Life coaching

Why life mission coaching?

Do you want to become great? Do you want to create the ‘brand’ called you?

If you want to become great you need to have a mission in your life. Every achiever in life had a mission: Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Theresa, etc.

When you discover your mission, you just know that you will be exploding from energy, excitement and drive. Every sense of your living is telling you that. You know that nothing will stop you anymore; you will be unleashed and start achieving, expanding and growing.

There are steps to discover your mission in life. They are neither easy nor short. They involve lot of insights and self discovery, expanding your limits and boosting your confidence, changing old beliefs and acquiring new concepts, plus energizing yourself and building momentum.

As life coach I specialize in Life mission coaching. My life mission coaching has changed many lives forever. I have designed a practical and easy to follow program. I am proud to say that my coaching model satisfied all people I worked with. Please look at my life mission coaching model and what people are talking about it.

Coaching model

Phase one: Awakening

Through my forms that you are kindly asked to fill and the coaching time we spend together, you start the first phase of your coaching process that includes:

- Building your awareness: You will start reflecting about yourself and you will to be more aware of things happening in your life.

Phase two: Bringing meaning.

In this phase, through coaching, we will try to bring more momentum to your growth and to bring meaning to your actions. These goals are achieved by writing a mission statement and applying it in your daily life. This process will help you in:

- Discovering that you can express your mission in life everywhere: In your work, within your family, with your friends, etc.

- Bringing a sense of purpose to your actions: You will start to respond instead of reacting. You consciously lead your actions instead of letting your emotions lead you.

- Bringing more life changes and improvements.

- Shifting perspectives, and adopting new life changing thoughts.

- Discovering how your inner dialogue and beliefs are shaping the way you experience life. You will start to write new empowering ones that serve better your life goals.

 

Phase three: Setting goals

When you reach this phase you are already boosting with energy, confidence and determination. That’s what you really need to make major decisions in your life. You are capable now to set major life goals and to write your vision statement. Through coaching we will try to:

- Turn your self confidence, energy and determination into a force supporting you into choosing your goals.

- Set major goals in your life.

- Writing your vision statement.

 

Phase four: Growth

In this phase you have set your own major goals in life. You are fully growing, internally and externally. You are shining with love, energy and trust. You are taking actions to achieve your goals. During this phase I will focus on:

- To motivate, support, encourage, and inspire you into action.

- Watch out that you are building for success and happiness.

-Reframing your deceptions and celebrating your wins.

How do I start my quest for my Life mission?

 The common reason you didn’t find your mission till now is because usually when you used to think about” what is your mission in life” you used to think in terms of: “What should you do? Or, what could you do?” Through coaching you will start to think outside the “box”. Your mind starts exploring things in a new powerful way: “What do you like to do?”

“What should you do?” means you are listening to a pressure outside you; society’s pressures, your parents’ likes or dislikes, your peers’ appraisal or misappraisal, etc.

“What could you do?” means that you think in terms of what can be done. Your thoughts are running within the walls of your limiting beliefs and the limits of your conscious and unconscious fears. You are looking for things that do not involve lot of challenge.

Dear friend, if you are using these two questions to find your mission, you are trying to find your mission using the wrong questions. You can only find your mission by answering this question: “what do you like to do?”

 PS: In my coaching, as a start, you will get a six pages questionnaire that helps you in making lot of insights.

What is the real question I need to ask myself?

Did you ever have dreams to achieve something in your life? Surely you had lot of beautiful ideas in your life that you wanted to achieve. What happened to them?  You disregarded them after a while because you considered them as “dreams”, as ‘unachievable’ or “too challenging”.  Do you know that these dreams were the answers for your question: ‘what do you like to do in life?’

Sometimes, you considered yourself as procrastinator because you thought about a lot of ideas and didn’t achieve them. Why? Because it’s natural to reject every idea imposed as ‘should be done’ or everything  that  simply ‘can be done’ with no challenge and, most important of all, rejecting everything you labeled as “a dream”; in other words always rejecting every thought you have. That’s why you think sometimes you are a procrastinator.

Do you know that being “a dream” is a component of one’s mission? What you like to do is always a dream. But you always disregarded what you like to do in favor for what you should do and what you could do. Why? It’s because dreams are always difficult to achieve. They are challenging and make you face yourself. Sometimes the real question when looking for your calling is to ask: what will I do my life if I were completely unafraid? This question will show you how much sometimes you are close to your mission but your fears are driving you away from it.

To face your fears and achieve your dream, your goals must be is in total accordance with your mission. In that state you will be willing to face all the challenges, to face yourself and to face the world if in order to achieve what you want.

How much time do you need to discover your mission?

To get a good result from life mission coaching, my coaching model starts by letting you discover yourself and the values you adore you express (phase one). After that we move to the next step where we try through coaching to make you live these values and making small changes in your life (phase two). When you start going to a higher level of energy, clarity and confidence as result from the small improvements you made you will marvel at your faculty to choose confidently the dreams that really express your values (phase three). In that phase you will discover that you only dream to achieve and you feel that you are in state to say yes to any dream that represent what you want.

In my life mission coaching it’s not only about discovering your dreams, sometimes it’s more about changing your limiting beliefs, energizing you, filling you with confidence, adopting new concepts and way of thinking so new realms will be open to you in a way you can start spotting what you really want. Not only spotting them but also having the energy, confidence and courage to take the decision to go after it.

This type of coaching is not a simple one, but it’s very inspiring and life changing. That’s why I like to do it. Coaching depends on the person you are coaching and each person is so different from the other. Predicting how much time it will take to discover the goals that materialize your mission is very difficult. But through my experience I realized that first phase of my coaching “awakening” takes around 4 to 8 sessions sometimes more depending on the person. Second phase usually takes between 2 to six sessions sometimes more. The combination of phase one and two is usually around 12 coaching sessions. That’s why I designed my coaching package to have 12 coaching session done in 3 months. That’s what usually takes for me to make a shift in your life regardless of the phase of my coaching model you will be in.

Why writing a personal mission statement?

Please look at these mission statements:

Be the change I want to see. (Gandhi)

Anyone who comes to me will be born again. (Christ)

Make a difference in people’s lives. (Life coach)

Create and nurture an environment of growth for all those around me. (A mother)

Serve humanity with great love. (Mother Theresa)

Are they inspiring? Do they drive you into growth?

One common aspect of all great people:  They all had their own mission statement. They had it before they set the goals they want to achieve. Their goals were only an expression of their mission. 

These people were great because they had a value they were consistently expressing in their daily life; their words, their daily actions and their goals. Everything they did was the expression of their values. This is where their greatness lies.

In life mission coaching formulating client’s mission in life in a mission statement is a very powerful experience. Why it’s a powerful experience? How to define it? What are the benefits? How can it help the client to set major goals in life? This is what we will try to analyze in next articles.

Does having a life mission means only having a fulfilling work?

Generally speaking, when you start looking for your mission in life, you automatically tend to think about having a fulfilling work and for some kind of ‘external’ achievements (Outside your inner world).

What happens when you discover what kind of ‘external achievements’ you want to do? Definitely this discovery will bring you the purpose and the motivation to achieve, fills you with energy and willingness to challenge yourself, and takes you beyond yourself and capacities. You feel that you are growing; that you are bringing something to people you are serving. Great sensations, but is this really enough for you? Are you limited to your achievements? What kind of value will you show in your daily actions? What about other aspects of your life? What about your personal life? What will happen if you fail to achieve your target? What will you do if you lose your job?

You cannot achieve happiness by being fulfilled in one area in your life. You must be fulfilled in every aspect of your being! Achieving high goals as having your own company without having a positive attitude to show, a value to live, will never make you feel completely happy. Your mission must take that into consideration.

That’s why I make a difference in my coaching between mission statement (target of phase two of my coaching model) and vision statement (target of phase three of my coaching model)

What is a life mission?

Your mission does not mean a target to achieve or a work to do! Your mission is bigger than that. It’s a value to show in every aspect of your life, in every second of your living, in every breath you breathe.

When your mission in life is expressing a value, your sense of meaning is not tied anymore to your work, achievements or success; your work doesn’t give you your meaning, you give meaning to your work. If you fail or lose your work, your values are still there and they can be expressed in many other ways.

In that state there’s no failure, there’s only deception from not meeting your own expectations. You can easily adapt, reframe, and refocus. Your mission is not a definite goal. Goals come as a result of your mission. Goals can change depending on circumstances new opportunities and new insights. You are not limited to your goals. You can always incorporate new incomings and adjust your goals to better serve your mission.

In that state your actions are an expression of you. Your actions come as the natural way of expressing yourself.  You do what you want to do because it’s the real expression of you. Your actions do not depend on the outcome. You are not afraid from anything or fearing failure. It’s just what needs to be done.

Your life is not limited to your work and achievements. You are bigger than your work. You are a whole. Your mission must be expressed in everything you do in life: personal life, relationships, work, etc. It must also make you feel that you are growing from inside as a person. Your mission is tied to your inner world. A mission that doesn’t make you grow internally is not a mission. It will not make you happy. You cannot be divided from your inner life.  Internal growth is a human need and an essential ingredient for your happiness. Living by a value will guarantee that, because if you want to fully live your value, you have to grow from inside.

Your mission in life holds the highest values you want to show in your life. You express them in every action, situation and minute in your life. It’s just you. Your mission is an expression of yourself and is not tied to a specific goal.

Life mission coaching, in this perspective, takes the role of discovering what are the values that you are expressing in your daily life, what values motivate you the most, and what values make you feel full of life.
