The world where you create your own way of working and living has completely different rules

Hello!

This month marks one year since I decided to live my life as a coach.

This morning, when I got out of bed, the thought suddenly came to me,
"The rules are completely different from the way I used to work and live."
that phrase just popped into my head.

I would like to share what I have realized since shifting to and moving within a world where you create your own way of working and living based on your own core values.

・You want to create your own job and way of working
・You want to live your life with your own core values
・You want to change yourself

I am writing this with the hope that it reaches those of you who hold such thoughts.

I have also talked about this content in an audio format.
Perhaps it might be easier to understand if you receive it through both your eyes and ears by using both the audio and this article.
Please check that out as well!

Now, please continue reading the text version.

In the past, the answers to how to work and live were outside of myself

Let me look back specifically at how I used to work and live.

Broadly speaking, it was a life of choosing what was best for me from among the answers, ways of working, and ways of living that already existed in the world.
And, it was about behaving in the way required by the place where I was employed or belonged.

That was the way I worked and lived.

For me, that way of working and living was normal, it was the only way, and I had never even considered that there might be another path for me.

Perhaps I am not the only one.
I wonder if many of us assumed that this way of working and living was normal.
You, who are reading this now, might feel the same way.
(If that is not the case, feel free to skip this part!)

In this way, others—not myself—had already provided various answers in some form regarding how to work, the types of jobs and how to do them, and how to live and conduct oneself in the environment one belonged to, and I was expected to fulfill what was required in accordance with those.

I think there are people who feel that such a way of working and living is comfortable and suits them.
Conversely, I think there are also people who feel suppressed and distressed by that way of working and living, and find it difficult to continue living in that world both mentally and physically.

I was completely the latter.

I tried hard, and hard, and hard to match the answers outside of myself and to fit into the environment I belonged to, but my mind and body had reached their limit.

Of course, there was a sense of fulfillment, and there were many strengths I gained precisely because I worked hard there.

But...
I was in the dark about the meaning of my work and the meaning of my life, asking myself, 'What am I working for? What am I living for?'

That is when I decided to shift my way of working and living to a different path than before.

My current way of working and living is about creating my own answers and making the path I have taken the correct one.

After that, with my mind and body in tatters, I made a firm resolution and took the plunge to shift toward creating my own answers and making the path I have taken the correct one!

While being accompanied by a coach who actually creates their own work and lives their own life with their own core values,
I have also been moving forward little by little for a year while standing by others as a coach myself.

As I actually started doing this, I learned that there are rules in this world that are completely different from the rules that were normal in my previous way of working and living, and I feel this keenly as I take further action.

It is just like the rules of baseball and soccer, which my mentor coach often uses as an analogy.

Even though they are both sports, baseball and soccer have completely different rules, equipment, number of players, movements, and even match durations.

It is exactly that kind of feeling.

By the way, there is no such thing as one being more wonderful or better or worse than the other when it comes to the sports or rules of baseball and soccer.

I also do not think that one is better or worse than the other between 'a way of working and living where the answers are outside of yourself' and 'creating your own way of working and living.'

I believe it is something you can choose based on which one you like, which one feels comfortable, and which one allows your heart to be rich.

And whichever you choose, they are both worlds with their own respective rules.

So, I often find myself thinking, 'Huh? The rules here are different from what I'm used to!' and realizing that's why I was struggling—it's been a series of discoveries.

What kind of differences in rules are there?

Finally, I would like to share the differences in rules that I feel as I actually change and move forward in my own way of working and living.

I feel that 'a way of working and living where the answers are outside of yourself' and 'creating your own way of working and living' are different, as shown in the table below.

Even though I knew about the differences, when I actually tried to take action, there were times when I struggled or wanted to stop because the old rules of working and living were all I knew.

There is a world of difference between knowing something in your head and actually experiencing it or being able to do it.

That's why, sometimes, even though I'm on a soccer field, I try to hit the ball with a bat as if I'm playing baseball, or I catch the ball with my hands even though I'm not the goalkeeper, thinking that's how it's done.

Even though it's the same sport, and we are living under the same sky,
I am constantly struck by how different the rules are for working and living.

But if you ask me if I want to go back to the old way of working and living just because the rules are different, I don't think so at all.

After all, I want to work and live in a way that allows me to truly walk a rich path from the heart.

How about you, who are reading this?

You might already be moving through the world of creating your own way of working and living, or you might be aiming for it from now on; everyone is different.

Especially if you are about to take that first step, I think it's good to first get a sense of what these rules are.

And by actually taking it one step at a time, I believe you will gradually understand the rules and be able to do more.

I hope that you and I can both continue to walk the path where we can truly be rich from the heart.

I am supported by a rich circle of coaches, and I, too, would like to further connect that rich circle while standing by your side.

As a first step, I think it is important to summon the courage to say, "I'd like to talk a little," whether to me or another coach.
If you would like to talk with me, please feel free to send a message to my officialLINE.
I will cherish your courage, receive it with both hands, and reply with all my heart.
