The Drunk Monkey (your mind) is always trying to be the biggest.  It believes if it is admired by all, then it will survive longer.  It believes if it is admired that it will be able to spread its DNA all over the planet.  Aren’t you ready to grow up?  You are going to die no matter how popular you are. Life coaching can help in this department.

The Drunk Monkey is not in the business of going for it, taking action, getting excited, and living the dream!  It doesn’t care about creating pleasant experiences.  It could care less if you feel good.  It could care less about achieving your goals.

Today you will commit to taking an action you believe will get you the results you want, The Drunk Monkey will go to work inventing a fantasy about how it will all happen.  The Universe/God/Source Energy/Life Force will conspire upon your behalf, stuff will start to happen, results will start to be produced...BUT...in a way that looks different then what The Drunk Monkey prophesized.  EMERGENCY!!!!!The Drunk Monkey gets scared because its expectations where broken.  When your expectations are broken, you’ve entered the unknown.  The Drunk Monkey hates the unknown, and believes that it is a survival situation.  It will either attack or run away.  Either response will shoot you in the foot and stop you from achieving the results you want. 

The Drunk Monkey wants to survive.  But you know the problem.  You are definitely going to die, someday. Take action on your intentions today. Give up being right about you, your limitations, the situation, the timing, and people. Engage the mystery of life, you have no idea what is going to happen next, just take the next action and enjoy the result, positive or negative...both are just opinions.
Trust that you are on the right path, if you are reading this, then by the vary nature of your intention, it is true, you are on the right path... weather you are producing results or not. Take action in-spite of the uncomfortable feelings you might have.  Just make it an experiment, not important, just see if you can take the action without feeling anything.

The Drunk Monkey declares, “Now is wrong.  It will be better when you have that stuff over there.”  You will never arrive.  You will never have it all.  We in life coaching coach people who make 100’s of millions of dollars and they still believe that someday it will all be better when they have more stuff.

The Drunk Monkey loves to hate.  To hate is to demonstrate that you are in control.  To hate is to show the world that you will not be messed with.  But there is one problem.  You get what you focus on.  If you hate, you will bring negative situations upon yourself.  Give it up today. Change is essential and life coaching can help you get there. Everybody needs help once in a while right?

Being in life coaching for over 16 years has been a wonderful journey and I know will be more interesting in the future. I also hope to share more things and empower more people through Matthew Ferry international. If you have time please do visit us.
