Complacency




COMPLACENCY

com·pla·cen·cy (noun) 

\kəm-ˈplā-sən(t)-sē\

: a feeling of being satisfied with how things
are and not wanting to try to make them better

Complacency is the enemy of success and significance! Do you ever find 
yourself feeling like you want something more out of life, or at least something different? Yet, day after day you wake up to more of the same? Why is that? 

Well, assuming you are not literally being held prisoner somewhere it is because you have not yet reached the point where you want "the different" so badly that you are willing to choose different behaviors. Life is a journey of endless possibilities! You are always free to choose a different future but it starts by making difficult decisions today.

The reality is, few of us are literal prisoners. We more often make ourselves FEEL LIKE prisoners because it is easier to live with a defeatist attitude and lack of initiative on our part if we can somehow convince ourselves that someone else is to blame for our unhappiness. We convince ourselves we are powerless and that let's us off the hook!

How many times has someone given up just one step short of their breakthrough to success? Every summit of every mountain ends with one last step. If you don't take that last step, every mountain climb is a failed attempt. It's the same in every area of life. Thomas Edison said "The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Listen to me now! Listen! Don't miss this! You are more powerful than you have been led to believe!

Sir Isaac Newton told us that an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. Of course, he was referring to physics, physical motion and forces, but the statement also holds true for the fields of behavior and motivation. Many people I have helped over the years described themselves as feeling "stuck" or "trapped" and this was not inaccurate.

Sometimes we all need a "push" from someone other than ourselves to get things moving again. It's not that we don't want to change for the better, it's that we've been stuck in the same place for so long we're just not sure how to take the first step. We need someone to believe in us and our ability to change for the better! That's exactly what a Life Coach does and I would love the opportunity to do that for you.

You are still in 100% control of our relationship and it all starts with you asking me to help you figure out how you got stuck and then raising your awareness together for you to get your life moving the right direction again. I'm here to give you the push you need once you decide which direction you want to go!

If you want more info about Life Coaching and how it can change your life for the better let me know and I will inbox you a brief PDF file of FAQ's.

I'll give everything I've got to help you become everything you want to be!
