Because you are reading this, means that you want to improve your life. You probably know, deep down inside, that you could be more than you are right now. If that weren't true, you would have already stopped reading, but you haven't, so that is the proof that you are looking for, isn't it?
Let's get right down to the point. You have dreams that are always just out of your reach. You almost get there, when something out of the blue, swipes it from you. Other times, you see yourself repeating the same weird pattern over and over again. You may see the same things happen in your relationships, only with a new face, over and over again.
Why do we do this to ourselves? If you knew how to stop the circle, you would wouldn't you?
Of course, but almost everyone needs to be handed a rope to get out of the quick sand. Very few, if any, ever get out on their own.
So what can a life coach do for you?
The real question is what can't a life coach do for you.
A life coach is a person trained to help you to untangle you thoughts patterns, get rid of limiting beliefs that hold you back and adopt new habits that will get you what you want.
Getting what you want is impossible with your current set of beliefs, habits and thoughts. If you change nothing, you will continue to get exactly what you've got. Is that what you want, more of the same?
No, and so that is exactly why you need a life coach. In order to do something different and therefore get new results, you need help seeing what to clean.
How can you be sure what new beliefs you need to make your dreams a reality? How can you know what is holding you back? Which of you thoughts are like the Englishmen in 1490 that believed that the world was flat?
What if you think that the world is flat, so to speak, and you don't even know it? Ah...discovering the truth about you and the world around you is the key to achieving what you know you can.
Think, right now, think about what you really want for yourself.
A life coach can help you get just that. Won't you feel lucky when you get a life coach that will help you get your dreams out of your head and into reality?
Maybe you are like others and want to improve your life. Many, perhaps you too, are longing to change the bad for the good in their life. If you want more out of your life, then take action to get what you deserve. Nobody is going to give you the life of your dreams, YOU need to make your dreams come true.
Often, we don't know how to make our dreams come true. A guide is the best way to lead you to your dreams.
If you want to know if life coaching can help you make your dreams a reality, then you can find out more information at http://sandiegolifecoach.org/. If you are serious about achieving your true potential, remember that life coaching is the map that can get you where you want to be. We look forward to being a part of your journey!

So, just what does a life coach do to help you get personal success, be it at work, in your personal relationships or even overcoming personal weaknesses?
Of utmost importance in you quest for success is discovering why you want what you want. Have you ever known a person that was miserable no matter how many accomplishments they had behind them? Things can't make us happy, so we need to know what the things will do for us really.

You are sure to be hooked on life coaching after a few brief sessions of self discovery with your life coach. And that's a good thing because then your life coach will teach you what to do with your new found insight on yourself.
The key to success is what you do with what you know, so armed with your discovery of what motivates you and what blocks you from success, the real fun begins.
Your life coach will be well trained and armed with many tools to root out totally what is blocking you. There is no 'fight through the pain' philosophy with life coaching. The aim is to make your stumbling blocks vanish through effective life coaching
Having a better life is important to everyone. Everyone has a few things that they would like to either get rid of completely, or at the very least minimize. Many also realize intuitively that they are not realizing their full potential.

The Difference Between a Coach and a Friend
I Would like to "Share" with you an article written by : Don H. Morris
Thankyou Don...
Sometimes potential clients say to a coach, "It seems like if I began coaching with you that I would be hiring you to be my friend. How is a coach different from a friend?"
Although both are characterized by a close and caring bond, there are at least four crucial differences between an ideal coach-client relationship and a friendship.
1. Friends Are Essential, Coaches Are Optional
First of all, friends are essential elements of a satisfied life.
Coaches are strictly optional. Professional coaches are consultants you hire to help you accomplish particular tasks (e.g., to establish goals, to develop action plans, to learn skills, to launch a new venture). You might even choose to hire a coach to assist you with developing more, or richer and more intimate, friendships.
2. Friends Are Long-Term, Coaches Are Short-Term
Friends remain in our lives for long periods, perhaps until one or the other person dies. Coaching is a time-limited, contracted activity. When the client's goals are met, the relationship ends.
3. Friends Share Broadly, Coaches Have a Narrow Focus
Friends share a broad range of interests and activities with each other. The best of friends share on a deep emotional level. While coaches do form warm, supportive relationships with their clients, they are focused on the specific tasks and behaviors the client requests assistance with.
4. Friends Are Personally Involved, Coaches Are Neutral
Many people are fortunate enough to have friends who are both caring and supportive, and who are assertive enough to "tell it like they see it." But friends cannot be counted upon to be uninvolved listeners; they are involved! At other times friends may remain silent out of fear of hurting your feelings. A coach can be a sounding board, and is able to give impartial feedback on your progress toward your goals.
A good friend is a treasure! Cherish your friends. Nurture your relationships with your friends, and enjoy the give and take of these relationships. If, as is true for many people, your friendships are effective in providing the support and encouragement you need to achieve your dreams, count yourself blessed.
There are times when a coach could make a big impact in your life. Consider hiring a coach, though, if any of these are true for you:
1. You feel a need to get more out of your life, and the resources you have on hand are not enough to help you get what you want out of life.
Coaches can help when friends are not enough.
2. You have identified specific skills that will help you enhance your personal and professional life, and you need someone else's help in order to fully develop them.
Coaches can offer expertise friends may not possess.
3. You need the structure a coach can provide in order to work consistently and efficiently at achieving your dreams.
Coaches can help you develop effective action plans and keep you on track in following them.
4. You know from previous efforts to grow in your personal and professional life that you need a person to remind you and ask you about commitments.
Coaches can, when you request it, help you "keep your hand to the plow." Accountability is the chief reason many people hire a coach.
5. You would appreciate and benefit from an impartial person acting as a sounding board.
Coaches have trained their listening skills to a high degree. You can openly discuss new ideas and "think out loud" to a coach without fear of criticism or rejection.
Why not have both friends and a coach?

Blaming Others For Your Problems is Not Your Solution - Take Responsibility For Your Life
Just come across this article By : Liz Rispin about taking responsibilty thought I would take the time to share it with you...
Thankyou LIZ...
Blaming and complaining go hand in hand and appear to have become fashionable habits for a lot of people. They endlessly complain about practically everything - weather, traffic, stock market, politicians, boss, and so on. The chances are that you are also one of them. As Robert Half puts it succinctly - "The search for someone to blame is always successful." What a great way to avoid being responsible by blaming others for your problems, is it?
Complaining prepares the ground for final action - blaming. This provides an escape route from taking responsibility for one's actions. That is the end of the blame game; and the problems remain where they are, or get magnified as time passes while you are busy complaining and blaming. Just think about it: you happily blame others for your failures, why don't you give them credit for your successes too?
Taking ownership of the results of one's actions is a tough thing to do for most people, though it is the wise thing to do. Blaming others is an unhealthy thing as it blocks your personal growth. By blaming others you are giving up the power to change and making yourself subordinate to others.
There is another danger in the habit of blaming others; it soon becomes a breeding ground for other negative tendencies such as holding a grudge, resenting, anger, self pity, etc. All this is cancerous and will slowly eat up your general well being over a period of time.
However, like any other bad habit the habit of complaining and blaming can also be tackled with some efforts. You have to understand that you can't control everything that happens to you or to your life - in fact, no one can. Nevertheless, you can learn to control your reactions to events outside your control. The foremost thing to do is to try to control the urge to complain and, with some practice, you will be able to stop complaining.
Accepting responsibility is the next step - admit whenever you make a mistake; recognize your shortcomings and do something about them; open up yourself to ideas and opinions of others; learn to forgive; and adopt an optimistic outlook towards life. So take responsibility for your life and stop blaming others for your problems.

Take just 2 minutes to check out Personal Development Plus to see how you can improve your life today. You owe it to yourself to take control of your own Personal Development- You'll feel better for it.

The Awakening Process and How to Change Your Mindset
Just come across a good article By: Christine Hoeflich Thought I would take the time to share it with you...
Thankyou Christine...
A few days after I published an article about the subconscious mind and the misconceptions being spread by so-called self-help gurus, I read a message channeled by Mike Quinsey about the awakening process that humanity is currently undergoing. The following is an excerpt:
"...As the energy levels increase, more of you are awakening and seeking your own path to understanding. The truth is there to be found, but not until you are prepared to move beyond the mindset you already have. You cannot accommodate new ideas if your belief system is rigidly held in place. Unfortunately, generations upon generations of families or institutions have passed on their own misguided knowledge in all good faith, but their understanding has been tainted by false teachings. Humans have a way of believing that a majority opinion makes it correct, whereas in spiritual matters it is often quite the opposite. Your best guide in matters affecting your life choices is yourself, and through your intuitive feelings. Trust in yourself, as you have a wealth of experience to call upon that has been acquired over many lifetimes." SaLuSa--channelled by Mike Quinsey, March 29, 2010
What this says to me: As we raise our consciousness (as the collective consciousness increases) we are realizing the need to come up with our own understanding of life. The truth can be found, but only by letting go of many cherished beliefs. (You cannot learn anything new if you already know everything.) Unfortunately, many of the beliefs that have been passed on through history are false, and just because the majority of a population believes something doesn't make it true. Indeed, more often than not religious as well as spiritual beliefs are false (all religions and teachings are filled with distortions). You can access the truth through your intuitive knowing. Connect with your higher self because that inner part of you has been around forever and is connected to the divine.
Here are a couple examples of current beliefs that are most likely fiction, found in my email inbox the day I began this article: 1. Women who take bisphosphonate drugs (those advertised to protect against osteoporosis) are actually increasing their risk of fracture, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (but you'll have to wait before the FDA acknowledges that). 2. Agave "nectar" (the "raw" kind included) is touted to be a healthy, natural alternative to cane sugar, but closer inspection reveals it may be worse than high fructose corn syrup. (I tried it once at Trader Joe's, never touched it again.)
The two examples above are easy to adjust; it's much harder to change your mindset when it comes to older beliefs (which also have been "sold" to you). I can imagine that for most people, it can be disturbing to even contemplate the possibility that the things they held true for so long may not be true at all! How do you deal with something like that?
But--wasn't it Jesus who said that we should aspire to be as young children? And what describes young children better than being open to learning new things?
So where do you begin? How do you start? Well, I do not suggest letting go of your beliefs all at once. I can promise you it will leave you feeling disoriented. Instead, cultivate the attitude that you believed what you believed for valid, even noble reasons and be open to new information that is coming forth in this time of planetary change. (You will discover the reasons as you awaken.)
You do not need to jump into totally new beliefs. In fact you may keep your old beliefs until you become sick and tired of them or are no longer able to reconcile them with reality. At the same time, be open when a new idea that sparks your interest comes into your awareness. Don't fear new ideas; know that the truth (that has--up until now--been hidden) shall set you free. Keep an open mind and view the new spark of information as a possibility. (You are "loosening" the hold that your beliefs have had over you when you do this.) Then check this potential truth against your own inner knowing. The more trust you have in your connection with your higher self (and not some dogma that was passed on to you), the better you can discern the truth.
If it is true, then it should help explain, in a simpler and more elegant way, things that were poorly understood before. If it is true it will be part of an emerging "bigger picture" that makes more sense than the worldview that has been handed down to you. This is how to change your mindset, and connecting with your higher self is what activates this awakening process.

You CAN Change Anything
Just come across a nice article by: Moira Hutchison I just wanted to share with you.
Thankyou Moira...
I am sure that you have come into contact with someone who has reached a certain stage, who are stuck in a mind-set that they will remain single for the rest of their lives. Often, you will hear them say things like "It is too late; I am not going to meet anyone now." The same goes for people who feel that promotion or opportunity has passed them by and now it is just too late.
This is just another form of being held ransom by your psychological fear. It is never too late. I love the quote by George Eliot: "It is never too late to be what you might have been." A client of mine told me once that she really loved to play and be silly - being 65 years was just like being 5 years old to her... she said the only difference was that she had more money!! She certainly did not buy into any ideas of it being too late to do whatever made her feel joyful and happy.
When you make excuses or put your focus upon your perceived blocks, you block positive people and situations from manifesting themselves in your life. These people and situations could bring you unlimited amounts of passion and joy to your soul. The soul is ageless. It is eternal. That is why a lot of people say:
"I really do not feel that old."
In reality, it is your physical body that will age - not your soul. By tapping in to your soul and the power of your spirit that flows through it, you can feel youthful as it brings you energy and vitality to your physical body when you need it most. It comes down to how you approach life as well as how you are taking care of yourself. If you really believe that you are too old - then you know what happens, you just get older.... You really do create what you put your attention on.
I have known many people who do not give in to the whole notion of what you can or cannot do at any age in your life. It is our societal conditioning that dictates how we should act at a certain age.
Here are a few tips on breaking free any beliefs that 'it is too late' or 'I have missed my chance'
Take on an attitude of "It is never too late."
Try something new every day... Find new things that give you joy.
Explore - even if it is just around the block or a wee jaunt down the road.
Believe in yourself.
Do not listen to others if they say things like "You are too old."
If you are passionate about something, you can achieve it!
Associate with people who do rather than say.
Sign up for that evening class you have always wanted to join.
Do not let your excuses hinder your potential to achieve.
Do not live a life of regrets, and become one of those who say: "If only I had..."

Often, you will hear them say things like "It is too late; I am not going to meet anyone now." The same goes for people who feel that promotion or opportunity has passed them by and now it is just too late.
This is just another form of being held ransom by your psychological fear. It is never too late. I love the quote by George Eliot: "It is never too late to be what you might have been." A client of mine told me once that she really loved to play and be silly - being 65 years was just like being 5 years old to her... she said the only difference was that she had more money!! She certainly did not buy into any ideas of it being too late to do whatever made her feel joyful and happy.
When you make excuses or put your focus upon your perceived blocks, you block positive people and situations from manifesting themselves in your life. These people and situations could bring you unlimited amounts of passion and joy to your soul. The soul is ageless. It is eternal. That is why a lot of people say:
"I really do not feel that old."
In reality, it is your physical body that will age - not your soul. By tapping in to your soul and the power of your spirit that flows through it, you can feel youthful as it brings you energy and vitality to your physical body when you need it most. It comes down to how you approach life as well as how you are taking care of yourself. If you really believe that you are too old - then you know what happens, you just get older.... You really do create what you put your attention on.
I have known many people who do not give in to the whole notion of what you can or cannot do at any age in your life. It is our societal conditioning that dictates how we should act at a certain age.
Here are a few tips on breaking free any beliefs that 'it is too late' or 'I have missed my chance'
Take on an attitude of "It is never too late."
Try something new every day... Find new things that give you joy.
Explore - even if it is just around the block or a wee jaunt down the road.
Believe in yourself.
Do not listen to others if they say things like "You are too old."
If you are passionate about something, you can achieve it!
Associate with people who do rather than say.
Sign up for that evening class you have always wanted to join.
Do not let your excuses hinder your potential to achieve.
Do not live a life of regrets, and become one of those who say: "If only I had..."

You Create Your Own Life Experience
By: Derek Felton
"Wherever you are in life, you made an appointment to be there." - Unknown
We tend to blame other people and outside circumstances for our unwanted experiences.
But, when things are going great, we like to stick our chests out and tell to anyone within earshot how we did it. By ourselves. Alone.
I'm the first one to tell you to celebrate your victories and feel good about your accomplishments.
But I also say that we need to take responsibility for the bad things that happen.
When I was two years removed from college and I was making $10.50 per hour I had to blame myself for the decisions I made.
It was on me that I didn't intern in college with a company that potentially could have hired me at a larger salary. It was on me that I was scattered and inconsistent.
For over 5 years I hated going to work everyday. But, that was my fault. I put myself in a position where I had to take what I could get.
I hadn't yet discovered or developed the skills that would allow me to pursue my "life assignment".
If you're in a position where you're truly happy and life is good, I'm proud of you. Keep it up. Be an inspiration to others.
But, if you're not where you want to be - or at least on the path - you need to get movin'!
You have to ask - no, write down - what ACTIONS you must take.
Do you have to go back to school? Do you need a mentor or mastermind group? Do you have to start attending some conferences and networking events?
Do you have to start praying and meditating? Do you need to watch less mindless television and read more self-help books?
If you don't like your circumstances, change them. If you can't change them, change your attitude. But don't complain or blame others for where you are.
If you don't change you'll continue to create an experience that won't produce success.
You, and you alone, are the designer of your life.
Does it look how you want it to?
Your friend,
Derek

Questions About Life Coaching
By: Sharon C Frith
What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is the coaching of a person to identify his weaknesses and rectify them, to make him identify his hidden talents and capabilities and bring them to the open and get them to function in all areas while toning him up mentally and physically to enhance his personality, self confidence, determination and to make him work up to and beyond his full potential to make a habit of setting and achieving new objectives and goals. For this purpose, a coach may extend his services to an individual or a body or a group of persons under specific contracts.
Who needs Life Coaching?
No line can be drawn separating who may need and who may not need a life coach, for life coaches seem to be able to make some improvement in hitherto unimagined ways and areas for almost all who seek their services. This is because unknown to us there are forces within us that prevent us from working to our full capacities and potential. A life coach is trained to identify your weak areas and rectify them and help in numerous ways to transform you to almost a different personality according to your wishes and requirements. If you feel that there are certain aspects in your life that you can never change, such as for example giving up smoking, improving your powers of concentration to sit for a degree course, or even to get over the sleepiness that creeps into you when driving at night, lack of adequate determination and courage to turn your failures into pillars of success, then you certainly need a life coach, and you are sure to benefit from one's services.
What benefits could you gain from Life Coaching?
Life Coaching could improve your skills of communication, motivation and interpersonal relationships. It could enhance your self-confidence and the ability to view things objectively and in different perspectives and gain new insights into various areas hitherto not approached. It can enhance you powers of reasoning and taking quick decisions without fear. The combined effect of all this would ultimately lead to higher productivity, success, contentment and an increased sense of satisfaction in what you do; and in life in general.
What reasons underlie the popularity of Life Coaching?
Several factors have contributed to the recent growing popularity of life coaching, some of which are -
(a) New challenges faced by a growing number of self-employed people in their personal and professional lives as a result of the dramatic increase in small and medium sized business over the last few years.
(b) The increasing number of job opportunities created in the corporate sector, and high competition for some of the more lucrative positions, where everybody tries to have even a slight competitive edge over the other possible contenders.
(c) Most of them believe that life coaching can accomplish for them many successes hitherto unimagined possible.
What reasons prompt people to hire Life Coaches?
Enhancing their prestige value and self-confidence, improving skills of interpersonal relationships and communications, troubleshooting business problems, ability to motivate, set goals and realize objectives, to change over to a different style and environment, to review old attitudes and remodel new attitudes are some of the reasons behind many people hiring life coaches.
Although you feel the need to hire a life coach to bring a lot of improvements over your life, still you may not be certain as to the type of coaching that you really need to actually benefit from hiring one. You may be able to find the answer from some of the coaches themselves at the interviews by calling a few coaches selected from your area through the internet for interviews. An interview is an opportunity to discuss matters with the applicants, and after explaining your problems and requirements in details to each applicant in turn, you may invite each one of them to come out with their own suggested program of coaching they deem best suited for you to help you realize your objectives. At the interview you would also get more familiar with what the current fees structure is like for different areas and modes of coaching, since the fees too may vary highly according to the areas of expertise of different coaches. You will find that the going rate for business coaches is much higher than for their counterparts handling general life.

Creating a Purposeful Mindset
By: PaTrisha-Anne_Todd
What exactly is a mindset, let alone a purposeful one?
Over the years I've discovered that one's way of thinking is not sufficient to make and sustain productive changes. Thinking alone doesn't make change and that mindset is a frame of mind, a characteristic of a person completely dependent in terms of results on whether or not the person applies themselves to diligently carrying out daily actions to achieve the desired results.
It's paramount to have a purpose in mind, for without a purpose there'd be nothing to celebrate and be joyful about. A purpose lends itself to creating more of whatever you want by default.
A purposeful mindset is achieved by dedicated focus and consistent effort. This process works for both wanted and un-wanted results. That is why it's important to have an optimistic and resolute mindset.
Let's say that it is your desire to become wealthy with great success in your business. To achieve this you'll need to THINK like a successful wealthy business owner and take the action to have your own success.
Be Do Have
Once you have conditioned your mind to focus on your specific goal that's when you'll begin to experience the flow of abundance and prosperity in your life!
Know what your Mindset is thinking about
It's so easy to master your mind and let abundance be part of your everyday lifestyle and a whole lot more fun.
Decide to be purposeful not reckless, or time tardy with no definite of purpose in your daily routine. If you follow a path of uncontrolled behaviour then your subconscious will do what it does best and give you what it believes you have asked for - totally the opposite of what you truly desire. Without realising it you could be pushing away your wealth and business success through unconscious self sabotage, so make an effort and pull your thoughts around to purposeful thinking followed up with definite action. You'll be amazed at how your life will change and as if by magic you'll achieve your goals one by one.
Get Ready For Personal Success
Don't forget to make room in your life for your personal success. You're not alone in this one as the Universe cannot abide an empty space when it could be filled with wonderful and prosperous abundance. So get rid of the clutter in your life, do it with total authority, vigour and vim, in other words decide to become purposeful and direct your energies to sorting space for more productive and prosperous new essentials in your life.
Maintaining A Purposeful Mindset
The trick is to constantly see your desired goals. Visualise what it is you desire, don't be shy only you can see your dreams and only you are the master of your destiny.
Visualisation will accelerate the experience your thinking about. Within your minds eye you'll live out your dreams and be able to fine tune your daily actions towards goal achievement. Whatever your realistic lifestyle currently is you'll be in the best possible position to transform your lifestyle by knowing what needs to be changed and you'll have first hand knowledge on what actions to take to make your dreams a reality.
