Breakthrough Life Coach for Women's Issues

I received a card from a friend that really touched me. It’s not the first card I have received from this friend, I call Evie. Evie likes to reach out and touch with a card. She seems to have a real knack for knowing when to send a card and how to say the exact thing to encourage and lift your spirit. This particular card seemed to hit a real soft spot with me and was just the word I needed to hear.

A card may seem like a very small thing to send but its impact can be huge nonetheless. Just a few words of thanks or expressions of kindness mean so much. They really do warm the heart; and in a world where real connection with people seems harder and harder to achieve, how we need more people like my friend, Evie and definitely more cards!

It seems most very day when you turn on the news there is some kind of bad news. Our economy seems out of control and so do people. Not too long ago, in a town not too far from me, a man walks into a nursing home and killed eight elderly people. Who does those kinds of things and what has gone wrong with our world? It’s one thing to have anger and even rage and quite another to let that anger and rage get so out of control that innocent lives are destroyed.

Most of us do want to be happy. The problem is that we are often waiting for someone or some event to happen to make us feel better. I find that true for many of my coaching clients. They seem to be stuck and often feel powerless over situations. Very often they have bought into the lie that a person, a relationship or some external situation is responsible for their happiness or lack of it. If they are unhappy it is because someone else or an event or circumstance is to blame for their lot or predicament. A person that thinks this way severely limits their options in life.

One important coaching principle that I talk with my clients about is the idea of de-cluttering your life. To make room for new things and even the dreams that we have, we often need to de-clutter our physical, emotional and mental environments. What do I mean? I am really talking about getting rid of the things that clutter our physical, emotional and mental space and keep us from being productive and moving forward with our goals and dreams. What is standing in the way of your dreams or projects? Could it be a messy or cluttered physical space? It is very difficult to work or be creative on top of your kitchen counter. It is also hard to move forward when you are bogged down mentally with too many distractions or you are just too physically tired or drained emotionally. I find that If you want to accomplish goals or dreams you have to make room for them in many areas of life.

Many years ago, James Allen wrote the very popular book, “As A Man Thinketh.” In this book he states, “All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.” That’s a very powerful statement! According to Allen, where we are in life is in direct proportion to our thoughts. So if you have a question about your progress in life maybe you should ask yourself what are my thoughts like?
