I haven’t posted in a long time, I’m not exactly sure why
not. But it’s time to clear up some
things about my intention and purpose.
I am NOT a coach.
Repeat – NOT. A. COACH.
Yes, I have gifts that need to be shared, and yes I have a
larger purpose that I need to follow.
But it is NOT. COACHING.
Today was the hilarious punctuation mark on “NO, I AM NOT A
COACH.” My social media today has been
full of “special people” who call themselves various forms of “life coach,” all
of whom embody the adage “Those who can’t do, teach.” Especially when it comes to “life.” None of these clowns has a real job, they’re
not making any real money from their “coaching,” their lives are barely an
existence, they’re broke, they have family trouble, their Facebook pages scream
“rapist and child molester.”
And guess what they all have down for their profession? Yep, “Life Coach.” Or some iteration of this.
When you see enough of the same pattern, it’s the
reality. And as I’m seeing one after the
other of this hilarious parade of stupid, I realize MY OWN Facebook STILL had
some BS “life coach” line, among the list of my actual jobs that pay or paid
real money. In fact it’s still on this
blog.
Well, it’s gone now.
That was never who I was and it’s NOT who I am. I actually have a real job that is crafted
from a professional career that spans many years. I’m educated, trained,
productive, successful, and pulling in money to support myself and my family. I am a burden to nobody. I have NEVER gone on Facebook hocking or
begging to friends for my existence. And
I’ll be damned if I’m going to be associated with the deadweight of society
that hilariously calls itself “Life Coaches” when they suck at life. Loudly.
I have gifts and insight to share. Yes, I have things I can impart that help
others, and I do. I may even charge for
these services from time to time as the opportunity arises. But that’s not my identity nor my
profession. The whole “New Age Life
Coaching” movement is a corrupt cesspool, and it is NOT ME. My higher calling is in a different
vein. It’s writing, it’s sharing
insights, it’s basically updating on what happens in my life for the benefit of
others.
If someone else wants to integrate these life lessons into a
coaching program, go nuts. It’s open
source, feel free to take what you want and use as you see fit. If there’s demand, I’ll come back to certain
subjects and add more. But the Life
Coaching industry has become so polluted and such a spectacular failure that to
even mention myself as such corrupts my energy.
So I’m burning the title, which I never owned and never
liked. I’m disavowing the New Age
Coaching profession in all its forms – again, never resonated for me and it’s
clear now why. Good riddance to all of
it.
What about guys like Rion, Etienne and Radoslav? They’re still worthwhile if you’re called
forth toward what they stand for. But
they’re unique in that they actually have clarity around what they stand
for. The profession doesn’t stand for a
damn thing except playing on wounds to take money.
A few people stand for a higher vision and call forth others
to follow them. The Life Coaches make
people feel insecure (“You’re not getting laid, you’re broke, you’re unhappy,
give me money to take your mind off the problems you didn’t have until I
convinced you that you had a problem!”) and then waste their time and money with
distractions and never accomplish anything, leaving the person worse off. Nobody needs that, and nobody who values themselves
would want to be associated with that toxic garbage. And I don’t.
So enjoy my insights, use them as you see fit. Don’t call me coach.
P.S. Someone complained I was posting something “not out of
love” when I called out a spiritual fraud.
Here’s my response:
I'm going to call a
fraud a fraud. There are far too many New Age "coaches" and other
spiritual deadwood polluting the world with their shams or sucking on everyone
else's energy. It needs to stop. As far as I'm concerned that is me speaking from
love - love for what is good and right in the face of spiritual perversion. If
it bothers people, I think that's a good thing. We need that.
There you have it.
That’s my truth and my higher purpose.
Shining light on darkness, being a solution, not part of the problem.
