Are you truly happy? What is a veracious definition of happiness?

We live in a world where the majority of people aren’t happy with the work they are doing. Many times we believe we are headed in the right direction only to realize it simply does not feel right. As we mature and evolve, what once interested us is no longer fulfilling.

Throughout our lives, many experiences turn our world upside down. These events that fling us to unknown places may sometimes be very important affairs that become hidden assets. Unfortunately, we do not realize that we are a unique hue on a rainbow that is one in 7 billion people. Further, we may never come to realize our life-lessons could be translated into powerful teachings that others find valuable.

A Diamond in the Rough

As a life coach, I can personally attest to witnessing unbelievable transformations, both in students and teachers. People coming from varied backgrounds who study a training program and arrive at a most special place. On this other side, as an educator, they formulate the most interesting coaching businesses. How? It is derived from their personal life experiences and weaved through the structure of an accredited coach training certification.

The unique skill set we develop is precious, worthy, and transferable, while many folks do not understand the gem they can provide others. But if those skills are fine-tuned and polished they become invaluable and very desirable to others.
