Becoming A Life Coach

When I was told that the first requirement for a life coach is to keep on growing, I was totally sold on the idea of me becoming a life coach for the rest of my life. I consciously adopted the idea of growing about 30 years ago and since then have been in love with personal growth and spiritual growth (which I happen to think are the same thing).

Before that I was unconsciously searching for the idea. I joined a spiritual group; I went to a 24-hour encounter group with my ex-husband; I went to a 12-Step group to lose weight and I went to Marriage Encounter with my ex-husband. But I didn't know what I was searching for and so it was hard to find. I had a spiritual awakening when I realized that I had to leave my marriage. I walked out on the ledge of uncertainty and ran away with no job and with four kids. That was my moment! And I learned from then on that what I was looking for was uncovering the Being I came here to earth to be.

I've had other addictions before - ones that made me high or fat - but this is a most positive one! I am addicted to uncovering my inner essence - and that is what I convey to my clients.

If this makes sense to you, it is likely that becoming a life coach in some form is for you too. If it doesn't, thanks for reading.
