For more than twenty-five years, Coach John's life has evolved around helping people, young and old, in finding their ways through life. He designed modules and trained speakers. He travelled extensively giving talks, seminars, retreats and personal life coaching. This blog speaks his mind, a product of his love for life.

You’re Ok

Among the most insightful learning I got from my private reading is from the 'Four Life Positions.'

This is an idiot-proof, straightforward approach on relationships. While some psychology manuals need a college degree or even a master to interpret and apply, this one does not. It's down to earth, practical and very much consistent.


Early in life a person takes a certain position which he may maintain throughout a lifetime. The good news is we could change this position if we re-decide. Although the process is not easy, it is always rewarding and life changing.


Life Positions
I am ok, you are not ok ~ Hitler : "We're the super race, you're inferior." 
~ Fundamentalist: "We're saved, you're not."
~ Terrorist "We live, you die."
I am not ok, you are not ok
~ Thieves: "I'm bad, you're selfish."
~ Corrupt employees: "Everybody does it."
I am not ok, you are ok
~ Beggars: "You're lucky, I'm not."
~ Forever followers: "You're great, I can't do it."
~ Losers: "Why me?"
I am ok, you are ok
~ Prophet Muhammad: "Women are the twin halves of men.”
~ Gandhi: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others..."
~ Jesus: “There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13

And the best insightful question I got from this is:
“What are your position in life...?”

Father,
You gave us the freedom
To direct our lives;
Give us enough strength to change to course
Of our life towards Your Son,
Jesus Christ.
Amen.
