Help is Everywhere and IT Wants YOU!
Last week, I picked up a copy of Open Exchange – The Bay Area’s Premier Healthy Living Magazine.
It’s been a while since I looked through this publication and I have never hooked up with a professional or service provider through the ads or articles. Flipping through Open Exchange, I soon found myself amused, delighted and intrigued by the ad/article topics, tag lines and teaser questions:
- Personal growth… and professional success
- Looking to change your life and build a more secure future?
- It’s a soul thing
- Changing lives …one bite at a time
- Come Home to Your Self
- Do you feel lonely in the world?
- Do you want to look and feel better as you age?
- Experience your highest consciousness
- You don’t have to live with pain
- Create your chosen future
- Are you ready to transform your life?
- Are you ready to go to your next level?
- Are you bored, frustrated or insecure at work?
- Allow your dreams to become your reality.
- What goals dance on your horizon but never seem in reach?
- Are you living with authenticity?
- Coaching for tough times
- The universe has an outrageous agenda for you.
- Love, intimacy and sexuality. What is it?
- Have you had a spiritual experience.
Well, the list goes on and on. The publication seems to be 90% ad content where you can have an article published along with your ad. I found my friend, Kamila Harkavy, in this issue. Kamila is a money mastery coach. You can follow her blog – Thrivelocity.
Kamila’s article in this issue of Open Exchange was titled – Why Get Coaching? In the article she points out 3 reasons why she continues to get coaching even after years of personal development work. I especially liked: 2. I am sure to produce a much more substantial return on investment than any stock, bond or other transactional investment.
Investing time, energy and money into our growth & development is the best investment we can make – I believe that as much as Kamila does. A wise investment is exploring our belief system, attitudes and preferences that keep the same old cyclical dynamics running. What I see in many of the ads is an appeal to ego renovation. That’s where we slap a new coat of paint on the house, but the person living within remains unchanged.
Real change is often upsetting because the old me (identity) is dissolved to some degree. Which challenges that ego refrain – I want to be me, I want to be me…
What are you if not you?
