When we get what we truly need, we are fulfilled and happy. After our basic needs for food, shelter and safety, we also want things that aren't ‘things’ at all, such as love, respect and whatever we would consider to be an interest in our lives whether it be stamp collecting or paragliding. That isn’t all though. To be truly fulfilled, each of us feels the urge to grow, to become wiser, more skilled, richer, funnier and so on. We also feel the urge to ‘give back’ in some way, whether in giving charity, or setting up some organization that helps people or simply picking up litter in the street, or greeting others with a smile! We each have our individual ways of fulfilling these needs, and our own path in life to create and follow. Yet we must all satisfy the same needs before we can really feel fulfilled.

But what happens? ‘Life’ can often seem to ‘take over’, and we find ourselves too busy to do anything other than eat, sleep and go to work to make money to pay the bills. Maybe watch a little television to relieve the boredom and frustration. It's unfortunately within our culture to accept this as ‘reality’. If a person wants more than this, they call him ‘a dreamer’ or say ‘she’ll never do it’. So, many of us abandon our dreams, accept the yoke of ‘reality’ and as a result never really live the life we wanted and never really become the person we could have been.

The question you have to ask yourself is:

Do I want to be one of the many who never really ‘make it’ by their own standards, even if they fulfill everyone else’s criteria of success? Or am I unreasonable enough to insist on achieving my dreams - even if I'm not fully sure what they are yet?

Not many people fall into the second category - most people will live, leaving their fulfillment to chance, till the day they die.

If you’re different, then life coaching is for you.

You're here for a purpose. Only you can discover that purpose and only you can fulfil it. When you do, you will finally feel like you've come home.
