Today’s Mandala Message: Is it time to hire a Personal Coach?

This week I’m working through Principles #44 and #45 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Find a Wing to Climb Under” and “Hire a Personal Coach” respectively. I set my intention today to ponder if it’s time for me to hire a personal coach. Canfield states: “You would never expect an athlete to reach the Olympic Games without a world-class coach. Nor would you expect a professional football team to enter the stadium without a whole team of coaches. …today, coaching has moved into the business and personal realm to include coaches who have succeeded in your area of interest—and who can help you traverse this same path or even one far greater.”

I would like to think that my circle of family and friends would be the ones to provide the support that a personal coach would offer however they would also be involved in their own journeys, issues, and needs. I can see the value in hiring a coach where I could get more undivided attention without any of the day-to-day personal attachment, expectations, and/or potential disappointments from a friend or family member. Based on what I posted on Monday (23-247), I could definitely use some outside help. I’m ever so close to taking that leap … I’m tired of trying to figure it all out by myself.

A good mindfulness practice would be to assess your current situation and consider if you would benefit from someone who would be able to help you.

So how about you? Do you need help clarifying your vision and goals? Do you need someone who can support you and help you stay focused? Could you use someone who can help you reach your full potential?

“As coaches,
we help people figure out
what they really want.
We do it by asking
powerful questions,
holding space
and reminding our clients
of their brilliance.
We hold faith for them
when they can’t
hold it for themselves.
And that my friends,
is part of the magic of coaching.”

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
