#16- Go Further Faster!

Happy New Year!  It’s here.  My newest book on Life Coaching, that is.  The book is called ‘Life Coaching: 7 Myths Keeping You From Your Best Year Yet.’  Despite the title, this is not a self-help book- not that they are bad things- it’s more like a ‘Survival Box’ to help you keep going when the going gets tough should you begin your own personal journey with the help of a coach.

My own journey began earlier this past year when I was encouraged by a pastor/friend to find a personal mentor.  I didn’t have to look long, and the results have been nothing short of fantastic!

How about you?  Are you currently being helped by someone who has more experience than you in your particular vocation or interests?  Do you meet regularly?  Has there been fruit?  Some statistics state that 98% of all New Years Resolutions dissolve within two weeks!  But it doesn’t have to be that way.  A good coach or mentor can make all the difference in the world, especially when it boils down to perseverance and endurance.  Are you struggling?  Commit to meeting regularly with someone who can help you achieve your goals.

You see, the problem is that when it comes to change, we will meet resistance from every direction.  That’s why change takes more than just will power.  You need help!  And the more help the better.  When you decide to change, there are more forces working against you than you could ever imagine.  James, the brother of Jesus wrote: “My brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into diverse temptations. James 1:2”  That means there are times when we are under pressure from every direction!

The good news is that pressure can be the means used to transform something.  In this case, the object is your faith, not you.  That’s important to remember.  The stronger your faith is, the stronger you will be.  

So what are you waiting for.  You can get off and stay off the path of least resistance for good!  Start today and make 2015 your best year yet.  Find a coach and get ready for some amazing results.

2 Timothy 2:3-4 says: “When the going gets rough, take it on the chin with the rest of us, the way Jesus did. A soldier on duty doesn’t get caught up in making deals at the marketplace. He concentrates on carrying out orders.  The Message
