Whenever there are auditions for a new play, many are hoping for the lead roles, but where would we be without the other supporting roles that must also be cast? We need a writer of the play, and the directors. And even when it’s a one-man show, we need the valuable support of those that change the scenery, open and close the curtains, run the lights, the sound, and assist with makeup and costume changes. (Remember the famous line: “There are no small roles…” Each is important to the story.) We need the ticket takers, the printers for the programs and tickets, and the costume designers. We need the ushers and those that keep things neat and clean. And that’s just to mention a few of what’s needed to make a successful show. And don’t forget the audience. Where would we be without them?
We need each other’s gifts, talents, and strengths…in a play and in life. God purposefully designed the rules of life. He designed that each of us would have a valuable role in our family, our job, our church, and our neighborhood. It’s easy to forget that.
Let’s start 2012 well. Live the life you were designed to live. Discover your strengths. One way to do that is to find a Life Coach who is a Strengths Coach, certified and trained to give the Leading From Your Strengths assessment consultations, with the emphasis on learning to walk fully in your God-given design. This Strengths Coach is someone who can help you discover God’s best plan for your life.
Maybe going into 2012 means challenging changes in your life…like starting a business, homeschooling, or sensing a call to pastor a flock Maybe you want to start a blog so you can express yourself in a new way. Or maybe there’s the need to downsize and simplify because of circumstances. Maybe you have the desire for a closer walk with God. Maybe you’re a missionary…or want to be one. Maybe you’re returning from a military tour/tours overseas. Maybe there’s been job loss or divorce and you want to find yourself…Your Best Self…the one designed by your Creator.
Whatever describes you where you are now…whether it’s listed above or something entirely different that you want to sort out in your life…working with a Life Coach, can get 2012 off to a really good start.
Lots of people are talking about New Year Resolutions. What are your dreams, your visions for a brighter & more fulfilling tomorrow? Rather than making resolutions that often are soon cast aside, what are your true intentions? What WILL you do in 2011 to make your life better? To move toward your goals? To realize your dreams, you must resolve to give up something lesser in order to gain something better. Resolve to move forward with a Life Coach in 2012. We’re not meant to do life alone.
It’s a New Year and time for a fresh start.
“For we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing acording to the grace that is given to us, let us use them…” Romans 12:4-6a
