Are you Overdue for Some Changes in Your Life?

Written by Susan Dunn, The EQ Coach


“The Life Coaching professionals atrepparttar Life Coach Clinic helped me beyond measure,” says Dr. J. Jordan, a senior management consultant,” to achieve those overdue changes in my life and providedrepparttar 123672 foundations for successful new directions and personal fulfillment.”

It’s for sure life isn’t static, andrepparttar 123673 one thing we can count on is change, but there’s so much talk these days about difficulty adjusting torepparttar 123674 amount and rate of change these days, have you considered it as an exciting, fulfilling and proactive choice?

I just got offrepparttar 123675 phone with a client in another country who has been asked to do a keynote address to an organizational group. It’s a professional conference for this group, but inrepparttar 123676 coming weeks, many of them are going to be transferred or given packages, as they downsize, a story that’s being played out in many companies aroundrepparttar 123677 world right now. She’s been asked to say something inspirational about change to these individuals who are about to have change forced upon them.

Life Coach Victoria Butterell (http://www.LifeCoachClinic.com ) would have lots to say to a group like this. She knows all aboutrepparttar 123678 positive aspects of change. Not long ago she suffered a near-fatal car crash and was forced to retrain from her former position. “It changed my life,” she says, “and it changed it forrepparttar 123679 better. My car crash was a major wake-up call. I had ignored previous, smaller signs that I needed to change my life. The crash convinced me not to waste another minute of my life and, fundamentally, that I wanted to enable other people to makerepparttar 123680 most of their lives, too.”

TRANSFORMATION

Victoria’s in an ideal position to help people awaken torepparttar 123681 transformational possibilities in change, so much so she now advocates intentional change and helps other people makerepparttar 123682 changes they need and want to, or weatherrepparttar 123683 ones they must.

How about that? While most people are lamentingrepparttar 123684 constantly accelerating pace of change in today’s world, there’s a proactive position to be had: get out there and make change happen. More radical than that, try changing yourself.

Dr. Jordan is one of Victoria Butterell’s former clients, and he now realizesrepparttar 123685 changes created in coaching in his life were “overdue.”

How about you and your life? Are you overdue for a change? Have you thought about it that way?

Life has a way of making us change, when we don’t get active and choose our own changes.

SENIORS REGRET NOT HAVING MORE CHANGES

When people over 65 were asked, in a recent survey, “If you could live your life over, what would you do differently?” they answered:

1.I’d take more time to stop and askrepparttar 123686 big questions. 2.I’d be more courageous and take more risks in work and love. 3.I’d try to live with purpose – to make a difference.

THE CAUSE OF HAPPINESS IS … RISK

The wisdom seniors are sharing gels with recent research findings thatrepparttar 123687 primary ingredient for finding happiness is being willing to RISK. Dr. Jordan, withrepparttar 123688 help of his coach, Victoria, has learned to embrace change.

The Big, Fat Lie... About "Trying Harder!" By Jill Ammon-Wexler, PhD © 2003 by Jill Ammon-Wexler. All Rights Reserved =======================================

You've been searching for a way to improve your life. To make your business more profitable...maybe lose weight and buff up...achieve your personal potential...or perhaps build an MLM downline! In short...to reach an important personal goal!

You're on a meaningful quest! But if you're running into problems...it may come from something you were taught as a child!

Do you remember being told: "Just try harder...you'll get it!"

Well...that advice is actuallyrepparttar 123671 worst possible advice to drill into a child's head. Are you surprised to hear that from a success coach? Then allow me to share a true personal story.

I'm sitting in a screened porch in a peaceful little cabin byrepparttar 123672 shore of Lake Tahoe reading a book. It's a warm late August afternoon. It's very quiet...except for an irritating "buzz-thump."

I look up and see a large fly desperately throwing itself atrepparttar 123673 window atrepparttar 123674 far end ofrepparttar 123675 porch. The fly has staked its life on a doomed strategy: Just try harder...try harder...try harder!

Obviously...the fly's goal seeking behavior is not working! Its efforts hold no hope for success. No matter how hard it throws itself atrepparttar 123676 glass, it can't escape.

I watch and wonder atrepparttar 123677 irony of its situation. The little creature has literally staked its life on reaching its goal through determined raw effort! But its very struggle is a trap!

I look over atrepparttar 123678 open door just a few feet away. A short flight and it could be free. The possibility of a breakthrough was there. It would be so easy. Butrepparttar 123679 fly had made its commitment!
