This reminds me of a story.

Once upon a time, there was a beggar sitting on an old antique trunk. He had a peculiar way of attracting the devotees towards him. People used to give him money or food or clothes and his life was going on for several years. One day he died. People around him arranged for his last rites, all the passer-by’s contributed it. The old trunk was still at the same place. People gathered, broke the lock and opened it. Everyone was surprised to see the amount of wealth he was sitting on, the trunk was full of gold coins! But he only used it as a place to sit without realizing the potential it had to change his life.

This is analogous to our lives. We hold inside the immense potential and waste our lives in trying to extract something from outside. If we travel deep inside we would uncover the layers of limitations and can really carve out a new being who is fearless and unique.

Human behavior and the way we evolve ourselves has always remained a subject of interest for me. We all strive for a common goal HAPPINESS but the difference lies in our ways to achieve it. Interestingly, the path we choose depends on our value system which acts as a navigation system for us. Self -awareness plays a very important role here. During my own journey as a coach, I got strongly attracted to the coaching profession as it fits into my value framework.
