Why I Moved From 'WHAT'S PAINING YOU?' To 'WHAT'S POSSIBLE?'

I started out doing deep healing work with clients.

I helped them to heal from trauma and chronic stress.

It was powerful work and I will never regret training in that domain.

But I got tired of it.

It no longer lit me up.

People can be very attached to their pain. They fear giving it up because it has become so much a part of their identity.

The change can feel too scary for their unconscious mind even if they want the change.

That's not the case for everyone of course. A good, firm coach can help them to recognize their attachment and shift out of it.

But without that awareness gain, they will stay stuck. As a society we are encouraged to hold on to our suffering.

It keeps the pharmaceutical industry in business.

But there is one thing that MASSIVELY helps and I'm convinced it's the answer.

It's the power of a COMPELLING VISION that fires you up.

An exciting vision that you are actively focused on allows little time to ponder much else.

AN EXCITING VISION HEALS.

I started watching the Arnold docuseries last night. He has a super interesting story.

Schwarzenegger didn't have an easy upbringing at all. It drove his brother to drink and he sadly died in an accident whilst driving drunk.

Arnold shares in the docuseries how he believes that his compelling vision saved him from being self-destructive.

He quotes Nietzsche who said 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.

But that's something that we need to choose ourselves. We can use our pain as power to fuel us or we can let it destroy us.

Choosing a purpose-filled life where you feel FIRED-UP about your vision is the answer.

I'm not saying that therapy and healing don't have their place. They do.

But if you are busy creating a future that excites you and it makes you happy, you wont have time to dwell on negativity.

You wont have time to indulge in anger and resentment.

You wont have reason to blame anyone. There is nothing to blame them for when your life is working.

Going after a compelling vision does come with sacrifices. If it were so easy, many more people would choose it. But when you have faith in your ability to achieve your vision, those sacrifices come easy.

If you develop the discipline and do the hard work, you will reap the rewards of that - and no one can take that away from you. You’ll feel an enormous sense of pride and fulfillment.

That’s why I am so passionate about coaching. Good coaching helps people to identify what they want and to achieve it.
