Give Up Control to Gain Control

by Carol Giannantonio

If you have an important goal that you are having difficulty reaching, maybe its time to let someone else help you. The Pyramids were not built by a single person. It takes a team. It takes help.

Oh- but it is hard to give up control.
Better said- It is hard to give up the illusion of control.

If you are not making progress and getting absolutely nowhere achieving a major life goal (losing weight, staying fit, getting out of debt, getting organized, etc) you are not in control.

Food is in control. Inertia is in control. Money is in control, Clutter is in control.

By giving up or sharing control with someone else, you are gaining control. Not complete control, but 50% control. That's more than 0% control.

Are you ready to accept 50% of something real over 100% of an illusion? Asking for help is not losing control- its taking control.

So by now some of you are asking- well who can help me? Who can I trust my control to? Who will have a vested interested in helping me reach my goals?

Great questions! One of your best and most widely used resources is a Life Coach. Working with a Life Coach can help you gain control, set goals and get what you want.

Why Work with a Life Coach?

Life Coaching is a professional partnership between you and a qualified coach that brings about extraordinary results, based on goals that you set. When you are fully committed to pursuing a life you love, coaching supports and encourages you to go for what fulfills you. It allows you to take control of your life. It puts you in the drivers seat. The result is very simple: More joy and vitality in your life. Working with a Life Coach you will experience fresh perspectives on personal challenges. Decision-making gets easier, you will have greater ease in relationships, and you will find you have more confidence in your life and work.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
