A Different Way Toward Happiness

JourneyWay.Com was created out of the experience gained through coaching adults over the past 6 years. I learned that most of those I worked with simply wanted a quick, achievable method to find a different way to regain control over their lives and to be happy.
I’m not trying to say that no work is needed to affect change, no way! What I am saying is that it is MUCH easier to get to a new place in your life by first understanding where you are.
Think of your life as a Journey!
You may have a vision for where you want your life to lead or you may not. You might be crystal clear on why you’re not happy or you are simply finding yourself in the same place year after year not really knowing where the time is going. Either way, if you want tomorrow to be different from today you must begin to make changes in the choices you’re making.
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results.” –Albert Einstein
I’ve always loved that quote because it accurately reflects how most of us are living our lives. It’s been said that success is achieving one’s goals. At the same time, most know that we have to have smart goals in order to keep us true to our values, dreams, visions, and hopes for tomorrow but few of us actually create personal or professional goals and stick to them.
Journeyway.com offers proven, affordable resources to help adults regain control in their lives. We offer our services out of knowing that it is possible to reach incredible dreams. This post is named, “A Different Way Toward Happiness” for a reason. There are many resources, self-help experts, and methods we can use to help us along our own personal journey. At the same time though, many contradict each other leaving us unsure of how to begin, much less continue onto our goals.
We will help you walk through a process of discovery that can lead to lasting change. Part of the work involves building an accountability system to help keep you true to yourself along the way. As in doing anything new, the assessments, free tools, and available courses may seem clunky or confusing at first. That’s okay!
Most of us don’t ever go to the airport and hand over our credit card to the ticket agent and say, “book me a flight going anywhere!” While this can provide adventure in your life, most of us naturally plan and prepare a bit more before booking our flight. We should be doing the same thing when it comes to planning our life journey!
The choices you made in the past and those you continue to make either move you closer to the life you most want to live, keep you rooted in one place, or continue to keep you off-track or even moving further away from your dreams. Sometimes, this has been going on for so long that we’ve begun to believe in our own failure.
We’re here to walk through this part of your journey with you. To do that we’re going to re-introduce you to the Four Rooms of your Life: Mind, Body, Heart, and Spirit. We’re going to ask you to take an honest inventory of all the areas of your life through our Free Intro Assessment, and we’re going to walk through reigniting dreams or goals you’ve put on the back burner, creating a vision for the life you most want to live.
In doing this, we’re going to remember to remain true to our own strengths and weaknesses and we’re going to focus on a vision that we CAN achieve. I will be providing an example of a part of my own life vision and will share through example on what I’m doing to achieve the life I most want to live.
I believe this life is precious and that we’re here for several important reasons. Some of those reasons are for ourselves and the work we’re here to do and some of those reasons are for how we can help and be there for those around us.
Whether you simply want to pick an exercise and eating plan that you can remain true to, want to create a better relationship with yourself and others, or you want to finally reach for that Big Dream, there is possibility for you!
But because this takes commitment we will be talking about how to finally find a way to stay motivated to how you most want to live. Because this will take effort in your life we will support you along the way and show you that positive change is not only possible, it can really happen. But through it all we will remind you of your responsibility and accountability in the process.
This is your life–your journey. Isn’t it worth giving it your all? A great place to start is to peruse the Free Tools section located in the drop down menu at the top of the web site. They will definitely begin to move you toward the all important steps of discovery and self-inventory necessary to begin to change your path. From there we can move to the in-depth web courses available online.
The official launch date for this site will be January 18, 2009. However much will be available before that date and the Free Tools are already up and available for download. Take some time and work your way through the pages and posts, comment if you’re moved to do so, and feel welcome to send me an email if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
This site is for you to help you begin to regain control in your life enabling you to create the life you most want to live.
To your best!
