Firsts take courage, a positive frame, a willingness to face fears and sometimes a little push to get through the door.  There is nothing like the feeling of getting through a first of any kind to give us affirmation that we can do anything.

Let’s look at these ‘firsts’ and see what we can recall  - thoughts, feelings, emotions, what the weather was like, what we wore, who was present – almost a visualization exercise.  If you have not experienced these firsts, get ready to think about what feelings and emotions are going to pop into your mind by simply reading about them.  Face it – these firsts are days that are made for us to live in the moment and overcome our fears.

My First…

…day at school.  What was that like?  Can you remember elementary school?  High School?  Or College/university?  You were ready to show the whole world who you were, what you were made of and started to plan where you were going to go next.  You were excited, apprehensive and even a little happy to be starting this new part of your life.

…my first job interview.  What to say?  How do I dress? Will I have to work here for the rest of my life?  What questions will they ask?  Who will be interviewing me?  Feeling like you aced the interview and then didn’t get the job or just the opposite, feeling that you really blew it and did get the job – what a learning experience!  And who knew you could ask questions in an interview too – next time you will be more prepared for that one.

…date!  OMG!  Talk about a scary time.  To hold hands or not to, what to wear, what to say, how to act?  Dates are where you open yourself up to the biggest part of yourself and others.  Imagine how you felt.  What other event could make you feel this way?  Imagine where this first day could lead – to more dates and a huge future together…or to no more dates, chalking this one up to experience. 

…day at work! WOW! What a challenge in front of you?  Getting to know your boss, your co-workers and maybe even your competition for the next position on the ladder.  Whether it was a job at the local corner store or in that big corporate office, you started to take new steps in new directions.  You shed the parts of yourself that you were not happy with and vowed to be the BEST You you could possibly be.

There will always be more firsts ahead of you – move to a new home, move to a new city, travel to new place, joining a community or professional group, speaking engagement, presentation – the list could go on forever!  Personal growth and development is more urgent today than ever so use this list when a first comes along:

Be prepared:  know time, place, date, how to get there, how to dress, why you are experiencing this ‘first’.
Plan your outlook:  do you need to practice or rehearse?  Do you need to wear something special?  Are you in a positive frame of mind to experience the whole situation? Are you ready to be open and potentially meet new people/circumstances that could change your life?
Practice affirmation:  no matter what the results, you will always learn something.  Look for the positive in the situation.  You are taking a huge step in a new direction – Way to go!  Be proud of yourself and remind yourself how awesome you really are!

Be on your way to many ‘firsts’ – HAPPY FIRST….

Driving Your Life On Its Way To Its Purpose

People live to exist and with existence along comes purpose. It is that one inevitable thing that every one yearns for. It is usually the only thing that is left missing in a lot of people’s lives. That’s why a lot of people now days cease to live their lives, and the main reason is? –They don’t have a purpose to do so.

You may think that finding that sole purpose in life is very much impossible. Then if that’s the case, you better think twice. There are ways to find what you are looking for if you look at the right places. It’s not that easy to find that purpose, but it is possible and having a life purpose coach would be of great help.

Defining Roles

In this kind of coaching program, you are able to sort out your life and seek out your purpose. It won’t be your coach who will find it but of course it would be you, because you are the only one capable of doing that, but you would need your coach to guide you through the process to see a clearer perspective of things.

No Arrows To Lead You

Sometimes you may feel that you are lost. You do daily tasks and activities just out of routine. There’s a big intersection ahead of you and you don’t know which direction to take or pursue.

In situations like these, your coach would be your guiding path. He would let you see the different routes you can take, the pros and cons of each direction and your means of going through that path.

When Everything Gets Stuck

On moments that you feel you are stuck with your life. When all aspects have seem to be successful yet there is no feeling of contentment or fulfillment at all. When you think that there is no more steps to take, your coach will be the one to show you that little extra step you need in finding what you are looking for.

Being Who You Really Are

Purpose is not dictated by the things that you do. Each of us has our own, and this is in our system from the day we are born. Sadly, a lot of factors in our lives are culprits on why it got lost. Factors such as family, peer, social, academic and even media influences us and makes us be unable to find our point of living.

Here, you get to honestly appraise your life and see what factors are over shadowing that purpose in you. In the process you get to know yourself even more. You see in a new light your beliefs, joys, sadness and what matters the most. It can be a scary process but in the end you get that enlightenment like no other.

You will be able to see what matters most. You get to set your real goals and aspirations. In a gradual process led by your coach, you can achieve them in no time.

Your inner dreams and real wanting in life could be revealed and trying to achieve that would lead to that sense of contentment for you. A new lay out of your life will be formed and this would bring you back the joy in living. That excitement that was lost would be found once again and you can start existing the way you are supposed to!

We should be optimistic in life. By optimism, it is meant that one should firmly believe that the best would happen. This belief will give us the moral boost to carry on with our efforts. Only hard and incessant efforts will lead to success.

For our efforts to be incessant, we should positively believe that we are going to succeed. This sort of positive thinking urges us onward till the end is achieved. Instead, if we get discouraged and lose heart, the chances are that we will fail to succeed.

There is another side to this, despite all our efforts it happens that we don’t succeed. If such a thing happens, we should be prepared to accept it. We should remember that defeat is yet another step to success. Our next endeavor may succeed. But instead of that, if we lose heart by our failure and remain inactive, we will be giving success no chance to help us.

Life as we all know is full of hard realities. At the same time life has its bright side also. Life is really a mixture of success and failure. Nobody is entirely successful in life. Likewise nobody can always be the recipient of defeat.

If at one time we fail, the next time we may succeed. And also remembering this philosophy of life, in whatever we do it is always better to hope for the best and at the same time, be prepared for the worst if it turns out to be so. So HOPE FOR THE BEST AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST. Such an attitude will certainly help us in life!
