Life Coach... HELP!
I, myself, do this. I even invest in those who speak into my life. However, I don't think that I have ever wrote on what a life coach is or their importance.
I will say this. If you don't have a life coach, I recommend you find one. Their coaching is life changing! For years, I was groomed to speak into others lives, but to have someone else speaking into mine is a blessing BEYOND words.
As a mentor, you pour so much into others. That's great! But the quest is, who's pouring life back into you?
As a mentor, you give so much. However, if you're not receiving reciprocity for what you give out to others, you won't be pouring out or giving back to others much longer. You cannot pour or give to others what you, yourself, don't have.
Life coaching is a current of reciprocity. Let's define reciprocity. Reciprocity is the mutual exchange of shared ideas from different or similar disciplines, perspectives and experiences.
A life coach is different than a counselor. A life coach is a voluntary practice and participation. They lead, and you follow freely. You pick the investment, books, audios, audience, and time.
You set the budget. It can be a one-on-one meetings in your own space and on your own time. Or you can join a group of people during a set time that vibe like you vibe and tune into your life coach of choice all together.
Life coaches are like personal advisors. They lay out a blueprint of questions, answers and guidance, and you choose to apply what's best for you whenever and wherever you want. The thing about life coaching is you're holding you accountable as they GUIDE you.
A life coach isn't constructed to micromanage you. You're watching you. You're doing the work. You're putting in the time and effort. They did their part. Now, the rest is up to you.
What are you going to do? When are you going to get started? Today? Tomorrow? Never?!
Never won't make the deadline. Never won't accomplish goals. Never won't ever help you reach the pinnacle of success.
The emphasis of every life coach is to never give up. But if you never get up, you will never crossover the finish line or reach the pinnacle of success. After receiving guidance from your life coach, you must then help yourself. If you are applying what is applicable to your life from a life coach, you should see the evidence of their guidance in every area of your life. Your life should change for the best not just the better if you're applying the instructions properly.
