"Let’s Climb Together"
Frustration Creates Dreams
After five years as a life coach, I can safely say that my business is
built on peoples frustrations. People are frustrated with their
dead end jobs, lousy significant others, dwindling personal
finances and so much more. Literally, clients walk through
my doors ready to rip out their hair because life stressors
are getting the best of them. It is when they’ve reached
their breaking point that we can turn those frustrations into
something meaningful.
One thing about life is, you only get one chance to get it right.
While there are many opportunities to start over you still only
have one life so utilize all strategies possible to make it the
best.
With my clients, I work on special skills that enable them to
turn specific frustrations into the manifestation of dreams.
For these methods to work the specific frustration, on which
we work, must be rooted in something that can become
tangible. For example, let’s say you’re growing awfully tired of
your unreasonable work demands. Your hours aren’t flexible
enough to give you quality time with your children and the
work simply isn’t as rewarding as you thought it might be.
The job also obstructs your ability to nurture a genuine desire
to open your own business. Just the idea of talking about a
small business start-up can be scary, but what could possibly
be scarier than spending the rest of your life in a dead end
job.
The first thing that I teach is that life is about choices. You
can decide to stay stagnant or you can chart your own course.
I’m sure you know what I recommend. Once you begin to
understand that life Is simply an assemblage of your choices,
you will start to make ones that are in your best interest. They
will also be decisions that move you away from anything that
causes you stress and frustration. Next we begin to formulate
a plan. It is in this moment that your choices become linked to
your dreams and that’s pure magic. Your plan can be anything
from a business plan or an escape plan; it’s whatever your life
requires, but it’s the creation of the plan that breaks down
the barriers and relieves the frustration. In the end, I teach
actionable steps. Approach the bank to start your business.
Join the gym. Take a step in the direction of your dreams and
you’ll be amazed at how much better you feel.
Let me tell you a secret. Nothing is able to stop you from
building the life and the business that you desire. You must
be willing to make the investment and the sacrifice for your
success. It is never sufficient to depend on your dreams being
fulfilled by others. What I have learned and mastered is that
you can bring your own dream to life if you first believe. The
work may not be easy, but If you continue to pursue reaching
your goals, the hard work will pay off.
In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, “By acting as if I was not
afraid, I gradually ceased to be afraid.” When you define your
dreams, you will find the greatest gift in your life.
