THE SPIRIT OF MY COACHING PRACTICE

I found this quote which really expresses my approach to working with people. If you are new to this website, blog, or the whole idea of working with me as a life coach. This quote captures the essence of my approach...

"We need someone to believe in us -- if we do well, we want our work commended, our faith corroborated. The individual who thinks well of you, who keeps his mind on your good qualities, and does not look for your flaws, is your friend. Who is my brother? I'll tell you: he is the one who recognizes the good in me." -- Elbert Hubbard

MORE LOVE

"O tell her, brief is life but love is long." -- Lord Alfred Tennyson

LOVE

I believe that the reason of life is for each of us simply to grow in love.

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)
Writer

KINDNESS

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." -- Dr. Leo Buscaglia

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." -- Edith Wharton

"Kind words and good deeds are eternal. You never know where their influence will end." -- H. Jackson Browne

"You will regret many things in life but you will never regret being too kind or too fair." -- Brian Tracy

HOPE FOR THE NEW YEAR - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope." -- Alexander Dumas

"Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again." -- Sarah Ban Breathnach

"Whenever hope and illusion become the source of the will to live, all knowledge of reality becomes highly threatening, since at any time a new piece of information might remove the grounds for this hope. When life is motivated by hope for improvement, denial of reality is necessarily renewed and fortified. -- Christina Thurmer-Rohr

"Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable." -- Samuel Johnson
