I have a few people in my life that all I seem to do is coach them. They come to me with all of their problems, not just to talk and get support but for me to TELL them what to do … yes some of you will be sitting there saying why don’t you just listen don’t say anything, I’ve tried that and I really cant tolerate the hours of whining and sniveling so I, like some kind of Glenda the good witch tell them they can go on and live the lives they want. My issue is now they are dependent on me to get them through even the smallest problems.  I am helping others so much I am finding it hard to do the things I want to accomplish in my own life.  I love to help and enjoy seeing someone else’s life improve. But my life is in the toilet. Just when I was feeling the worst I open my email to find a spam from a “Life Coach” who for $45 a week will call me and keep me on track to achieve my goals.  UGHHHH I would be a multimillionaire by now if I had charged just half of the people who have relied on my advice. I guess I need to follow some of my own advice and live a life of love, hope, peace… and that for me means being in service to others. I want people to live the lives they were meant to live not just what is handed to them. I know that I have the ability to see the best in others and show them how to overcome current obstacles to achieve something greater. So I have been a Life Coach for a long time now.  The dilemma is do I take some courses and get certified (yes there are certifications for this) at a great expense. Or just keep being poor and dishing out advice on an as needed basis.
