The intention
On the surface everything went well: a great job at a great company, female friend, Dear Parents, family and plenty of friends. The picture as I had so often imagined in my mind. Maybe a bit materialistic and superficial. As my social context had unconsciously shaped me.
Only small problem…I was not happy with my life. My sense of freedom was gone. Gone, slipped away without me noticing. I couldn't figure it out myself. Wanted to leave my company, break with history, stop the train I was on. become a writer, going to Italy to pick olives: anything would do!
The approach
Fortunately, my HR advisor saw the solution by talking to a coach. When I came to my coach, I was at the height of my internal conflict.
The result
By getting to know myself again and realizing what my life is about: being free. For someone else it might as well be a glorious career, become a father, write a book. For me it's being free. I never expected this ten years ago. While this is finally following my heart!
The lessons
The strength of my coach is that he let me make the journey, so that I still use that special learning school on a daily basis. My failure has turned into a brilliant one, with a wonderful outcome
He also learned to really follow my heart instead of just listening to what your social context advises. My coaching journey is one of those few events that have changed my life. Why? I'm free again! I am now back in my power and enjoying life.
I have now been working for a year with great strength and pleasure in a job where I can fully utilize my freedom and wealth.. Also with the same company!
Further:
When I'm old and gray later, I hope to have had a rich life. Rich in every way: emotional, physically healthy and with many loved ones around me. No and, also enough financial resources to make at least part of my dreams come true. Luckily I don't need a lot of money for my greatest wealth: to be free in my mind. That's my 'thing', be free with my thoughts. To be able to dream about faraway places, new inventions and a better world.
