to answer that question and to add that, in my opinion, no one NEEDS a coach. Really. It is as simple of an answer as I can give to anyone. We all can and will live our lives to the best and the fullest of our abilities.
AND YOU CAN DO IT ALONE!
You got all the resources - your intelligence, aliveness, consciousness, wisdom, health and love and there really isn't much more that you need.
AND... if there is a nagging feeling/desire (unrealistic dream like in the video) that you constantly 'hear' as a voice whispering or a sixth sense that you can and something can be different than what it is right now - it is your truth - your intuition - your wisdom speaking to you AND IT IS BEING IGNORED.
WHY?
Because you have tried many times and failed, because it is never going to happen for/to you - it is just too crazy of a dream to even speak it out loud, you don't have x,y,z to do it (not enough) - they can but you can't, they do not understand you, don't hear you and all the victim and villain thinking that is in the way. I know and speak from experience of that mentality and it seems so real!
UNTIL IT'S NOT... When you realize that you still want to do that (whatever it is for you - even to learn singing) you will find a way to create that in your life. And the first step is what can I do differently? What haven't I tried yet? Really slowing down and looking at things/attempts that you have done with honest accountability and testing out something new. For Casey it was hiring a coach and for you it can simply be awareness of your own of something different that you can do relative to what you want.
Where the coach can help you is to see your blind spots and support you with creating new awareness and a system to put it all into action. I know I've been blindfolded my whole life and finally saw all the patterns of repeated behaviours and continue to see them but now it is an invitation to sanity and life lived in reality of what is.
I was so scared of even speaking my dream out loud. I thought that I was too old to study again and become an entrepreneur at the age of 45. My whole life up until then was a search for fulfillment/career that I can enjoy and be driven by. So when I finally stepped onto this path it wasn't for the resources that I had or didn't have to continue my education in becoming a life coach but it was a burning desire within me to see if I can and commit to it. And it is with the help of a coach that I have awakened to the truth of who we are - consciousness and ability to continuously learn through each and every experience.
BUT... there was a phrase that woke me up even before that. As I went back and forth in my mind wondering if I should commit to studying and becoming a working coach and if it is even possible for me, I came upon a phrase in a book that shook me to my core:
"WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REALIZE THAT WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE"
And I didn't want to go without giving it a full shot, without attaching myself to the outcome but holding myself accountable every step of the way and not without the fear but through it.
WHAT DREAM DO YOU HAVE THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE but deep down you know you can do?
