MEANINGFUL LIFE COACHING

“You know, there are two good things in life, freedom of thought and freedom of action.” by W. Somerset Maugham.

This is an amazing and powerful quote that everyone should stop and really think about.  There’s nothing better than having your own freedom in your life.  This can be accomplished by taking action and learning to manifest your life to its fullest potential.  One shouldn’t have to put their needs, goals, and dreams aside simply because you don’t think they’re important or worth the chance of coming true.  This concept that your dreams are never going to come true and it’s best to stick with reality, whatever that reality might be, is the easiest way out of taking responsibility for your life.  It’s so easy to just give up rather than have a strong soul that can guide you to your dreams.  This path is a harder path to travel through, but the only path that can lead you to true freedom that you deserve.

It’s difficult to try to be strong in a society that advertises so much negativity.  For example, this negativity can even be found within your own family or close friends.  People, in general, that just say you can’t do something, it’s out of your reach, quit living in the clouds and come back to reality, all these comments get ingrained strongly in your mind and ultimately you fall for it and believe these comments.  People must be strong in blocking out negativity in order to have self-value, spiritual-awareness, and self-worth.  This isn’t an easy task to do, because in this society we have been brought up to listen to other people’s opinions and not question them.  You must learn and make a wise decision and differentiate between what to block out and what to not.  If someone says you can’t do that, simply because they have no faith in you well this is where your inner strength is able to shine and prove them wrong.

Unexpected life changes. Anticipated transitions. Long, sleepless nights. What do these three things have in common? The ability to provoke one of the most haunting questions in the library of human introspective:

“What on earth am I going to do with the rest of my life?”

While I can’t answer this question for anyone other than myself, I can offer those in this position some basic tips on how to ensure that their future turns out as bright as their class valedictorian said it would be.

Below are five questions that everybody should ask themself before starting out on any new path. The answers to these questions should then be used to guide decisions and to direct actions – when a choice comes up, simply compare the various options with your stated desires and choose the option that takes you closer to (or at least moves you the least farthest away from) your destination – your stated goals and desires.

1.         What does success mean to me?

Be very specific. “I want to be rich,” is not an answer – just what does “rich” mean, anyway? Are you thinking of a set number? And if so, why? Or is the term “rich” a substitute for certain freedoms and opportunities that you view as coming only with money – and by limiting them to being accessed only through money, are you missing out on other alternative pathways?

Some more specific alternatives to “I want to be rich,” depending on the individual, might be: “I want to have enough net income to meet my current financial responsibilities without strain, plus have time and money left over for travel,” or “I want to be able to comfortably afford a jet-setting lifestyle in New York City,” or “I want to spend 4 days a week at home with my kids,” etc.

One of the biggest obstacles to success is that most of us have never consciously explored what that means to us, aside from some vague and nebulous idea of fame, fortune or other worldly success. Knowing what success really means to you – what you hope or imagine that these generic definitions of success would actually provide and how you want those things to physically look like in your life – allows you to weigh your choices more accurately.

2.         What are my non-negotiable needs?

List all the things that you envision as inescapable parameters of a successful and enjoyable life. Family, travel, no debt, pleasant work environment, social status, contributions to society, spiritual involvement, public acclaim, love, excitement, comfort – any or all of these, and any others you can think of are legitimate needs that when not met create an environment of stress, want and disempowerment in your life. Knowing what you are not willing to do without makes the relative values of different options clearer.

3.         What are my non-negotiable boundaries?

List all the things that you absolutely do not want present in your life. If the idea of working in a standard hierarchical office environment makes you ill, put that down. If you can’t stand the thought of living in a cold climate, add that to the list. If being poked fun at about your physical condition or other attributes makes life unlivable, note that as well. By knowing what you will not tolerate, many choices become much easier to make. Plus, it allows you to set down rules and policies about who and what you will invite into your life and the standards of behavior you will, and will not, tolerate.

4.         What are my key values?

Spend some time searching your soul to come up with a list of your basic values, creating a life around which would make you the person you want to be and allow you to live the life you want to live. Are you the type who values honesty, clean/green living, and a deep love of nature above all things? Or are you more of a ‘comfort of home’, family and fun kind of person? Do you value charity over letting others find their way on their own, or is it the other way around? Knowing what you truly stand for is a vital component of good decision-making.

5.         What do I want to be remembered for?

What legacy do you want to leave here when you pass on? What do you want people to say about your life and you as a person? What do you want to be known for? What would you like your obituary to say about you? Knowing where you want to end up makes choosing the path to get there, and keeping track of your progress, infinitely easier.

Finally, remember that the concept of manifestation can teach you everything you need to know about living your dream and not wishing to be able to live your dreams.  Manifestation can change your life to a more positive life that’s worth living.  You’ll be able to have all the qualities that you’ve always had but never practiced.  Being a positive person that thinks positively and avoids negative energies is a person that has learned to manifest their life and practices manifestation daily.  You too can be part of this positive circle of energy.  Live the life you want to live, after all you deserve the very best.  As mentioned in the quote above, freedom is the most important thing in everyone’s life.  If you would like to seek this and much more, then manifestation is the answer to your dreams which could be your reality.
