Have you found your life's mission? Have you even ever wondered why you were put on this earth, what you were meant to do in this life? Have you found "THE" place where you can develop and use your talents you were given?
I have always known I was supposed to do something good and wonderful in this life but it has taken me 50 yrs to find it. The last several months I have REALLY searched to find it! I truly believe the scripture that tells us that "if we seek, we will find". The Lord has truly been guiding me in my life lately.
Something that I have always enjoyed in life is working with people. I've really enjoyed the leadership roles that have come my way in the church. Getting up and speaking in front of people is something I've really grown to love. The whole experience of researching information and feeling directed on preparing what to say in my talk has been exciting to me. Realizing I still have a way to go in giving a great talk without reading it, is definately something I'm working on even at the present time. I've had secret dreams of becoming a motivational speaker for a very long time and these dreams are still at a distance but they are getting closer. Becoming a counselor has been something I have been drawn to, to help others with life's challenges. I think my husband's accident and things we all had to go through made this desire even more powerful.
Well all my children are gone and living their lives. (And I have to say I am SO very proud of each and every one of them and the choices they've made in their lives! They are doing well.) I was truly blessed to be a stay at home mom! That will always be my biggest blessing I'm most grateful for! But because each of our children have moved on with their lives I have felt in the last year or so that it is my time to take my life in a different direction as well. I have tried different things over the years to bring in income. I've enjoyed them all but none of them really felt like this is what I'm suppose to do for the rest of my life. And I think it is because maybe they didn't offer me a real chance to grow as a person. Some things I tried offered a few more chances to grow than others and I feel grateful for each endever I tried. I definatly learned something from each but I just never had that peaceful feeling like this is exactly what I was meant to do in life. I am still going to keep my Send Out Cards business because it allows me to connect with friends and loved ones in such a special way. It also will give me the financial freedom I want. It will allow me to help others through my Professional Coaching and not have to worry about the cash flow.
The other day I was ordering a book online called, Aspire. (This book is ABSOLUTELY a life changing book. Especially if you really put yourself into it as you are reading it.) Anyway as soon as I clicked the button to buy the book, another web page popped up out of no where that asked me, "Do you want to become a Certified Professional Coach"? There is a little more to this story but I'm trying to make this post more condenced. The point I'm trying to make is that I don't believe in coincidents. This was truly the begining of my journey to fulfilling my dreams in life and I know it didn't come to me by accident. I had only heard of the term Professional Life Coach once but really had no idea what it was all about. As I studied and researched the website on coaching I could see all the things that I have been drawn to do in my life could all happen if I became a Professional Life Coach. Huge chills came over me and I got a little emotional. Finally I had found my home in life! I think I have a talent for helping others and I truly want to strengthen that gift. It will help me to be a better person. My goal is to learn how to serve others better. I think I will gain a much better understanding of what true compassion and charity is. I can't tell you how excited I am! The strangest thing to me is that normally I would be feeling a LOT of stress and anxiety in starting something new and totally unknown to me. These feelings are very familiar to me when I've been asked to take on a big project or church position or start a new business. It normally takes me a while to get used to the idea and then I can take off with it. But I've never once felt that about this at all. I've always known I can do this!!!! My life is certainly not perfect. I don't know of anyone that does have a perfect life but I finally feel I have the right path in front of me and I'm going to take off and run with it!!!!
Follow and see where it takes me!!!!!!!! Whoo HOOOOO!!!!
