A relationship can hold the most value in your search for your calling, but what kind of relationship?
This week is part 5, Finding Your Calling.
Books, meetings, church...even your spouse, are valuable for you to find your calling. But a relationship with the right person, at the right time is invaluable. Ever heard the old phrase, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear?
There is magic to be found in the pursuit of something. That is, genuinely searching for answers produces the magic. The world has a way of holding onto answers until a person is truly ready.
There are people everywhere who want answers. The problem is, they are willing to do little, if anything, to get them. This includes seeking a meaningful relationship with a person who can effectively mentor and coach them. Why on earth would someone invest time and even pay someone whom they have never met or known very well? Because they have invaluable information you do not have and they did not get it by luck or chance, but by pursuit.
The answers to what you are seeking are not mysteries. They do however tend to be clothed in camouflage. Answers do not appear for everyone. I have read that answers are reserved for those who have to know, not merely want to know.
Coaches and mentors have been a part of my life for many years, even back to a time when I didn't know that's what they were. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a dad or a mom who made a good coach. Other people stepped up to help guide me when I needed it. In my twenties, I realized just how much of an asset they were. John Maxwell says: “What you learn is important but who you learn it from is even more important.”
The key is to find one who you trust and feel in-sync with. My friend Tammi Brannan created the Instinctive Life several years ago. Her site, http://www.instinctivelife.com/ is dedicated to help people see their natural instinctive abilities, traits, thoughts and likes, then set them on a course in that direction.
Author Lori Chance coaches those who want to write their first book. http://www.authorshipforexperts.com/home/. There can be many landmines and pitfalls in writing your first book and taking on the task alone could prove to be overwhelming. Irregardless, both of these ladies have a tremendous amount of value to offer when it comes to finding some of life’s answers. The insight, wisdom and knowledge of having a coach is a great way to find the answers you are searching for.
I once heard Dr. Mike Murdock share that everything you are wanting is only a relationship away. The right person in the right season of your life can help advance you further than you could ever dream possible. I can say this because I have experienced it.
Next week, we will do an overview on the topic of finding your calling. Until then, write down what actions you are going to take to move forward with finding your calling. We will touch base on those then.
Have a great Memorial Weekend everyone, be blessed.
