True happiness is found in the service to others #success

I got tired of watching all the coaching ads on social networks so here’s my answer! And if the algorithms could suggest me other ads from now on, that would be nice!

The blossoming of coaching brings back the promise of a prodigious springtime encouraging perfection thanks to miracle and secret solutions, applied by the best in the world, many times tested and approved!
Advertisements follow one another on social networks, promising to be, rich, handsome, happy and annuitant by becoming a real estate ace, being magnetic to attract the love of your life and finally being able to live the life of your dreams, which you deserve, naturally.
The level is set very high, but the reality is much lower, because when you read the small warning lines in the ads, you are informed that spectacular success stories are atypical cases resulting from great experience.
Success would therefore be a clever mix of knowledge and experience without forgetting to take action, of course, as the warning in the advertisement reminds us elsewhere.

Be careful, the method of communication can be extremely violent. The training courses offered are priceless, prohibitively expensive, but « if you can’t afford to pay and lots of excuses, it’s not for you! ”

« Only for the most ambitious for a limited time! « Who doesn’t have a minimum of ambition? It’s precise, violent and emotionally effective. I’m buying because I don’t want to be a failure…

Today some coaches sell immediacy, brief therapy, immediate change, complete and dazzling success. This is beautiful and false!
Succeeding in freeing oneself from one’s past, one’s mistakes, one’s surroundings is an act of perseverance, honesty, moderation. So becoming perfect in 7 lessons, finding the love of your life in 30 days and becoming a millionaire in 6 months, it may be possible. But when that is the case, you have to look at all the steps you have taken before.

It’ll take years to pull off the biggest job of your life in a single day. It will take hours of work for the result to appear in minutes. Selling perfection in 5 lessons is half the truth, because it may take 5 years to apply those 5 lessons. In the meantime, all your projects can be changed by a beautiful meeting, a birth, a decisive reading or worse, a crisis, a war, a natural disaster.

We must take into account the hazards of life that feed the fabric of our experience. You don’t have to be perfect to inspire others. Let others be inspired by how you deal with your imperfections.

« For everything there is a fixed time »

Imagine a coach of our decade who would have said to the universe at the time of the Big Bang: I have a miracle solution for the perfect future you deserve. In just 7 days, I can turn this mess into a perfect life and just apply a few secret principles of success and the result is guaranteed. It reminds me of a story: the creation story where the coach would be God. Coaching wants to make us creative gods! Wonderful!

But where is the balance, because if a hippie coach had said to the universe at the time of the Big Bang: « my brother lets it go, trust the process, peace, it will work itself out ». In that case, there would have been a good chance that the result would have looked like a work of contemporary art. I would probably be writing this article with my feet, with one eye like a Cyclops and ears on my hands.

Life is like the bicycle would have said Einstein, you have to move forward to keep your balance. So turn your back on the fear of missing an opportunity, stick your tongue out in front of all these demands for immediate success. In any case, these coaches need you and you can consult them later when time has tested their legitimacy.

Take the time to move forward on the path of life, move backwards if necessary to jump better and take a break to start again. Opt for a slow evolution rather than a magical creation. Who knows! In your life you may eat an apple, like Eve, that will change the course of your life forever. And then you may need a Prince Charming to come and set you free like in the tale of Snow White.

Years of experience allow you to acquire personal enrichment that will gradually define a balance. The ability to make the right decision at the right time can come from a dazzling intuition that is likely to be nourished by a wealth of experience. You will then be able to obtain a perfect result as a sculptor polishing his work to complete satisfaction. The number of experiences you choose to live will accelerate your personal enrichment.

Everything in its time, because when the decisive moment has come it can be decisive for your future. The fear of missing an opportunity will not help you to live THE good experience. « It is not good to misunderstand; to rush is to miss your goal. » The sum of your experiences will develop in you a sense of balance.

Take time to make mistakes and you will learn faster. Perfect, but not the way you think.

7 days a week = 6 days for #capitalism and 1 day for #rest

Pursue the promise of a tomorrow that shines. Slowly but surely go at your own pace, each to his own path, each to his own life. By choosing when to speed up and slow down, you can regulate the rhythm of your life according to your experiences.

Alternating between periods of action and rest to regain one’s rhythm is the aim of the Masterclass.
