Why We Often Need Coaches In Our Lives

All this talk about "Thoughts and Thinking" where is it going?  My ultimate goal to enrich all of our "Collective" lives.

Just so you know I too have a business as well as spiritual coach.  I had a phone session with her on Thursday.  In a word, painful. I controlled the need to lash out back at her.  Something inside of me side said, listen, take notes and make adjustments. In the end, the question she presented to me, to present to myself was: How bad do you want this success for you and those around?  Well you can guess my answer. 

For me its not about figuring out what I am doing wrong its about making the changes in my subconscious thinking that allows for change.  Additionally, as she shouted through the phone at me I thought about coaches like Mike Ditka, that would yell and scream at his players, often criticized by others for his methods.  However, they won! Other rough and tough coaches Lombardi who built at Dynasty and of course, many more! So often like me our our limiting beliefs are so deep inside it often takes the yelling and screaming at me/us to cause me/us to let go of the of the limiting beliefs.

Jackie Joyner Kersee husband, Al, whom was an Olympian himself coached her to her great Decathlon win!  His methods were constantly criticized.  He screamed and yelled and pushed her even when she was sick. Al also coached Gail Devers, whom had tremendous problems with her feet.  She was told she would never walk much less go onto win multiple gold metals.  Al's coaching methods were harsh, the athletes allowed it because they were willing to let go of their own limiting beliefs in order to obtain the outcome they desired.  That's what this teaching is aboutwhether you are willing to let go of your limiting beliefs even though you may not be conscious of them.  In the end its your choice!  I believe just getting becoming conscious of our "Collective" thoughts is helpful.

I have another person that I once represented that Al wanted to coach.  She told me everyone that Al coached won!  She declared she simply could not put up with this methods.  As you can imagine i begged her to give him a try.  I asked her to imagine herself on the podium accepting her metal and reaping the rewards that the title can often bring.  Sadly, her answer, no!  At that time she had been a 5 times Olympian however, never won a metal.  I am asking my actors to be conscious of their thoughts.  

A coach that most of us know by name Phil Jackson, former long time coach of the LA Lakers, they called him the "Zin Master".  The play book was about understanding the tri angle.   However, Phil got into his players mind set and therefore, created a Laker Dynasty!  Hum....the Lakers after the "Zin Master" well....we all know that story.  Folks our thoughts are powerful and we have the ability to change things with our thoughts!

Questions to Present to Yourself:

• Who do you spend the most time with? 
• How much television are you watching?  
• In conversation what are you talking about?  
• How much time do you spend judging and speaking ill of others?
• Most important how do you feel most of the time?  Are you walking around on auto pilot?  

Actors how often do you tell yourself that the guy/girl over there is the best? I'll agree with you here knowing that He/She is the best because everyone focuses their energy towards him/her most important, casting professionals.  Same things with agency reputation(s).  Watch what will happens if the large percentage of us change our "Collective" thinking!  The universe will kick in and as in sports world we, too will be known as Champions!
