The Stress of Always Looking

If you are anything like me, you are someone who is always searching for the answers. The problem is, we can get stuck always searching and never become happy with any of the answers we find. In my early years I would go from seminar to seminar trying to figure out the right way to live my life. In my middle years I would go from seminar to seminar trying to figure out the right way to live my life. Now( well still in my middle years), I decided that I know enough.

So you can see how we can stress ourselves out trying to be perfect, trying to find out all the right answers. The secret is realizing that you already have all the answers. More than likely you know enough to come up with the right solution. If you don't, that is where a good coach comes in. A good coach points you in the right direction for the answers you need, and then makes sure you follow through. Mostly what a good coach does is uncover the answers you already have. They help you discover your own inner talents and resources. By doing that, you start to take the stress of searching off your back.

P.S.

Now I stated in the beginning of this post that I know enough. I wanted to let you know that I do not know everything. So if you are looking for someone that knows where those keys you lost back in 1998 are, that person is not me. I still do my fair share of studying and researching, but when it comes to making decisions I am confident in what I know and confident in where to go for help if I need it.

Wishing you the best,

Dr. John Zipp
