Life Coaching: Do What Makes You Happy

Have you ever asked yourself, "Do what makes me happy?" What has been the response from yourself or others? If you haven't, ask yourself, "Do you ever wonder how you could have chosen to live a happy life instead of just working hard to earn your paycheck?" The answer is always "No." It's just that the way we choose to live our lives is drastically different from the way others choose to live theirs. What makes you happy is what can support you in achieving your life goals and helping you live the kind of happy life you desire.


I am writing this article as my own view of what being happy means to me. When I read many books and articles on happiness, I find myself coming away with different answers than those offered by people who are famous psychologists. For instance, the famous Dr. Bennington says, "Being happy is knowing that you matter and that your happiness is worth living." I completely agree with that, but then he goes on to say, "You must be willing to do the things that will help you get there."

My take on this quote is: "Do what makes you happy and then figure out a way to make it happen." People seem to think happiness means living in luxury for a short period of time. It's like saying that running a marathon is a great experience because you will feel great when you do it. This is not the way to live a happy life. You must be willing to do the things that will help you achieve your goals and being happy then comes naturally.

If you are like most people, money is important. Therefore, it is likely that you will feel guilty if you are not able to buy the things that you want. If that is the case, I have some advice for you. Instead of feeling guilty, think of all of the things you would love to purchase and make that purchase now. If you decide not to make the purchase, then you are only going to regret that decision in the future.

Another thing that many people do not understand about happiness is that it is not an event. Many people believe that as long as they are happy, it is only temporary. That is so wrong! A happy life is a happy life no matter what the circumstances are. Achieving things and moving forward is something that is bound to happen no matter what.

The key to happiness is to find the best tools necessary to help you reach your goals and keep that goal in sight. It does not matter if you are running a marathon or working at a factory, reaching your goals is vital to your overall well being. I am not saying that you should sit around wishing that things were different. But, if you are not happy with your current situation, then it may be time to look for ways to make your life the way that you want it to be. The old adage "actions speak louder than words" is very true when it comes to reaching your goals and staying happy.

When you have a life coach, you can ask them all of the questions you have about happy living and they will be able to provide you with the answers that you seek. Life coaching is very powerful and can change your life because it provides you with the ability to take action. When you are able to take action, you accomplish things. When you are capable of accomplishing things, you have more opportunities to be happy in your life because you will always know where you are going and how you are getting there.


I urge you to make use of a life coach if you are truly seeking to live a happy life. Do not sit around and wish that things were different. It will never happen. You must take action and make things happen. With a little bit of help and support, you can be on your way to a truly happy life.
