Would You Choose A Real Teacher of Life over A Life Coach?

Amusingly, 'life coach', 'business coaching', personal mentoring have become buzz words in recent times.

Historically, the word 'coaching' has exclusively belong to the domain of the sporting world. It has now extended itself in the realm of life and business coaching in the commercial world

It is easy for anyone to carve out a career of becoming a coach or mentor. Simply study for a coaching certificate or diploma. No experience required!

Generally, a life coach or business coach tells you what you ought to do based on acquired franchised knowledge.

You follow the steps a life coach or business mentor gives you to the letter.

You are to temporarily suspend your own knowledge, judgment and experience.

In short, you cede power to your coach.......

Of course, not all life coaches or business mentors graduate from franchised knowledge.

Many graduate from the school of hard knocks, succeeded, failed, and succeeded again.

This latter group come endowed with the conviction and confidence of their prized experience and wisdom.

These are the ones who walk their talk; who teach of methods tried and tested.

These are the ones that are deserving of the honour of being called ’Teachers of Life’.

Even among these deserving ones, teachers of life fall into two categories:

Those who have become household names owing in no small measure by the support and exposure given by the media and the powers that be.

And there are those who are known to others by word of mouth.

It is the latter category - those who have made a name for themselves through word of mouth - that I have benefited most from the depths and gems of their sharing. I liken them to ‘real teachers of life’.

These are ordinary beings like you and me. They have no airs about them. They do not hog the limelight. Yet you recognise them as truly special.

If you ever cross path with such an individual, you are indeed blessed. Make the most of your time with such a being. Your life will truly transform!

I have been fortunate and grateful to have known Edwin Carl Smith.

I have known him through his book ‘Do You See What I See?’ In that time before his second book ‘Relentless Love’ was published in 2004, I had corresponded with Edwin on a number of life issues.

There are life challenges that are easily resolved at the objective brain level. Here the so-called franchised life coach or mentor that I mentioned above are probably well-equipped to help.

There are also life challenges that would require diving into the depths of your being for resolution. Here you will do well to sought the guidance from ‘real teachers of life'.

I was never left disappointed each time with Edwin’s advice and insights into the nature of my life issues. I felt he had been able to intuitively understand what was my core issue and help me unlearn what was preventing me from moving forward.

Edwin freely shares with those who have a sincere and committed interest in their own transformation.

What you will learn from him is indeed priceless. You gradually learn to open up to a life of possibilities as you relax yourself into being fully human; fully alive to life.

With this as your newly discovered core paradigm, how you choose to live from being a consumer of life to being a creator of your life’s experiences is left absolutely up to you.

Use your power wisely for health, wealth and success. And give back to society health, wealth and success.
