Empower Your Thoughts with Awareness to Improve Your Career, Leadership, and Life
Each of us control our destiny as we control our thoughts, words and action. We and we alone control our destiny - (Taitreya Aranyaka, Chapter 1, Anuvaga 23, Verse 1).
We all humans set out our life journey to have the best life possible. We use tools, strategies like values, desires, goals, plans, career, and so on as a mechanism to help us lead a life by our design.
No human sets out their life journey with the intention or mindset that they are seeking a less than optimal life. And yet most of the individuals, when asked, do not believe that they are leading a life of their choice, or at least not the way they had envisioned; and most likely not how they had planned!
So where does the ball drop? We say “life happens.” “Things just happened and that’s that.” However, is that really so? Was there really no choice in steering life in another direction?
This is where coaching comes in – be it in life transitions, career, leadership, and so on. A coach is a non-judgmental ally who can give you a 360-degree view when you are in the midst of life challenges, empowering you with several ways to think and view the same challenge, and make the best decision you can at that moment in time.
Do you know that there are seven ways to view a situation – which means you can have seven varied thoughts that can create seven different actions and change the course of your life in seven possible directions?
A coach empowers you to get to know yourself well (your beliefs, your values, thoughts, behaviors, etc.) so that you can lead your life with increased awareness and make decisions that are well-grounded in Conscious Choice, Confidence, Fearlessness, and Being Present in the Moment.
