Embracing Life's Awakening: The Transformative Power of Coaching

Embracing Life's Awakening: The Transformative Power of Coaching

Inspired by the song, “The Other Side” from The Greatest Showman”

(The Lyrics: Bottom of Blog)

In a world often dictated by routine and societal expectations, many find themselves navigating life on autopilot, trapped in the repetitive rhythm of daily existence. This echoes the sentiment beautifully expressed in the powerful lyrics of the song “The Other Side” from The Greatest Showman, a narrative that resonates deeply with our shared human experience—seeking an awakening, a breakthrough that liberates us from the mundane and propels us toward a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.

For years, the term "mid-life crisis" has carried a negative connotation, often associated with an individual's desperate attempt to reclaim lost youth or find a newfound identity. What if we viewed this pivotal point not as a crisis but as an awakening—an opportunity for self-discovery, growth, and transformation? I believe in reframing this concept, advocating for a "Mid-life Awakening," a shift that aligns more with personal revelation than crisis.

Having experienced the crisis, by way of ignoring the Awakening,  I now envision a world where individuals break free from the hypnotic rhythm of monotonous living and embrace their full potential at their earliest availability. This vision isn't just for those in a so-called mid-life phase, but for anyone seeking to break free from limitations, redefine their purpose, and step into a life of authenticity and fulfillment.

The lyrics of “The Other Side” inspire me in my pursuit and I hope they will do the same for you. They speak volumes about breaking free from the shackles of conformity, taking the road less traveled, and experiencing life in its most vibrant and authentic form. My wife, Jana, and I resonate deeply with this message, as it encapsulates the very essence of what we, as life coaches, aspire to achieve for our clients—a life lived on their terms, awakening their inner desires and passions.

The process of awakening is a universal journey that can come about through deliberate introspection or be prompted by life's unexpected twists and turns. At LivingLucky®, we believe that everyone, at some point, experiences this call for change, this whisper from within that beckons for a more authentic and purpose-driven life.

As an elite Life Coach, I’m dedicated to guiding individuals through this transformative journey. A coach acts as a catalyst, providing support, encouragement, and the necessary tools to facilitate personal growth and self-discovery. Coaching isn't solely about problem-solving; it's about unleashing one's full potential and aligning life choices with personal aspirations.

As life coaches, we extend an offer, not to chase you down but to illuminate the path that you might already sense within. Even as I write this, I’m thinking of Einstein saying, “the problem won’t be solved by the same level of thinking that created it.” We all encounter those subtle insights, the whisper of our true desires and answers in life, nudging us toward change. The decision lies in whether we grasp these moments and allow them to sculpt our lives or whether we retreat into the comfort of familiar routines, often falling back into the hypnotic sameness we've grown accustomed to, the “comfort zone”.

I truly hope you enjoy some of these lyrics as much as I do. Can you feel them?

"I don't wanna chase you down, but I know you see it." These words reflect the universal truth that we each hold the key to our transformation. We invite you to run alongside us, offering to cut you free from the drudgery and self-imposed walls that confine you. It's about trading the typical, the expected, for something vibrant, something that might seem a bit wild or unconventional. Living a little crazy might just be the spark that lights the fire of authenticity within.

"Do you want to get away from the same old part you gotta play?" It's a question that lingers in the air, resonating with the desire to break free from the roles we've been assigned and to step into a life that truly reflects our essence.

"Stay in the cage or you'll finally take the key. Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly." These lines capture the essence of liberation, highlighting the moment when one decides to break free from self-imposed constraints. The choice is between remaining confined or finally seizing the opportunity for personal flight and freedom.

"Finally live a little, finally laugh a little. Just let me give you the freedom to dream." This is the invitation to embrace life more fully, to embrace joy and laughter, and to allow oneself the liberty to dream and pursue those dreams with fervor. What if you could see over the wall in your mind that separates what it possible from what is impossible? What if the wall was removed altogether? It’s about shattering the walls that hold you back, a deal that truly seems worth taking.

The choice to break free, to live authentically, and to awaken lies within each of us. It's an invitation, an opportunity extended to anyone ready to embrace change, break free from limitations, and explore the uncharted territories of their true selves.

As you read these words, take a moment to reflect. Are you truly living fully, authentically, and in alignment with your deepest aspirations? Do you feel inspired, invigorated, and, in a word, "lucky" to be living the life you lead? Or are you experiencing a tug from within, a sensation that there's more, that there's a path untraveled waiting for your footprints?

Living Lucky® embodies more than just chance or fate. It's a state of being. It's the sensation of waking up each day with purpose, passion, and a clear direction. It's about being in sync with one's desires, feeling fulfilled in your chosen endeavors, and embracing life with enthusiasm. It’s the “knowing” of your alignment and ability to create your amazing reality that gives you confidence, swagger, and community.

We invite you to explore what might be holding you back from living a life you'd consider truly fortunate. What barriers stand in the way of your utmost happiness, fulfillment, and the pursuit of your dreams? These barriers can range from fear of the unknown, societal pressures, self-doubt, or simply being stuck in the rut of routine.

I work with a hundreds of coaches on a weekly basis in some of my contracted work for group coaching. For the coaches among us, consider this a call to action. Your role as a life coach is profound and influential. You're not just a guide; you're a catalyst for transformation. Your craft and skillsets aren't just about helping others solve problems; they're about unlocking the door to their true potential.

As a coach, you possess the power to ignite the spark of change in your clients. Your expertise, empathy, and guidance serve as the bridge between where your clients are and where they dream of being. It's about instilling confidence, helping them overcome obstacles, and empowering them to step into their truest selves.

Now is the time to recognize the immense potential within you, as a reader seeking change or as a coach fostering change in others. Embrace the idea that change is not just possible; it's necessary for growth. It's about stepping out of the shadows of doubt and complacency and into the light of transformation and self-actualization.

Living Lucky® isn't about a stroke of luck; it's about actively crafting the life you desire and deserve. It's about reaching out, whether as a reader seeking guidance or a coach eager to empower. It's about fostering a community of individuals ready to take charge of their destinies, breaking free from the ordinary and stepping into the extraordinary.

The Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Singer 2 Hugh Jackman]
Right here, right now, I put the offer out

I don't wanna chase you down but I know you see it

You run with me and I can cut you free

Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in

So trade that typical for somethin' colorful

And if it's crazy, live a little crazy

You can play it sensible, a king of conventional

Or you can risk it all and see

[Chorus: Singer 2]

Don't you wanna get away

From the same old part you gotta play

'Cause I got what you need so come with me and take the ride

It'll take you to the other side

'Cause you can do like you do or you can do like me

Stay in the cage or you'll finally take the key

Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly

It'll take you to the other side

[Verse 2: Singer 1 Zac Efron]

Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in

Well, I hate to tell you but it just won't happen

So thanks, but no, I think I'm good to go

'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in

Now I admire you and that whole show you do

You're onto somethin', really, it's somethin'

But I live among the swells and we don't pick up peanut shells

I'll have to leave that up to you

[Chorus: Singer 1]

Don't you know that I'm okay

With this uptown part I get to play

'Cause I got what I need and I don't wanna take the ride

I don't need to see the other side

So go and do like you do, I'm good to do like me

Ain't in a cage so I don't need to take the key

Oh, damn, can't you see I'm doin' fine?

I don't need to see the other side

[Bridge: Singer 2 & Singer 1]

Singer 2: Now is this really how you like to spend your days?

Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays

Singer 1: If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town

Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

Singer 2: But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little

Just let me give you the freedom to dream

And it'll wake you up and cure your achin'

Take your walls and start 'em breakin'

Now that's a deal that seems worth takin'

But I guess I'll leave that up to you

[Verse 3: Singer 1 & Singer 2]

Singer 1: Well, it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly

So what percentage of the show would I be taking?

Singer 2: Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action

I’d give you seven, we could shake and make it happen

Singer : I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine

Singer 2: Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?

Singer 1: Fifteen

Singer 2: I’d do eight

Singer 1: Twelve

Singer 2: Maybe nine

Singer 1 and 2: Ten

[Chorus: Both, Singer 1, Singer 2]

Don't you wanna get away

To a whole new part you're gonna play?

'Cause I got what you need so come with me and take the ride

To the other side

So we can do like I do, so if you do like me

Forget the cage 'cause we know how to make the key

Oh, damn, suddenly we're free to fly

We're goin' to the other side

[Outro: Singer 1, Singer 2, Both]

So if you do like I do (To the other side)

So if you do like me (We're goin' to the other side)

'Cause if we do, we're goin' to the other side

We're goin' to the other side
