Many of us are faced with the challenge of choosing how to move forward. The lucky few are able to see a way, the rest of us are left hanging in limbo or plagued by frustration. We all wish for an easier way, a simpler answer, a guide or instruction booklet. Why is it that we have this need? Why do we feel cheated when things don't work out? There seems to be the perspective that we will get what we expect or we deserve certain results.

Now I'm not one to go shouting life's not fair. I truly b...

Without support there are more severe limitations, or let's say challenges to confront. For instance, having different values to your family. What keeps you going when there's no steam in your engine? Who's to say? Not that it's impossible to push forward and form a new support network, but what do you do with the conflict you're experiencing feeling the need for external support and it's not coming from the source you want it to?

So honestly, what is the point of Life Coaching? That's all people ask me. What can I say? That it's not like counselling or consulting... really to the point, thanks. So why would anyone want a life coach? "I don't have a problem."; "So you think there's something wrong with me?" That's all people seem to think. It's like they think "life" and think "it's about me", then they think "coach" and they think "problem, bad". What the hell. Is everyone, seriously every person, thinking firstly of ...
