Here’s a great example of how one person can impact a whole group of people just by passionately doing his own thing in the world. His thing may not be “your thing”, but use this as an inspiration to courageously get out there and do your thing!

Life coaches are having a different kind of conversation with people, one designed to help you be present and live a fulfilling and balanced life. In order to do that, coaches often say and do weird things:

1. Ask you what you really want. Most people have no idea what they really want. What do you really want?
2. Celebrate your failures. Congratulations! You just found one more way that it doesn’t work. What did you learn and what do you want to do now?
3. Encourage you to feel your feelings rather than run from them, hide them or fix them.
4. Ask you to check in with your body. You’ve got a body and it has wisdom. It’s time to listen.
5. Ask you to explore different perspectives. It may not always feel like it, but you always have choices. What are you choosing?
6. Celebrate your successes. This is actually harder for most people than celebrating their failures. Stop for a minute and bask in the glow of your brilliance. You deserve it!
7. Challenge your limiting beliefs. A coach specifically listens for what you are saying and what you are not saying. You may have beliefs or rules that you make up but that aren’t necessarily true. Your coach will bring these things to your awareness.
8. Follow the path of most resistance. A coach might ask you, “What don’t you want me to know about this?” There is a lot of learning and a lot of freedom in exploring the things you hide.
9. Interrupt your stories. While most coaches love a good story, they really want to know “what’s the point?” Who you are and who you are becoming are even more interesting than your stories.
10. Hold you as creative, resourceful and whole. You are not broken and you do not need to be fixed. You are capable of dealing with everything in your life and you hold the answers. Your coach believes in you even more than you believe in yourself. You can do it! You are destined for greatness!
