On speaking to prospective clients, I love to say I'll help them find the ‘best’ version of themselves. But is that actually what I mean? Sure, some will go from the deepest of depths to huge personal triumphs - but in reality, maybe it's more realistic to say I’ll help them to find a 'better' version of themselves instead.
However is, ‘better’ a good enough goal? I mean who doesn't want to be healthier, wealthier, more successful and more loved?
There's nothing worse than feeling inadequate in any of the above areas, except possibly being told of those shortcomings by family members or so-called friends. Your own four walls, can be a tough environment and I find it hard to comprehend how badly treated some folk are by their nearest and dearest.
Then again people are cruel aren't they?
So, maybe the root to a better lifestyle is to look at the people around you, the one’s you’ve chosen to surround yourself with. How do they affect how you see yourself? I’ve always been very selective, and the energy vampires of this world are literally the first thing to go into my Room 101. Best is if you have them, jettison and replace - it’s very satisfying process.
And it doesn't matter if that leaves you quite alone as it's better to be without then, I believe. There are 8 billion other people out there that might be a better life support system.
Then when you find the right people it's a whole lot easier to tick off, wealth, career and personal goals fresh in the mind that the unsupportive scorn and derision you once relied on, has been left far behind.
Now with that in mind, are you looking for the ‘Best’ version or a ‘Better’ version of yourself - you decide, and I'm happy to have that first conversation of a new life with you.
