Life Success Coaching Model Performs Miracles!
May 5, 2008 · Print This Article
We live in an age where we are bombarded with too much of EVERYTHING; mostly we are hit with too much information. Now the information we are hearing that there is a recession, we are in a supposed economic crisis and doomed to a life of barely survival. In light of all this information overload, telling us that we are doomed and that it will be getting worse - if we achieve anything at all - it is a miracle!
I’ve been listening to John Maxwell on “Developing the Leader within You.” One of the examples he uses describing how leaders become inaffective is the lion and the lion tamer.
The power that the lion tamer has over the lion is confusion and irritation. The reason that the lion tamer holds up a stool in the face of the lion is not because the lion has any fear of the stool - but rather because the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the stool as four separate things. The four legs of the stool confuse the animal until he’s paralyzed (rendered inaffective) with confusion and cannot attak the trainer. All the while the trainer snaps the whip in the face of the lion as a continued source of irritation - thus making the confusion and the paralysis worse.
You - Me - We are are powerful beyond measure, made in the likeness of the creator. It’s amazing how a little bit of powerless confusion can put an amazingly powerful beast into a state of paralyzed confusion. We live a life of quiet desparation, tolerating irritations and “too many things on my plate.” With no burning desire to act as a compass for all the environments of our life we creep through life in paralyzed confusion without realizing our amazing power.
With the confusion removed we are creative, abundant and productive - living in an abundant, fruitful universe.
One of the most powerful things we can do to not participate in this fear filled prophecy of recession is to put every area of our lives in order and remove sources of chronic irritation.
As a Life Success Coach I start by asking questions and having my clients look at the different areas of their life and making a list of the irritations that they are tolerating.
I guide my clients to start with the small irritations and eliminate them.
Does the dust on the furniture bother you? Then dust! Don’t keep walking about being irritated. How about the dishes in the sink? Don’t go to bed until you kitchen sparkles. When you wake up you will be refreshed to see a clear and clean kitchen.
How about this? I just bought a new computer. I didn’t realize until I had it for three months that my cd/dvd drive was not working. I put off dealing with it because I didn’t want to be without my computer if I had to send it back. I REALLY needed to install some software. I tried to make do for another two months. The missing software was starting to seriously affect my productivity.
Finally, taking my own advice, I saw that this was a simple irritation that I was not taking action on. I discovered that I had a feature on my computer that would allow me to chat with Dell’s online tech support. I logged on and described my problem. In less than 15 minutes I had a fully functional disk drive and was installing the software that I had been working without for now a total of 5 months!!
What are you tolerating personally or professionally that when solved could catapult you forward towards the success you’re chasing? Let me invite you to a complimentary session where we can discuss the possibility of unlocking your fully powerful potential. Together we’ll redefine your focus and bring the power back online in your life.
REFUSE to participate in the so called recession. Put the “lion tamer” out of the cage - I can hear you ROAR!
