What Are The 4 Pillars in Your Life?

Most of us understand the concept of a Pillar, as that part of a building that holds it strong, no matter what the world throws at it. Pillars bear the weight of the structure and must always stand on a strong foundation to be successful. Your Life and The Four Pillars that support it, are just the same as those on a powerful building. They bear the weight of your hopes, dreams, desires, plans, thoughts and actions. I am certain that you already know that the buildings that weather the roughest storms are those with the strongest foundations, and yet at the same time have the flexibility to survive.

That flexibility is one of the most important factors in longevity and success, for both buildings and for your life.

The Four Pillars can be labelled and understood as:

What is Your Life Looking Like Right Now?

Let's take a closer look at what a fantastic building you can construct for your life. The building that is based on your goals, aspirations and dreams, the most important things that you want to achieve.

• Are you weathering the storms in your life?
• Do you cope with change, maybe even chaos at times?

Ask yourself, and have a think about the following questions:

• Are you in control of your life, or is life in control of you?
• What habits do you want to develop and write on your pillars?
• What experiences do you want to feel in building your life?

"Are you squeezing life, or is life squeezing you?"

Lets Think About The 4 Pillars

Just as in building and construction, life has its pillars and these are the 4 Pillars, that can really help kick start you on a path to a strong, powerful and flexible life, filled with all the things you count as precious.

Each Pillar has its own area of strength, flexibility and connection. Each supports your life (your perfect building of success) in specific ways. The following questions will help you discover your strengths and the areas you may need help in developing. Try to be honest with yourself. Speak to someone close to see if they agree. Be truthful and gentle with yourself.

Just like a building takes many resources, time, skill and support to create and maintain, so resetting our lives, creating new dreams and goals, and taking the time to fix those things that are holding us back, also takes skill, resources and time.

No great building was instantly created by one person, even erecting a tent takes more than one person! We must work together, get the right advice, seek the counsel of those who have gone before and of those who have the knowledge to guide us.

Are you going to Pay It Forward to create a life with health rather than disease?

• Learn how to let past hurts go, 'Feel to Heal'.
• Learn how to let go of limiting beliefs, that are holding you back.

I would love to know what you are creating. Working closely with others can help you make great leaps forward in your life, in all the four pillars of your life.

Coaching can be a real catalyst, an eye opener or a confirmation that you are on the right track. I love listening and assisting people to uncover the things they need to be or to do to create what it is that lies deep inside.
