It’s important to keep in mind that working with a Life Coach is no indication that your life is in turmoil or you are broken in any way.

Working with a Life Coach is like going to the gym. It keeps you working your muscles, improves your endurance, and puts you in the healthiest state possible.

Let’s find inspiration in our accomplishments. By acknowledging the distance we’ve already traveled, we can enjoy our arrival, appreciate the efforts made to get there, and map out a deliberate travel plan for the next leg of our journey.

Get this…when we’re born we like ourselves. We have no negative self-talk. In other words, we’re not pulled from our mother’s womb apologetic for having taken 22 hours to make our way down the birth canal. We don’t chastise ourselves if we drip placenta on the doctor’s shoes.

This is our birthright… to be who we are. To not make life decisions based on the level of approval we get from others. What kind of a life would open up for us if we could do that? Think about it.

A teacher of mine once told me that the difference between being brave and being a hero is that a brave person will enter a burning building to rescue a baby, while a hero will enter a burning building to rescue a baby … and never tell anyone about it. That leads me to believe that true heroism defies ego.
