Goals, Dreams and Knowing Thyself

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy,
not on fighting the old but building the new.
 - Socrates

When I was young, I was aimless, a leaf blowing in the wind. Goals seemed elusive to me like clouds in the sky that form and disappear.  It was easy to blame it on others, like my parents. But when I decided to stop the blame game and become accountable for my actions, I changed. I took life in my own hands and started working with it to craft my own course. I went from powerless to sovereign, from victim to creator.

The struggle you are in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.

Having a goal, starts with a dream, a desire, a wish, perhaps a tickle in the back of one’s mind. And some people, see their goal and know without a doubt, that is what they are meant to achieve and put all their muscle into making it a reality. Other people, need to discover their goals. It’s a little trickier for them. I am one of those people. I had been told “No” so many times while growing up, I had to learn as an adult to say “Yes” to myself.
​

Success is no accident: it takes perseverance, learning, sacrifice
and most of all, love of what you are doing. - Pele
​

​Deciding on a goal is an affair of the heart. I say this because it takes a lot of work and time to achieve one’s objective. So one needs to stay motivated, even when the chips are down. A goal needs to be meaningful to you. Your goal needs to be aligned with your heart, your passions, and your values so that you will very naturally want to overcome obstacles as you work towards your Dream Come True. When our goals are aligned with our integrity, that which makes us whole, then moving towards them becomes something we are willing to be engaged with, even when the going gets tough.

What is Coaching?

   Coaching facilitates change.


Change happens all the time. Change is the only constant in life. Sometimes, we are the creators of change within our homes, our careers, our relationships.  And sometimes, change just happens, like when someone we love dies, or decides to break up with us, or our jobs suddenly disappear. Changes that come from outside of us, can feel really devastating.  Some changes can feel exciting, especially in the beginning and it’s pretty common that before too long the demons of fear, self doubt, the challenge of “how to make this happen” creep in and one is rendered frozen, not knowing how to move ahead.

   Coaching helps clients overcome challenges.

Coaching is typically thought of as getting help in reaching a goal. But sometimes one doesn’t know what that goal is. Sometimes the goal doesn’t align with the desires of the heart. During the Martha Beck Life Coach Training, I learned how to find and follow the compass of the heart. Moving forward is a lot easier if mind, heart and body are aligned.

   Coaching facilitates growth.

We don’t grow when things are easy. We grow when we are challenged. Sometimes, it’s hard to see the steps we need to take to make our dreams come true. Figuring out those steps are part of the process. And then, as we try things out, they don’t always work out. Things don’t go as planned. Nobody tells us that this is common, this is normal. That having failures is part of our growth, part of our story of success.

Having a coach is having a guide, sometimes a cheerleader to take us through the labyrinth of the journey forward in one’s life helping one to determine one’s goals, one’s steps as well as being supported in the struggles along the way. Coaches are partners in the journey of life. And you, the client are center stage.
