My Vision for My Coachees

Regardless of who I partner with or what they bring to coaching, I have one vision for all of my coachees. For everyone in my life actually, myself included.

I want everyone to wake up in the morning with a sense of purpose and to go to bed feeling fulfilled.

It’s as simple and as complicated as that!

I truly believe our time here on Earth is too short to let life just happen to us. Of course, it’s important for us to preserve our energy, rest, etc. But even in that state of being, we choose how we spend our time.

That said, one very powerful way we can live a purposeful and fulfilling life is by making conscious choices. This means we make decisions with the full understanding that we create our world through our thoughts, the feelings that come with those thoughts, and the actions we take as a result of those feelings. We trigger the first domino. No one else can push it for us.

Making conscious choices opens up possibilities and opportunities. It’s also fulfilling because when you live life on your terms, your cup stays full. You’re more content and grounded in who you are and what you want.

Now, this is all good in theory, and I would love to wave a magic wand and make this vision come true for everyone, but because we’re all in charge of our own lives, we need to put in the hard work to live consciously in each and every moment. Again, no one can do that for you.

One way to start on this path is to question your thoughts and feelings before you react. Pause and have a conversation with yourself like you would a friend and ask the who, what, why, when, where, and/or how questions to understand yourself better. Remember – unless it’s an emergency, there’s no reason why you can’t take some time to reflect before doing or saying anything.

If it makes you feel any better, I don’t have this down to a science and am constantly working on taking a pause and managing my reactions. We are all in it together...one conscious step at a time.
