Personal life coach – Secret to happy marriage (50th wedding anniversary)

Life Coaching: I attended John & Elizabeth Howe’s 50th Wedding Anniversary on December 29, 2007.

I mentioned to Elizabeth that I figured their secret to being happily married for 50 years was due to them actually “liking” each other at least 51% of the time. “Oh no,” she corrected me, “it’s at least 75% of the time.”

Love will get you started, but liking lasts forever!

Personal life coach – Follow your bliss

Life Coaching: “Follow your bliss! If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.” – Joseph Campbell

Persoanl life coach – People hating your happiness?

Life Coaching: Some people hate it when you share your happiness, mainly because they have none of their own to share. So they call your happiness bullshit – sometimes to your face.

They may look like they have it all together, they may tell you they have it all together, but their fear is in their words.

Sometimes what somebody says against you (or against others) is really what they want you to know is true about their own lives. When somebody hates on you, understand they’re being honest – about themselves.
