Where do happiness and success come from?
In our society, we tend to believe that our circumstances and the people around us are responsible for our level of happiness and contentment, that things outside of us control our ability to follow our dreams and be successful.
What if this is not true?
You know how it is – you just landed that great contract you’ve been working on for the last 6 months or you just met the partner of your dreams, you’re feeling so good it hardly bothers you when your train is cancelled and you spend an hour waiting for the next one. Compare that to another day, when you just lost out on a great promotion or your partner tells you it’s all over – then how did you feel when the train didn’t show up?
Understanding the principles of human life which affect your state of mind can help you feel more relaxed, better able to cope with life’s challenges and improve your relationships with others. Interestingly, the deeper our understanding of what it means to be human, the more likely we are to realise our dreams, to be more creative and productive with far less stress and effort than we have been used to.
Coaching with a difference
Most traditional coaching programs are focused on setting goals, defining action steps and charting progress toward the goal. Most of us set goals or want our lives to be different in some way because we think that will make us happy and if you’ve ever reached any of your goals (and you definitely have!), you will know that it feels really good for a little while, then the happy feeling tends to fade and you want something else to make you feel happy again.
So at Doors Within we do things a little differently – we offer you the opportunity to explore the principles of human life alongside your goals or the changes that you would like to make in your life. It might be that those goals remain the same or you may find that they alter but however that turns out, you will have a deeper understanding of where your happiness and success come from – then you will want certain things just because you want them and you will set goals just for the fun of achieving them.
