The 5 Words That Are Ruining Your Life

How would you like to stop feeling like your life isn' tgood enough? (I realize advertisers would go broke if this happened, but it's better for you!) Imagine feeling joyful, whole and complete when you look inrepparttar mirror atrepparttar 123282 end ofrepparttar 123283 day.

What if I showed you how you're consciously creating circumstances and beliefs everyday that give you results you aren't happy with? Would you like to change it?

It's much simpler than you think. It all begins withrepparttar 123284 words you choose to use. By changing what you do and don't say, you'll start to create a much brighter future and more peaceful present right now. I'm going to revealrepparttar 123285 5 words to you that are bringingrepparttar 123286 most stress and frustration into your life. Over time using these words ruins your life by creating a ton of unnecessary mental suffering.

The 5 words I invite you to eliminate from your vocabulary right now are: want, need, can't, should and good enough (okay, these are two words but they're together so lets pretend they're one word for counting's sake. Thanks.).

If you just stopped usingrepparttar 123287 word 'want' you would transform your life beyond belief. Do it for just one day. You're going to be amazed at how many times an hour you (and everyone else) says "I want...."

When you say "I want..." you instantly create a feeling of lack within yourself. In reality you aren't lacking anything, but when you want something you subconsciously believe that you have a hole that can only be filled by getting what you want. This isrepparttar 123288 source of a lot of addictions that cause people to consume too much food, sex, drugs, alcohol, entertainment or whatever their personality has a hankerin' for.

"Need" is an extreme version of 'want.' You don't need anything beyond food, water, shelter, clothing and love. Everything else is icing onrepparttar 123289 cake.

Along these lines it's helpful to remember that more than half ofrepparttar 123290 worlds' population goes to bed hungry every night. So if you think you need a $3,000 HDTV, realize that you would like it but you don't 'need' it.

'Can't' is a limiting belief based on past experience. We all knowrepparttar 123291 past doesn't determine how we create repparttar 123292 present orrepparttar 123293 future, but a lot of us live like it's true. I invite you to re-examine what you think you can't do.

I grew up being told that I couldn't do mechanical things because my brother was labeled asrepparttar 123294 "mechanical one" and I was labeled asrepparttar 123295 "studious" one. In my twenties I finally challenged that belief because I had to in order to take care of myself. Guess what? When I challenged that theory I discovered I could do a lot of things I never tried because I was always told I wouldn't be able to do them.

Remember that you can be or do anything you commit to being or doing. Some things will come more naturally to yoiu than others, but you haverepparttar 123296 power to always be and do your best.

You've probably heardrepparttar 123297 phrase "Stop shoulding all over yourself." 'Should' is a word we use to exert power over ourselves and others through guilt. The funny thing is that we tell ourselves what we 'should' do even more than we do it to other people.

Why Hire a Coach?

Written by JP Meyers


Why would you hire a coach? You don't play competitive sports or run marathons. What could a coach do for you?

Just as amateur and professional athletes who want to further their game work with a coach, business owners, managers and entrepreneurs can also further their game, or business and life, by working with of a professional coach. You can be good, very good at what you do, but there is always better. And to get to better, you need to make changes.

Change doesn't just happen on its own. Change occurs when you take charge and actively work to make these changes. The three key ingredients to change are vision, plan, andrepparttar motivation to make it happen.

Some people go through work and life just existing. They're not unhappy, but they're not really happy either. They aren't very clear about what success, or a great life looks like, much less how to actually achieve it. They lack clear vision,repparttar 123281 ability to conceptualize a goal or ambition. And without a vision, a dream, a goal, a target, they aren't going anywhere.

A good coach asksrepparttar 123282 right questions to find out your values and deepest motivators, to peel backrepparttar 123283 layers to reveal your vision and dreams for an ideal life and work. Even someone who doesn't have a clear-cut vision of where he is headed still has dreams, hidden though they may be. A coach works with you to uncover those hidden dreams and goals and make them a reality, to put a face on them.

Once you have a vision, you need a plan to get there. You now know where you're going, but you aren't quite sure how to get there. A coach works with you to develop a map for your journey: identifyingrepparttar 123284 milestones alongrepparttar 123285 way, clarifyingrepparttar 123286 steps and priorities to reach those milestones, keeping you focused and on track toward each goal, and celebrating allrepparttar 123287 wins as they are achieved. You find that you are not alone on this journey; a coach partners with you every step ofrepparttar 123288 way to help you realize your vision. Your success is your coach's goal.
