PURPOSE
OF NEED
Modern
society is plagued by a number of seemingly intractable problems
such as: work, family, relationships, violence, racial discord,
crime and others.
To Carl Jung, at the root of these various problems
lies an underlying cause: people have lost a sense of Life's
purpose, meaning and connection with the Divine.
Regaining this connection and sense of meaning and
purpose requires a profound change in the culture. One that
supports people in learning impulse control, responsibility,
self-knowledge and ultimately, the discovery of higher purpose.
The effective of this spiritual support will greatly increase
if principles applied are rooted in universal truths rather
than local dogma.

Often
we act in ways that are contrary to our values and we end
up feeling uncomfortable, guilty, or even ashamed. Frequently,
we are not aware of the causes of our conflict. We may find
that we act in ways contrary to our own value system. We have
difficulty developing a plan of action that will help us reach
our vision of who we are. Something is blocking us or we are
too close to really see. Personal coaches believe that when
all aspects of life are in harmony, a synergy is formed that
propels an individual forward. There are tools to do this.
Transformation
comes with anxiety, doubt, fear and sometimes despair. There
are always periods of unrest that occur at the time when we
have an opportunity for personal growth. During such times
people can use support to learn more effective skills, and
gain clarity about what is truly meaningful to them.
Other
problems are more severe and persistent. They can adversely
impact all aspects of a person's everyday life and these warrant
attention as well. There are various kinds of anxiety. Depression
may be recognized by feelings of emptiness, sadness, guilt,
loss of pleasure in interests, fatigue, as well as difficulty
with concentrating, eating or sleeping. We can remain trapped
when we become stuck and confused. Our only real power lies
in taking charge of our own lives and making life as meaningful
as we can. Our old problems are temptations to stay in the
same place for the rest of our lives. We must each remember
that we will never be beyond error. Do not hold on to the
pain called disappointment because it means nothing.
