The Passion Coach

Something extreme happened to me today.

I was in my destructive mood earlier in the day, feeling really lousy that I was stuck at this point in my life for so long, without gaining the clarity on how to get out of my stuckness. The worst part was, I didn't know who I could turn to for help, and I kept feeling helpless about my sense of uselessness. It felt like other than my work, everything else in my world was in pieces and I felt dysfunctional. When I was in that state of self-destruction, it felt really terrible, and all i could see were walls, barriers and obstacles. No solution. I felt like giving up on myself and a part of me was dead.

Later in the evening, I met up with my coachee, Zee (Name is changed). At least, I was professional enough to block out and put aside my own shit and be strong for Zee. Before her TCC, she was someone depressed about life. She was stuck with self-doubt for the longest time, and dare not dream. If there were a few words to describe who she were, it would be that she was someone whom lost her passion about life. Today, almost 6 weeks after coaching her, she works hard on her dreams. She just showed me her art piece with raw passion, and she is filled with pride. For the 1st time after so long, she is living her dreams, she is fighting for her passion, she is strong enough to beat self-doubt. Her eyes sparkles as she shares with me her dream projects. As she gains more clarity each day about herself, she gains more wisdom and power from within.

I was overwhelmed by her passion. Isn't it ironic that I called myself, "The Passion Coach" and I lacked the passion in my life right now? It's so ironic that I was able to cause passion in her, among other coachees, but I lost faith in myself. Actually, coaching them wasn't that difficult. These ppl. lost their fight because they didn't believe in themselves. What I stood for them is faith. I believe in them. And as my belief in them was so great, over time, they worked on themselves and they grew stronger. Eventually, they began to believe in themselves so much more.

As I inspire Zee in some ways, she inspires me in return as well. After all, if I can believe in her, I can believe in myself too. If I can cause passion in someone else's life, I can cause passion in my life too.

Pick yourself up dear... never give up believing in yourself. Be "The Passion Coach".
