Some Witnessing Questions

Here is are a few questions I got somewhere.  They aim at promoting a conversation without being provacative.  If you use them let me know how it went.

1. Do you have any kind of spiritual belief? 
2. To you, who is Jesus?
3. Do you think there is a heaven or a hell?
4. If you died at this moment, where would you go?
5. If what you believe is not the truth,  would you want to know it?

Encouragingly, Coach Charles

Genesis 25 Msg.

Even though Abraham remarried (to Keturah) he still bestowed all his property to Isaac and then gave gifts to the sons he had by concubines. In his 175 years, Abraham had learned much. "He died happy, at a ripe old age, full of years." Note, however, in the second paragraph, which is about Ismael, there is no mention of God. The third paragraph in this chapter talks about Isaac, his two sons, who were to be the foundation of much of the rest of the Bible. Isaac had two sons, of whom Jacob, though not a man of character, but extremly competent, was to be the heir through the King would come. His brother had shrugged off what would have been his, and later regretted it, as less than important. One wonders what would be if the brothers would just left where it fell out. Lord, help me to not make the mistake of replacing your plans with my desires.

A Few thoughts on a fulfilling life

Os Guinness in his book A Long Journey Home, p.67, lists these elements of a fulfilling life:

1. A sense of personal identity.
2. A strong sense of mission and purpose.
3. A deep sense of faith and meaning.

How do you do in these senses?

That's all folks.

Do what you do best or make it the best

1. What one thing, more than any other, will make today a great day?

2. What is the most important one thing for me to get done today?

3. Who do I need to call or hug or talk with to make today the best it can be?

4. What temptation or distraction am I likely to face today, and how will I respond if it happens?

The above are borrowed, from whom I do not know.

5. Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul and mind.

Having a Mentor

Do you have another person in your life who deeply cares for you, and who is not married to you, yet has substantial input so as to influence how you are in the world.  We all need help, if for no other reason that we don't know it all ourselves and thus others give us much support, love and advice.  Some times this is a teacher, a pastor or collegue.  Who mentors you?  Who are you mentoring/

I have had a long series of mentors, learning much from each othem.  I am a better person because they cared and generously gave me their life.  In the few times where I tried to get there by myself, I struggled, and failed, often miserably.  But when I had someone to be accountable to, I was greatly stinulated and encouraged.

I think that I can clearly say that I am today because I rode on the shoulders of those who gave themselves to me and for me.

Jesus Christ is the chief of these and I am still pursuing Him.  Would that you too seek Him.

Lack of direction

All too often, according to my interaction with businesses for the past twenty years is the problem of having a concise, clear sense of direction.  Often the problem is that there are conflicting goals that interfere with accomplishing any of them or doing anything worth doing.  If you go everywhere at the same time, you go nowhere.  Have fun, because that is all that is left.

I do coach businesses and can help you get out of this position, if this your problem.

Expectations from your life coach

What to Expect from Your Life Coach.

 

I don't remember where I got this, but it helps understand what I do:

A life coach is a valuable asset and often proves to be more than worth whatever cost in time, effort and money it demands.  It is a way to engage people in their own development, to improve what they actually are doing, achieve personal success, aims and meet challenges in life and work.   Life coaching is an alternative to making all the mistakes yourself and is effective in all kinds of ways, from personal life, career, sales, to corporate and business life.

 

How does a life coach  do this?

 

A life coach….

…listens to you.  They guide the conversation some, but are not imposing their values on you.

…is interested in your life, wishes, dreams, opinions, beliefs and goals.

…is there to encourage and to support you in your daily efforts to achieve your goals. …will guide you through sorting out what is important to you NOW and what can be put off or eliminated.

…will help you design a course of action for achieving your aim.  They will facilitate individual steps of action to help you on your way.  It is all about you, and not about the coach.

…will be absolutely honest with you, about your life, goals and direction when you need it.

…provide accountability.  They will ask you how you are doing.

…will provide a fresh perspective.  This encouragement to look at it differently is often key to accomplishment.

…will trust you do make your own decisions.  A coach is not there to fix you, or heal your past, but to help you engage your future, starting now.  They, therefore will support your decisions, not make them for you.

 

What more could you ask for?  Incidentally, most coaching is life coaching, even if it is called business or professional coaching.  So, if you consider yourself a business person or a professional, a life coach can be in there with you for your future.
