I’m not someone who watches a lot of television, mainly because our selection includes garbage, trash and violence.  However, aside from some great television (Discovery Channel,  The Learning Channel and Arts & Entertainment to name a few) there are some programs that I really love.  My favorites are The Next Food Network Star, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, and Last Comic Standing.

I like to say I’m not a fan of reality TV, but I’ve named 4 above that draw me back time and again.  Why is it that?  I’ve realized that what these programs have 1 empowering element in common…

Imagine having a dream, a passion, a goal so far out of your reach you think it’s impossible to achieve.  Then along comes someone who will mentor you, take you completely out of your comfort zone in a very supportive environment, and directs you to the tools you need to be successful.  All you have to do is show up and do the work so to speak.  That’s what these programs do for you.  They take the average person, cultivate your dream, support and encourage you while you do things you’ve never done before, as you begin to believe you can achieve anything you set your mind to.  Before you realize it, you’ve achieved your goal.

That’s the value of a mentor or life coach.  What’s your impossible dream?  Who’s your mentor?  What we now know is that anything is possible for anyone.  You bring the desire and the coach will bring the toolbox.
