Life’s Golden Ticket

/in , , /by

In Brendon Burchard’s inspirational novel, Life’s Golden Ticket, he talks about this particular character who’s life isn’t going too well.  His business is falling apart, his relationship with his Fiance, (who he loves deeply) is on it’s last leg, and he’s financially struggling.

I think it’s a fair assessment to say that in some aspect we can all relate to this character.  And because of this I would like to share the rest of this story with you.  (I will do my best to reenact.)
The Lion Tamer

So the story continues with this character going to an Amusement Park. While at the Park, he somehow gets thrown into a Lion Cage.  Now he’s obviously freaking out and doesn’t understand what’s happening.  He looks up and he sees a Lion Tamer perched up high on a red box.As he’s trying to make sense of it all he realizes the Lion Tamer is releasing Lions into the Cage.  Now he’s really, really, flipping out.  The Lions are getting closer and closer – they can smell his FEAR!

Now the Lions start swatting and pouncing on him.  He’s laying there in a fetal position trying to protect himself and he’s thinking, “This is it, this is the end of my life.” Then all of a sudden the Lions just stop.  They get off of him and start walking away.  He can’t believe it.Dazed and confused, he stands up, looks around and he sees the Lion Tamer again.  He thinks to himself, “I wonder what made him call the Lions off.”  As he turns his head to watch the last of the Lions walking away, he sees his Fiance at the other end of the cage.  He realizes the Lions left him to go and attack her!

At this point, something takes over and he musters up all the strength he has and runs towards the Lions and starts yelling at them, “Get Back, Get Back” as he’s pushing them back as hard as he can.  He can’t believe it.  He has no idea where this strength is coming from, but it’s working.

As the Lions are walking away he goes to get his Fiance, but he can’t find her.  She’s nowhere to be found.  Was she just a vision?  Dazed and confused once more, he again looks up to the Lion Tamer and the the Lion Tamer says:

“You Finally Found Something Worth Fighting For!”

The morale of the story is sometimes we need something worth fighting for to change the course of our life.  To make the difference for us. Especially when we may feel that our life is not going so well.

So the question for you Dear Friend is:

What’s worth fighting for in your life?

Sometimes when life feels out of balance and uncertain we need to be reminded that we all have something deep within that’s worth fighting for.  My coaching programs are designed to help you do just that.  To learn more, CLICK HERE.

Sharing The Love

/in , , /by

Whenever a client reaches their goal…well, it’s like a mini “Love Fest” breaks out.  They get all excited, I get all happy and overjoyed, it’s a great feeling!

 

Peggy's Empty Storage Unit
Sharing The Love
My client Peggy set out on a mission.  And that mission was to empty the contents of her 9×10 storage unit and finally be free.  Free to keep only what was necessary and mainstream back into her life and say no and good-bye to the rest.

Now mind you, when Peggy first called me she was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t know where to begin or how to start.  Initially she didn’t even believe it was possible.

Ah, but the POWER OF COACHING! 

Peggy and I met in our weekly telephone sessions and devised a plan.  One that felt realistic, manageable and doable. Together we set an agenda, created next steps, and devised a schedule.

She stayed committed to the process and was 100% on board with being held accountable. Was it always easy?  No of course not!  But that’s the awesome part of being coached.  Coaching provides you with a mentor to help you get through it, cheering you on all the way.  Reminding you that yes, yes, you can do it!

As Peggy so beautifully put it…

“Instruction is wonderful, but encouragement brings it to life!”

So here’s to Peggy and all her hard work…

Peggy, you are simply AMAZING!

Friendship Blessing

What a gift to have such a Friendship Blessing!

Holding Hands

“But oh, the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearless on any subject; with whom one’s deepest as well as one’s most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely.

Oh, the comfort – the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person – having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

A Lesson In Life

A Lesson In Life

Whenever my mom would came across reading material she found meaningful enough to share, she would clip it out and save it until the time was appropriate.

It’s one of the many things I loved about her.

I speak in past tense because my mom suffers from an awful disease that we call “Alzheimer’s.” 

It has robbed her memory, changed her quality of life and invaded her privacy.  For this, I am grief stricken.  It is a disease that affects all – all that choose to love and support her.

It has been over a year now that I have carried around this beautiful message – A Lesson In Life .  I found it while cleaning out my parent’s vacation home.  I now feel a desire to share it with you.

My hope is that you gain inner strength and peace from reading it.

My best always,

Patricia

 

A Lesson In Life

A Lesson In Life

Everything happens for a reason.  Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.  Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them.  For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count.  Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen.  Hold your head up because you have every right to.  Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish.  Create your own life and then go out and live it!

Are You Working With Passion?

/in , , , , , , , /by

Martin Luther King said – “Whatever your life’s work, do it well.”

He went on further to explain that – “A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.”

I believe the point he was trying to stress is that your work should be aligned with your life’s purpose. 

Doing your work “well” is easy if you believe in the value of your occupation and you continue to seek work that you find meaningful.

Unfortunately some of us settle into jobs that we dread waking up each morning to; thus leaving us unhappy and unfulfilled.

Yes, I understand that in these economically challenging times, most of us are fortunate to be working, but I want to challenge you to take that labor of work and turn it into a labor of passion.

Ask yourself;  What can you do right now to gain a new perspective on what you are doing that will bring about passion for you?

Seeking out passion in your current position can provide you with a fresh perspective and clear out the cob webs of confusion.  Your new found passion can create sparks for future creativity, which can ultimately lead you closer to your life’s work. 

 

A BEAUTIFUL MESS…

/in /by

Sometimes life is messy and that means our “stuff” gets all mixed up and we can feel out of sorts.

Our perspective on things can change, thus causing us to feel somewhat disappointed and confused.

And then there comes a time when maybe, just maybe, we catch a glimpse of no matter how things appear to be, it’s simply our beautiful mess and we accept this is just where we are…

And there’s no shame where we are because it’s “A Beautiful Mess!”
