Maybe it's a sense of self-awareness that people are wanting when they reach out to psychics, life coaches, friends or family. In it's most passive state life can have little direction. People react and wait for it to come to them. The opposite is when life becomes too omni-directional. For the achievers among us, there are too many choices and too many things to do. In order to keep sane, it's easy to apply the hedgehog principle, focus on a path, stick to it and don't question it. But there's still no greater clarity on \"whatever it is\" really is. It's an illusion. So we need people to challenge us to be self-aware about our choices and other aspects of our lives. Everyone will find this counsel in different places.

It's a natural reaction for a human to instantly find the issue and work on the solution to it.<br><br>So in saying that, when you present a certain view point or situation or feeling or even start pining about something people instantly attack the problem.

It's not whining, it's introspection.

And how you embrace that is up to you. But the reason you want your mom around(if that's one of the points) is because you need someone who unconditionally just wants to support you. And honestly, sometimes you just need that support system. That's what support is! Not all this hogwash that 'superstars' spout out. It's unconditional care fully focused on you. And I'm sure with your pressures it's a good security blanket heh<br><br>Just don't blind yourself with the focus in front of you and start looking beside and behind you and see what's WITH you, instead of what's to come.<br><br>Anyway, you have your fans online that will give you a glimpse of that support.

Anyone can do that in all honesty. It\'s just creative solving. As for psychic energy and foretelling? Not my idea of reality, but then again I\'m told I\'m bullheaded.<br><br>I find it\'s funny that there are a tonne of people out there ready to tell someone else what they are, and without even being prompted. It\'s a natural reaction for a human to instantly find the issue and work on the solution to it.<br><br>So in saying that, when you present a certain view point or situation or feeling or even start pining about something people instantly attack the problem. What needs to happen, and what never happens, is people need to empathize and support one another, and THEN start whittling away at an issue.<br><br>It\'s no surprise that just about everyone I know could give a shit less about anyone elses problems or issues past doing the bare minimum of oh no that\'s horrible DO THIS THIS THIS AND THIS AND THEN JUST SHUT UP ABOUT IT YOU WEAK WUSS!<br><br>Meanwhile they are crying to you about something so simple and ridiculous that you just start to put the puzzle pieces together in your own head: People are self-involved adapters. Instead of seeing it your way, they will see it theirs and push their ideas onto your problem. But you see the problem from a different paradigm than they do.<br><br>If you want something, do it. The only thing stopping you from that(and no, it\'s not the cliche BS of it being YOU), because you clearly want it, its everyone else.<br><br>Much like a lot of people, I\'m sure you think you\'re pretty goddamn great for the most part. Here and there you probably attack yourself with ferocious quills and stab at the root of problems just a little too deep. But all in all, yer a pretty happen switched on hip kool kat hahaha that was cheesy I know, but levity is good.<br><br>Anyway I worry things like this are not practical and it\'s because the response I ever get to them is to shut up and stop whining. It\'s not whining, it\'s introspection. And as a cynic, self is everything and you constantly judge upon contrast to better yourself because you\'ve been funneled into the world with everyone else who is fighting for their dreams, wishes, aspirations, wants, needs, spiritual \'guidance\', etc.<br><br>It took me 14 years to find a band because no one would jam with me. Why? Intimidated? Didn\'t like my style? Think I\'m a douchebag? I thought they were douchebags?<br><br>Maybe...but I found some of the greatest guys I could have ever wished to be in a band with. No severe egos or uptight BS. All because I did it. No one else helped me because they are too self-involved.<br><br>This can be seen in every day life. Like people who don\'t hold the door for you, or let you in while driving, or cut in line, or feel their voice has a better canter and should be louder than the rest.<br><br>It\'s natural competition. And how you embrace that is up to you. But the reason you want your mom around(if that\'s one of the points) is because you need someone who unconditionally just wants to support you. And honestly, sometimes you just need that support system. That\'s what support is! Not all this hogwash that \'superstars\' spout out. It\'s unconditional care fully focused on you. And I\'m sure with your pressures it\'s a good security blanket heh<br><br>Just don\'t blind yourself with the focus in front of you and start looking beside and behind you and see what\'s WITH you, instead of what\'s to come.<br><br>Anyway, you have your fans online that will give you a glimpse of that support. They aren\'t your momma!(sorry I couldnt help it hah) but they will, as you see here, give you a pat on the back and say hey man, what\'s goin on? Shoot, spill it, let your people talk to my people.<br><br>I\'ve said it before, do what you feel is right, not what you think everyone thinks is right. Just don\'t do it because you feel you need to.<br><br>mmmmmmmmm pumkin pie...Yeah it\'s Thanksgiving up here and it\'s on my mind hahaha :D</div>\

I don\'t believe in psychics, or for that matter "life coaches", but I also see no need to go around telling everyone else that they cannot or should not seek such help if they wish.  I think we all feel out of control, or perhaps just overwhelmed by the rate at which things change, but that too is natural.  We all have our own ways of working through them as well.  Some of us may blog about it while sitting on the floor listening to music, others may decide to get away from reality spending a night out drinking with friends before posting an unfortunate blog entry. I guess that\'s the difference, the fact that we can now so easily broadcast these things far and wide with the internet, and the delete and undo buttons don\'t always work as well as we would like.</div>\

I don\'t believe in the "need" for a spiritual leader or a spiritual coach, but I do believe that we human beings have a part of us that is inclined toward the divine beyond ourselves.  As a Christian pastor, I believe that path is through the person of Jesus of Nazareth, but I have also seen how other forms of spirituality connect people with the divine.<br><br>Ultimately, I believe that the spiritual is best experienced within community and not the individual path of "just find the inner guide within you."  I think that it is through the voices of others around us that we most often hear the voice of God in the world and in our lives.  This does not necessarily mean having "one spiritual leader" in life, but instead becoming a part of a community of faith and sharing in the communal journey of faith.</div>\

A few weeks back I began cutting back on my blogging and Twittering because there were too many times when my motivation for writing seemed muddied. It needed a dose of self-awareness. Maybe it\'s a sense of self-awareness that people are wanting when they reach out to psychics, life coaches, friends or family. In it\'s most passive state life can have little direction. People react and wait for it to come to them. The opposite is when life becomes too omni-directional. For the achievers among us, there are too many choices and too many things to do. In order to keep sane, it\'s easy to apply the hedgehog principle, focus on a path, stick to it and don\'t question it. But there\'s still no greater clarity on "whatever it is" really is. It\'s an illusion. So we need people to challenge us to be self-aware about our choices and other aspects of our lives. Everyone will find this counsel in different places. And when we find ourselves "helping each other get through this thing, whatever it is," we\'re lucky to be reminded that that is exactly what it is all about.</div>\

As others have said, if that\'s the most introspective rambling you can do then you have nothing to fear.<br><br>Personally, I\'m of the opinion that a life coach is kinda like a psychiatrist but without the training. Someone who\'ll listen to your problems and tell you what you need to hear. Give you that kick up the backside that you can\'t give yourself - and then meet you again next week and expect you to have some progress to report. If you have the right friends, an evening on the sofa with a good friend and a bottle of red wine can sometimes substitute. But these days everybody\'s too busy and too wrapped up in themselves to do that - so we have to pay someone to do it for us.<br><br>P.S. I\'m kinda with Kurt.

I think there is validity to a having a life coach; a person who can look at our lives objectively and point out the things we see through emotionally tinted lenses.<br><br>I\'ve learned from these resources to pull myself aside from time to time, and review my decisions objectively myself, and then make better decisions.<br><br>The process has led me to a better career, and a happier personal life.  So I\'ve grown from that experience.<br><br>Take care.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-10097035" class="dsq-comment-message">Hey Natali,<br><br>While I don\'t believe in psychics I do believe that people need emotional anchors in our lives.  By that I mean some stable force that helps us get perspective on our lives, not that they drag us down emotionally.<br><br>These people are usually our parents, our closest friends, or our children.  For others it could be a "spiritual" person, like a priest or rabbi.<br><br>People who don\'t have real anchors look to find them else where, and usually get in trouble.  These are the people susceptible to psychics, cult leaders, and TV evangelists.<br><br>From your previous "goggles" blogs, I can tell you have a close tie to you family.  They are your anchors, so when you are away from them too long you feel disconnected.<br><br>Life coaches are a tricky thing.  While it\'s always good to have a mentor it\'s important to have one that really knows you and has your best interest at heart.  I\'ve seen too many life coaches who try and mold all of their "players" the same way, especially if they are a professional coach and not just a close friend.  But if you can find a coach who really aligns well with your true goals then it can be a good thing.<br><br>BTW, if it\'s encouragement that you need, you have it from me and many other CNET fans.  You really know your stuff and you present it well.  In a sea of "booth babes" with web cams, you stand out as someone with true geek/tech cred.  Hang in there!</div>\

Everyone has been.  Fortunately, I get my strength from my faith in Christ, my wife, my family, and my core group of friends that share my faith.<br>Thanks to all of these blessings, especially my faith in Christ and His promises I am able to look past and through difficult times, learn from them, learn things about myself, hold onto his promises, and use my experiences to help others.<br>(After hearing you tell us about the faith that you grew up in as a child, I can only assume that you understand this aspect of faith and life)<br><br>I applaud your self reflection, honesty, and character.  It is interesting seeing you or hearing you when you are on certain shows or dealing with others that may come across more crass, brash, or abrasive.  You still come always reflect on them with your positive attitude, character and class.  You are making a difference in many peoples lives, yet probably do not have the opportunity to realize it because of 1 - way communication (videos) or just sheer business.  But, know that you area positive influence on many.  We need more high character classy people like yourself.  Be confident in yourself as a person and what you do.  It is evident that you love what you do and do it will class and a smile on your face.<br><br>"People do not remember your accomplishes or your achievements.  They remember you for how you made them feel."<br><br>Keep up the great work, and know that  you are making a difference in the lives of others.  As it says "Be in the world, not of the world."  From the little that we views see of you, you seem to be epitomizing that in your life.<br><br>-Harty<br>Jeremiah 29:11-12<br>Philippians 4:6-8</div>\

I can\'t say for sure, I\'ve never utilized one.<br><br>But as far as "what does it all mean?" and ultimately, "what is our purpose here?" (paraphrasing). I think you\'ve touched on the deepest dilemma known to mankind.<br><br>What should we believe in then? Deities seem to do it for some people. But then again, even many who "believe" find themselves  miserable souls, in that defining one\'s self via alignment with religion\'s rule and structure, you can end up living a life that isn\'t perhaps true to some of your natural instincts. And this is all done so that ultimately, you\'ll obtain some supposed passage to an eternal after-life. Kind of crazy, when you think about it; Struggling with a set of rules that you know in your heart are not totally workable (or perhaps even reasonable), all so you\'ll end up in a place, that is run by a power, whom no one has ever seen, or can even prove exists.<br><br>It is a selfish endeavor as well, because when all is said and done, you\'re trying to live "the life" just so you can supposedly live forever when your mortal life ends. In this sense, it\'s ultimately unsatisfying to anyone who\'s not a narcissist.<br><br>So here\'s my idea for how we could ALL find more meaning in our life here on earth; Stop living for some unproven after-life, and focus on living for our community, and our fellow man. Make THEM our source of celebration and worship.<br><br>In the end, we\'ll be living for what\'s REAL, what is HERE and NOW. Wars over religion would end, and instead of seeing differences in our neighbors (and resulting reasons to kill them), we\'d see nothing but a common bond as simple, fellow humans, getting through "whatever it is" by helping each other for a change.<br><br>The hard part in this grand scheme is getting the human animal to accept that when he dies, that really is it. A lot of people just can\'t handle it. It\'s our base animal instinct at work; fear of death. Only humans could complicate such a natural fear by placating it with the notion of some eternal after-party.<br><br>"The Church of Your Fellow Man"...it could happen...but right now, it is up against some old and entrenched competition, in the form of Catholicism and Muslim faiths, to name some of the biggest.

The key seems to be finding truly objective and good advice, making good choices.... and going our best to objectively  help  others.<br><br>I applaud you as a smart young Hispanic woman who appears to be interested in making a difference in other\'s lives.<br><br>Best.<br><br>Vin</div>\
