There are people in the world who revel in other people’s misery.  They constantly laugh about those in hardship, or those who are a worse position than themselves.  Kind words of encouragement do not escape their lips, rather they are critical and happy that another is on lower ground than they themselves appear to be.

Am I happy when I find someone in hardship?  Absolutely.  I get excited.  In fact the more problems you have the more excited I become. Here is why.

Working with a client who is hitting home runs and making things happen is great.  My role with such a person is to offer a little bit of steering and a little guidance.

Contrast that with a client who is pathetic.

There are some people who have so many challenges that it makes a mine field feel like a patch of paradise.

I met with a man who was overweight.  He was struggling financially.  Had no job.  His marriage was on the rocks.  He was struggling with depression.  He had no direction or purpose in life.

THAT GOT ME SO EXCITED.  This is such a happy moment for me because I know that as a life coach I can absolutely help this man get back onto his feet.  I know that if I just move him 1% in a positive direction that his life will become unrecognisable in a really short amount of time.  I know that when he unlocks his incredible self, something magical will happen as he moves toward a happy and fulfilling life.

The more down and out you are, the happier I become.  This is because I look and see the internal potential of a human being.  I really do believe that each of us has divinity living inside of us. When we unlock this, life will change forever and will never be the same again.
