We tend to live in a society where we become adults, leave home, are thrown into “the real world” and are expected to deal with life on our own. Your mother is not your coach anymore, and your spouse, although your partner and life mate, is not your coach either. You can’t always tax your friends with your issues and they in turn are not qualified to help you move forward. The answer is to work with a coach; a teammate, a goal enabler, a support center, a skill builder, an encourager.
