Hi Ben.
Thanks for your comment. :-) Life coaching IS entertaining. And, it’s so encouraging and inspiring to connect with people who like to explore and think outside of the box.

That is a very interesting metaphor. I like it! Life coaching sounds like a real joy. I can see how it would be very entertaining. The people who seek you out are undoubtedly those who care about what happens to their lives and want to better themselves. Those are always the most interesting kinds of people.

Hello Barb.
I love how you’ve put this about metaphors allowing truth to seep through the walls. They really do come alive and give us a chance to adjust and tweak our perspective. When the picture is uncovered outside of us we can tweak it like an artist does with a painting. You know about that :-)

I love your way of seeing through metaphor. The picture is so much broader that way. It allows for truth to seep through the walls and widen the windows and allow in its light.

And I really love your approach to coaching — that people don’t need to be fixed. They just need the space and permission to become. Becoming is the process — it’s continual and leads to having become. That, for me anyway, is the goal. :)

Thanks Liara.
It’s like the real “fixing” is in the fixation a person has with only one way of thinking. Though I do run into the challenge with the perception of how we choose to feel good or lousy.

I find myself denying that I’ve chosen those “lousy” days. But notice that when it is realized how I’m feeling, sometimes it is possible to shift out of it. Other times it is not. Then the effort is made to actually look at what is behind the “lousy” that seems to be hard to let go of.

Many people sense they need “fixing” when another way to view things is to simply choose to shift perception. You can choose to sense you feel good or feel lousy. Whatever your answer, only you can figure out why and what to do about that, it anything at all. Very uplifting post. You have a gift for prompting your readers to self-reflect and consciously grow.
