The struggle of life

[bigorangedan]

These past 4 years have not been the easiest in my life. In fact I would wager that they have been the hardest that I have had to go through. Since losing my job when the recession hit in 2008/2009 life has been on a steady downward spiral that I just cannot seem to come out of. After losing the job that was going to get me into a position of

Ever consider working for yourself? What is it that you would like to do and get paid for? I got caught in a similar predicament to yours, as has been common for more people I know personally than I can count on two hands at this point. There is a great socio economic migration going on as well as a reform of the education system and migration to an entirely new kind of education system for some things. The two very much go hand in hand. Why go to a traditional form of school with the hopes of being employable just to become burdened by debt and find out there is no work in your field, at least through traditional avenues? You probably have enough skills, training and experience to create your own job right now, it's just a matter of clarity, perspective and knowing how.

There are some free courses going on here if you want to know more. Watch the videos and see if it resonates.

Going through some of the training and being coached, has personally changed my life and opened up so many new doors for me. I have also studied coaching so I could help walk you through the process if you are interested. I had to learn the hard way that I couldn't figure it all out on my own, I needed someone to be there to mirror back my thoughts, listen as I voiced my many fears and struggles and offer another perspective as I explored new possibilities and allowed myself to dream a bigger dream and let go of so many limiting beliefs.

I am actually being coached by Mike's Dad right now, that's just how it worked out. We were both taking the Coaching Cognition basic course at the same time, which Mike also offers, and he's been absolutely incredible and very patient with me too. I often referred to myself as one of the worst clients a coach could have because I hit so many of the problem client points, but we're trained to help clients around those stumbling blocks obviously. It's really empowering to just surround yourself with an empowered community too. I also know Shan, she lives here in Vancouver, who is on the side there giving a testimonial. She is quite a successful Eating Disorder and Health Business Consultant Coach now. I met her at another conference and she was just at a completely different place in life back then, end of her rope sort of thing too, and it's incredible how far she has come and how many lives she's been able to transform too.

Anyways, it may resonate for you, it may not, but I'm just telling everyone I know that is struggling out there in the working world because I struggled and overcame so many things so I feel like I have to share, just in case it might help. There are a lot of options and sometimes you just have to be aware of that and start looking in other places in order to see where it leads, whether or not this is where you want to go. We each have different paths to walk, if you want to get into action, start exploring, start looking in places you havn't looked before. I looked here because I just could not handle another rejection out there, another false lead on a supposedly 'secure' job. I have been 'promised' so many jobs over the past year and just had nothing come through, until now. Now I am meeting people and being asked to write and coach and offer my time, I'm finding network marketing opportunities and opportunities to partner and develop my skills and I'm feeling much more inspired creatively and just doing so many things I never could have done in a traditional job, while becoming so much happier and more fulfilled than I have ever been. Things aren't quite fully manifested or as 'secure' as I want them just yet, but I have and am holding that vision of what I want to achieve and I am supported in it by so many people. I have clarity and I feel needed, after feeling rejected and needy, panicked and uncertain and trapped in this dark place for so long, and coming out of that is just the best feeling in the world. The struggles can be a season, much like winter, as long and endless as it may seem, we know that spring is on its way.
