I know what I'm grateful for:
1ļøā£ A supportive and loving husband who stands by my side through thick and thin.
2ļøā£ Healthy and happy kids who bring joy and laughter into my life every day.
3ļøā£ A job that I truly love, where I can contribute my skills and passions.
4ļøā£ The privilege of residing in one of the most beautiful and safe places in the world.
5ļøā£ A roof over my head, providing shelter and comfort.
6ļøā£ Food on my plate, nourishing my body and sustaining me.
But for some reason, even though I am deeply grateful for these blessings, I still find myself yearning for more. For a long time, I struggled with the opposing side of the gratitude coin. I would beat myself up, feeling guilty and ashamed of my desire for more.
š¹ Coaching helped me realise that just because I want more doesn't make me a bad or ungrateful person. It's natural to have ambitions and aspirations that extend beyond our current circumstances. Through coaching, I've learned to navigate this inner conflict and embrace a mindset of growth and gratitude simultaneously.
Coaching has helped me in the following ways:
ā Shifted my perspective: Coaching has enabled me to see that gratitude and ambition can coexist harmoniously. I've learned to appreciate the present while setting my sights on the future.
ā Embraced self-compassion: Instead of berating myself for wanting more, coaching has taught me to be kinder to myself. It's okay to have dreams and desires; it's part of being human.
ā Defined my values and goals: Coaching has provided me with the tools to explore my core values and align them with my aspirations. This clarity has empowered me to pursue my dreams with purpose.
ā Celebrated progress: With the guidance of my coach, I've learned to acknowledge and celebrate the milestones I've achieved along the way. Each step forward is a testament to my growth and resilience.
ā Cultivated a growth mindset: Coaching has helped me embrace the idea that personal growth is a lifelong journey. By adopting a growth mindset, I continue to learn, evolve, and chase my dreams without losing sight of gratitude.
Reflecting on my journey, I am immensely grateful for the support and guidance I've received through coaching. It has been instrumental in helping me embrace the paradox of gratitude and ambition, allowing me to pursue my dreams while appreciating the blessings in my life.
