Are you dissatisfied with your life, but cannot put pinpoint what is wrong. By any "normal" standards your life may look as rosy as a picture to everyone else. Your dissatisfaction may be accompanied by an indefinite feeling of despair and ungratefulness for the "good fortune" you do have in your life because, as already mentioned, by society's standards you are living a pretty good, comfortable and successful life. However, the bottom line is that you are not happy and you can't understand why.

What I have discovered in coaching is that people from all walks of life are in a state of self-examination more so than ever before. A common thread that links is the longing for something more meaningful. They feel that somehow they are on the wrong track and that life should have more meaning. If this is you, quite simply put, you have begun to question the quality of your life versus the quantity of what you have. You have begun to question the existential question that has for all time plagued human beings namely; "What is my purpose?" External symbols of success such as fame, wealth, high status jobs, public image and the like are just not good enough anymore. You want to live a bigger and better life

What can you do?

Here are some important first steps you can take:

Take the time to listen to your inner voice
Be really honest and open with yourself this once
Dare to write down what you really want or do not want in life.
Be courageous enough to put down on paper what you dream of no matter how unrealistic it may seem to you right now.
Do not stress out if the answers do not come to you immediately.
Timing speaks volumes. The answers and solutions will come eventually if you keep asking the questions; "What do I want? "How do I want to live my life?"

You do know the truth of what you really want and who you really are and want to be and what you are capable of in this life. It may just be hidden at present. By sitting down and writing down your desires, you will speed up your growth and personal development. Once you have your answers, formulate a plan for yourself. A coach, mentor, consultant or another expert may be really helpful at this stage to help and support you move towards achieving your dreams and goals. Once you have a plan you can beginning taking steps to make your dreams real.

"Allowing your dreams to surface, gives you the strength to make them real."

Wouldn't it be great to have a mirror that tells you everything about who and what you are, and a reminder of how perfect you are; the way you are? And how perfectly you have lived your life no matter what you personally think about it.
Have you ever felt as though your best is not good enough, as though you are at your wits end, and cannot go on a minute longer? Welcome to the human race. It seems that most of mankind has felt this way at one time or another. It is not uncommon to want to throw in the towel when you feel unappreciated, or as though all your hard work does not matter. Just think what Christ must have felt like as he took on so much to save mankind from total condemnation in hell.
I am not politically motivated nor do I have any interest in the candidates or their policies. However, I was on occasion drawn to the debates later on in the 2008 US presidential election. I had the opportunity to hear one or two of Obama's speeches. I agree with many, that the US election was a trans-world election. Because the US influence is felt throughout the world, what happens in their country affects all of us in some way.
A new beginning always comes after an ending. We are on the threshold of a new awareness in human evolution. All the periods we have gone through have brought us to this place in time. Currently we are experiencing the ending of religion and the industrial revolution. They have taken us as far as they can.
Did you watch the show "Short Circuit?" It was about a robot created for the military to seek and destroy. Something happened to the robot; some circuits shorted out and it became aware of its existence; it became sentient. The robot which was the 5th robot is a series, gave itself a name and declared throughout the movie that "Number Five is Alive."
The innumerable recorded cases of past life experiences are proof of the concept of life after death. In all the recorded cases of rebirth, it was found that there was a variable time lag between the death of the person and his next birth on Earth. So, where does the person go after his death till his rebirth on Earth?
There's no time like the present! Do you know how to live it? What does that mean? Most of us live inside our heads. We are thinking about the past or dreaming about the future. Rarely do we take time to fully appreciate the present moment. The present is all we have. The past is done and gone. The future is being written in the present. We spend our lives looking forward down the road to the destination. We only look up for a moment to see if we have “arrived”. Being full present will change your limiting beliefs.
