Do you ever wish for some direction in life?

Before you can set your course, you first need to ask:

Where am I right now?

&

Where do I want to go?

To find our way on a map we use directions. Directions indicate which way we go.

In order to ensure that we follow a true course, we need to align ourselves to the four cardinal directions of North, East, South and West.

While journeyin

g through life, we need to align ourselves to our true selves. During this journey, we encounter many different roads. Often we arrive at a junction – a fork in the road – and it is not always clear which option to take.

Then we start asking questions: Which road will be better? Is this the right direction? I wonder if this is a safe route? Which way will lead to where I want to go?

But STOP for a minute – we first need to ask:

Where am I now? Where am I going?

Only a few brave people choose to ask these questions - question we often don’t even dare confront. Refusing to confront these important issues in our lives and knowing full well that we are avoiding this painful process of asking, often leads to even more distress, disease and fulfilment.

Life is a journey of decisions – one decision (route) leads to another decision (route)….which leads to yet another, and another, decision.

Although we sometimes stop to consider the wisdom of the decisions we make (routes we take), we should rather consider the consequences of our decisions. In fact, it is the consequences, not the actual decisions, which we live with – consequences that could last a lifetime.

You Always have a choice! YOU CAN CHOOSE!

You choose in which direction you want to direct your life!

No one can or should dictate to you the course of your life.
That is your responsibility and yours only.

This stance requires courage, which is why it is such a challenge…the challenge of deciding which route to take.

“Unless we change our direction, we are likely

to end up where we are headed”

(Old Chinese Proverb)

Along this journey we encounter many risks. These risks open us to a change in direction that can set us on our way to success. If you're brave enough to risk – to temporarily live outside of your comfort zone for a short period of time – you stand a much improved chance of completing the journey.

Remain conscious of your learning with each change you make as you continue along your path.

It is of vital importance that we allow ourselves dedicated time to plot our route. Planning and foresight will dictate how successful and smooth your journey is. You owe it to yourself – that is your responsibility towards yourself.

”Don’t discard your fantasies as merely wishful thinking. Honour them as messages from the deepest part of your being about what you can do and directions you can choose.”

(Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer)

Sometimes we take wrong turns.

What then?

Then you have the choice - once again - to take another turn.

You can decide to adjust the course of your life at any time.
No one can ever take that away from you.
You can decide what you want and pursue it.

It's always YOUR next move.

But before we can plot a reliable course, we first need to orientate and align ourselves to where we are…to who we are.

Andrew Schneider says that purpose "is more than just having a direction. It is about one’s place in the universe. It is the journey of finding that place and being there and living fully whatever that place is. It is your own unique place that nobody else has, had, or will have."

How you could find direction

Even though it is ultimately your responsibility which route you follow, it is again your choice to accept guidance where it is offered. Often we need someone’s guidance to jump-start this process.

As an experienced life-coach I will be able to assist you by asking the right questions and by pointing out particular signposts.

How coaching could offer guidance

Through a process of coaching and asking the appropriate questions, I could explore the appropriate and potential routes with you. Meaningful questions activate the immense power of our subconscious mind. When you ask a question, your subconscious always answers and it draws from unlimited resources and wisdom not directly available to your conscious mind.

When you make a statement, your logical, rational, left-brain affirms what IS. Questions activate your intuitive, creative right brain. That challenges you to discover what might BE and it does so with a sense of wonder.

A place of wonder is where everything and anything is possible, without holding any attachment to the outcome. This could lead you to a position of passionate equanimity.

I will ask you questions that will enable you to define your own answers, while gently prompting you to expand your frame of reference. We will support this process by assisting you to define your own map and to effectively read your own compass along the way.

“... if you let the mind ask its questions, then the heart will rise with the answer.”
