I have been pondering on the questions and concerns that many clients ask me in my life skill coaching work. Spirit guided me toward sharing information about Foundations. At one point I created a diagram that depicting the different levels in relationships. By using the analogy of the foundation of a building or a house as a comparison to the spiritual aspect of relationships, we know that without a foundation the house has nothing to stand on. Without a Spiritual foundation a relationship has nothing to stand on.

Without a Spiritual Foundation our lives have nothing to stand on.There is nothing to hold us together when we don’t build from the inside out. We just float around like a boat that is lost in the ocean. Everything that is built on the physical plane has some kind of a base to build from. A car has to have an engine to run. The frame could be great to look at, but without the motor there is no way that the car is going to move. That works the same way on every aspect of the material plane.

What makes us think that we can live our lives and not make Spirituality our first priority? Nothing works from the outside in. Everything is based on building from the inside out. Sometimes in life skill coaching I ask clients’ what their Spiritual base is, when it is apparent they are struggling with life issues that need deeper attention. In order to support them I ask that question to be able to direct them to the right resources that best resonate with what they are focused on. Many clients are practicing Christians, many are Christian by birth, but are not currently studying anything in their faith. Other client’s are interested in Spiritual and Metaphysical tools, but have no idea which would best fit their needs.

One thing that I must mention is that tools are just that, they do not give us a base to stand on. Foundations are created with tools, but the tools are not the Source of the Power. The power of an engine or the foundation of a house is built on a tried and true method that have specifications and guidelines. When people tell me that Tarot cards, Astrology, Numerology, Psychic Readings, is what they building their foundation on, I have to correct them. Those are tools that can amplify and fine tunes a structure that is strong and solid. They are not the foundation……In life skill coaching I teach that the only foundation we can live by is one that is based on God’s word, the principles of God’s truth and any writing or teaching that is based on those principles.

Tools are our helpers. Music and Nature are magnificent support systems for our healing and alignment with Source. All other tools can be a roadmap to help us to design a firmer foundation. An analogy could be that we have bodies. They are the foundation for our physical selves. They are what we move around with on the Earth Plane. We have many tools to take advantage of regarding our bodies’ health and adornment, but our bodies are the foundation. We have freedom of choice as to how we want to make that body look, but the base of the body, shape and structure are designed by a Power greater than our own.

That is the same with our Foundation. We must keep our focus on the designer of that Power that is within us. Our lives and direction are dependent on that force. The Law of Attraction can only work when we know who we truly are. What we are made of, and where we come from. In our life skill coaching work we can take that small child within us to God. That child needs a rock solid foundation. If we didn’t get that from our parent’s we will need to reframe our thinking and programming until there is no doubt left in our hearts that God and I are One. That is our foundation……forever and ever…..and ever.

In life, most things come down to the choices you make and whether or not you learn and/or benefit from them. That’s right, it is all about how you think about what is handed to you. Everyone will experience hard times in life, but those who make it through and come out on top are always positive thinkers.

But not everyone can do this alone. You might need a mentor to help you achieve whatever goals you are pursuing in life. A personal life coach could be the answer to a lot of your seeming to be misfortunes. A personal life coach can keep you on track with your goals while monitoring your progress.

The Demand For Life Coaches is Booming

The history of the personal life coach is quite short, but is booming already. Both the demand for, and supply of, qualified life coaches has expanded quickly. This phenomenon is due to an increasing number of people who find working with a personal life coach to be extremely beneficial.

Find an Instructor Not an Impostor

Nonetheless, some drawbacks to this situation are beginning to emerge. For instance, various people refer to themselves as life coaches, without having any significant experience, education, or skills in the field. Thus, to ensure that you are entirely satisfied with the coaching you receive from a personal life coach, consider the following suggestions:

* Select a personal life coach with ample experience

* Learn how long they have been coaching, and whether in a part-time or full-time position

* If you are looking for a specialized Life Coach, such as a Career Coach, Sales Coach, or Executive Coach, verify that the candidate Life Coach has sufficient experience in that niche subject

* Verify that the personal life coach has finished advanced training and has earned certification at least one institution that the International Coach Federation (ICF) recognizes. This federation allows you to distinguish which Life Coaching schools are beneficial, and which are useless

* Talk to several life coaches and use one that you seem to connect with

* Find out if the person listens well and fully comprehends your objectives

* Remember this is about you, and a good life coach will make this about you and what you want, not what they want for you

You should also request that your life coach explains precisely the services they can offer, and the cost for those services. Furthermore, learn about what type of commitment that personal life coach requests. It is wise to avoid life coaches who require advance payment for long-term programs.

Select someone who is a member of the International Coach Federation (ICF). ICF governs professional life coaches, so professional ethics and practice rules preside over members of that particular group.

Choosing an unskilled or inexperienced personal life coach will not result in the end of the world, you just might experience more hard times and be out a few more bucks. However, the amount of quality life coaches is growing. Therefore, with a little research and effort on your part you should be able to find a personal life coach that can help you achieve your dreams.
