In coaching one of the most challenging and empowering things is helping people discover “who” they are or have become on their journey thus far, “where” they currently are according to them in living their dreams and then the most empowering of all these, “what” their desired end result is.
Reread that incredibly long sentence. Maybe…yes read it one more time and then focus on “what their desired end result is”… Hmmmmm… Interesting, huh? How many reading this have even ever thought that there could be an end, much less some type of “end result”… How many put “desired end result” in the category of declaring the outcome of a proposal, product or project? Have you ever thought about how the “end result” of your life affects all of those others?
My #BAM partner and I were breaking down the very powerful and insightful blog by James Arthur Ray called “What Are You Willing to Risk” (http://www.jamesray.com/what-are-you-willing-to-risk/ I embedded the BAM epsisode at the bottom fo the page) where James points out that the “desired end result” is on of the most fundamental questions we must keep asking ourselves as we progress this journey of life. Defining who we are and more importantly who we want to become is all based on what end result that we are shooting for. Funny thing is most have never slowed down long enough to think specifically about this, much less work with someone to help discover and define it. As James quotes in his blog, “As you look back across your life, you don’t have the most regret for the times you said “yes. ”You have the most regret for the times you were unwilling to say “yes.”
You may want to take a moment, reread that and allow it to sink in a bit.
In looking at this, I have to be bold and seriously ask you, “have you ever considered any of this?” If today was your final day, would you know exactly who you were to the people that surround you? Better yet, who are those around you? Will they be at your funeral? Who will they say you were? Would you have become or lived the life of who you wanted to be? Or as in James’ blog the question comes up, “did you even LIVE at all?”….
The desired end result. What is it? What life do you want to live and what are you willing to do to have it?
I submit and challenge you that are reading this that you CAN have the life you want. It isn’t a dream, it CAN be reality. I know this because I have seen it and I am living it. It does come as everything does at a price, but the reward is 10x the happiness, the satisfaction, the stability and the ability to fully live life.
Here are 3 simple steps I took to begin my journey, and the ones I recommend to all of my clients.
- Hire a Coach
- Read! (I suggest “Harmonic Wealth” by James Arthur Ray, The Charges Life by Brendon Burchard and EntreLeadership by Dave Ramsey to start off with)
- This is the hardest of the 3…. Give Yourself Permission to:
- Let Go
- Transform
- Achieve
Honestly, number three is the key. Without that permission, no one can help you and reading will only be information, but you can find information almost anywhere… Gaining knowledge that will help allow you to achieve is found in the books listed above. Comes down to how bad do you want it.
