One of my favorite movies is Guardians of the Galaxy. I love the action and humor of it. And I also love the subtle and not so subtle messages. Below are a few I picked up…
- Replace your fear with wonder and light
- Your deepest fear is when you realize you are chosen for something specific
- The most joyous time is when we have the experience of being seen, heard and understood for who we are at our center
- Your dreams are what allows your light to shine
- There will always be fear but as long as you believe the fear can be overcome
I found coaching at a time when I was truly searching for my calling. I was desperate to know that I was indeed chosen for something more than the field of engineering, which I wasn’t passionate about at all. I wanted to be one of those people who was doing what they knew they were “supposed” to do. Well indeed I found my center, my calling, and my passion.
Since I started my coaching practice, there has been fear, there has been joy, there has been doubt and there has been belief. There has also been so much growth and learning not only about my calling but also about my past and how it has served me well. Guardians of the Galaxy brought it all to light which is why I have watched it several times!
So let’s bring the insights of the movie to you. What do each of the learnings above mean to you? How do they apply to your career and to your life? If I were to call you today, and I just might 😉 and ask you what are you called to do with your life right now, what would you say?
We are almost in the fourth quarter of the year and it is a great time to start thinking about the goals you can reach by the end of the year. Here are a few coaching questions that will support you in doing so.
Coaching questions:
- What are the things (fears, thoughts or mindset) that hold you back from reaching your goals?
- What is the specific thing you are “chosen for” to act upon today, this week, this month?
- What dreams need to be realized now so that your light can shine?
- Who do you need to “be” in order to accomplish all that you set out to this year?
Now is a great time to engage with a coach. To live your calling, finish the year strong, and reach your goals! Please contact me if you are ready to work with a coach!
