Overcoming is The Only Option

You were made for this moment.

Life does not weep for you when you miss opportunities. In fact, most people will not weep for you either. The obstacles are not the problem. Unsavory people, are not the problem. These things are a constant presence in the fabric of our lives. Overcoming in spite of these things is the mindset that is required.

If that is difficult to get your mind wrapped around then the next best step is to get help. Life's challenges are going to continue to come. So, let me remind you of something that you probably don't thing a lot about. You were made for this moment!

Made for This Moment

This is true, indeed. So, how can today look different than yesterday. How about this? Try new resources that bring about a different perspective.

As a Professional Coach I can not help you with problems or your resources but together we can do something better. We can help you find the perspective you need to overcome those challenges.

Take a look through this blog. There are some fantastic ideas about being better, planning, finding your vision and understanding the most meaningful things in your life. However, the ingredient you need to get these things all working together, is to discover a higher perspective.

Think of your perspective as something that is formed through critical thinking. Professional Coaching isn't designed to solve problems, although that is a common result. It actually is a skill that aids in mining out the internal values and resources that we rarely have in the forefront of our daily thought process. That is critical thinking!

Since these things are not in our daily thinking we have a tendency to forget them and we make decisions that are contrary to our core beliefs. The inevitable results are a lack of fulfillment or at worse, complete disappointment and frustration.

Critical Thinking 1
Disciplined thinking that is clear, rational, open-minded, and informed by evidence.
Perspective 2
1. A way of regarding situations, facts, etc, and judging their relative importance
2. The proper or accurate point of view or the ability to see it; objectivity.

Good Thinking, Great Thinking

Good thinking produces good results. Great thinking produces great and wonderful results. Do I need to expound on bad thinking? Not really but can you see that your thinking today is your result tomorrow. Critical thinking mines out details that inform a new perspective which drives quality thinking moving forward. Now that's cool!

Time is going to pass. Take a moment to look forward 20 years. Does that put at 40 years old? 45? 50? Take a second to really zero in on that time. What would you like to see?

What does that look like if you continue forward with your current approach?

If this is unclear or not so good, then be sure to get help. Look at your family, your career, your friends, your dreams and say, "I can make the change that will impact all of this!"

Find a Professional Coach to build a relationship with. I'm a coach! I would be honored for you chose me to come alongside you for a season.

A coach is going care about you more than you know and work hard to put a turbo on your development for personal, relational, and vocational goals. They will help you clarify, broaden and understand your values and your personal vision. They will help you to expose obstacles that prevent you from succeeding.

You were made for this moment. So, step up and get the thinking and perspective that it's going to take to overcome.

Vocabulary | A Reflection of Who We Are

Image
What do I say and how should I say it? Vocabulary is a reflection of who we are, but not necessarily who we want to be. It informs our vision of life and oppresses it or sets it free. Addressing our vocabulary isn't necessarily a moral work. It's a creative work! With a quick Google search you can find articles telling us, that it's the really smart people who use curse words in their daily conversation but I don't think that's true. It's more likely a lack of creativity. The smartest person in the room is not the guy/gal spewing profanities. It's the person with a "higher" word stock that breathes creativity and inspiring thoughts that builds themselves and others up. Bad verbiage is rarely inspirational. It may be functional, but don't we have a vision of our life that is more than functional? You bet, we do! Lazy Is As Lazy Does We see in comedy, the lazy comedian goes right at the vile and vulgar to get the laughs. The tho

Laugh A Little

What is your humor quotient? I'm sure you have heard it said that laughter is the best medicine. If that is true then, maybe we can self prescribe a few big laughs. Bad thinking, that can lead to depression, confusion, self pity, frustration, etc. is all antithetical to moving forward. Humor is the skill. Laughter is the healing. There are dozens of phrases that express the vitality of laughter. Here are a few for fun: There is little success where there is little laughter. - Andrew Carnegie 1   Laughter and joy are part of the beauty of life.  - Diogo Morgado 1   Comedy is defiance. It's a snort of contempt in the face of fear and anxiety. And it's the laughter that allows hope to creep back on the inhale.   - Will Durst 1   As soap is to the body, so laughter is to the soul.   - A Jewish Proverb 2   Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.   - Mark Twain 2   He that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.   - Prover

A Season of Pruning

Image
What's that dead weight you're carrying around? Things just seem to unknowingly latch on to us while we live our lives. It could be that sitcom we can't get up from binge watching. Maybe it's a relationship that doesn't seem to have boundaries. If we actually take a real close look at the flow of our week, I'll bet we could identify a few things that are dead weight and need to be pruned. Reasons to prune plants include deadwood removal, shaping (by controlling or redirecting growth), improving or sustaining health. - Wikipedia | Pruning There may even be a few things that are important enough not to stop doing, but maybe we can manage them better or realign them? A good coach will ask the question, "what are you tolerating?" Take a second to think about that. What in the world are you tolerating that needs to be eliminated, minimized, managed or realigned? We want to be able to manage a harmonious journey for the things that are in our c
