Living in Overwhelm Is A Choice

Published on September 29, 2011 by Curt Gorlick

I have a hard time believing you were put on this Earth solely to be a workaholic. Yet, most people spend their life focused on work and career, spending very little time really living life and being happy. There has got to be more to life than that!

Here’s a…

How To Escape The What-If Trap

Published on August 18, 2011 by Curt Gorlick

Escaping The What-Ifs Of LifeFor the longest time I struggled with the idea of making up my mind for what I truly wanted in life. What held me back was the thought that my decision was permanent. I don’t know where that idea came from, but it colored my every thought.

The What-Ifs took on a life of their own and filled my mind with doubt…

“What if I make the wrong decision?”

“What if I fail?”

“What if I make a fool of myself?”

All those “What If’s” kept me paralyzed from taking a leap of faith. As a result I stayed stuck in my comfort zone for years never deciding what I wanted.  This indecision not only kept me stuck, it caused me to not live true to my values. It caused me to give up my boundaries and most importantly, I lost who I was in the process.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but the moment I lost who I was at my core was the moment I started losing my “Happy.” Continue reading...

Life Is Like A River

Published on August 11, 2011 by Curt Gorlick

Life Is Like A RiverMost people who know me know that I have a very good life and I’m a happy person. Most of them also know that my life was not always like that.

You see, years ago my life was turbulent and most of the time I was depressed, angry and frustrated. It was all because I lost who I was and had over-compromised ME -- without even knowing it.

Then one day I said “Enough is enough!” and I made a commitment to do whatever it took to change myself and to live the rest of my life being happy, authentic and more true to my values. That meant I needed to change me and my life 180 degrees. What a scary, yet hopeful, goal. I had no idea how to start or where to go for help.

It took a few years -- and lots of dedication -- but I achieved the life I so desperately wanted. The life I have now is so much more than I ever could have imagined. Continue reading...

What Is Your Big Picture For Change?

Published on July 14, 2011 by Curt Gorlick

What Is Your Big Picture For Change?Ever since I was a kid I wanted things to be different in my life. I also wanted to be different. I wanted to be smarter, better looking, taller, thinner and a million other things. I wanted to be liked and I always wanted more true friends.

It seemed like no matter how much I wanted things to change, they rarely did.

I used to think I was alone in this area, but as time went on I realized very few people are content with who they are and what they have.  Most people want what they don’t have. Even those who we are envious of are generally not satisfied.

It wasn’t bad enough that I wanted to change and couldn’t, I also wanted to change a lot of people who were in my life.

Does that sound crazy? Continue reading...

Who Is The Life Choice Strategist?

Published on July 7, 2011 by Curt Gorlick

Curt Gorlick, The Life Choice StrategistI’m Curt Gorlick and I have been coaching for more than a decade. I work with people to get to the root of what’s keeping them stuck in their personal lives and current relationships that are not going so well. Through my coaching and public speaking I provide success tools and resources to help people gain a new mindset and perspective on their lives and themselves. With my help, people can live a happy and more fulfilled life and have deeper relationships with others than they have ever experienced.

How I Became The Life Choice Strategist

In 1999 I was at my lowest point. I was angry because of who I had become. I realized it was my fault, yet I felt powerless to fix it. I had over-compromised myself for years. I’d become very adept at just sweeping problems out of view instead of dealing with them, just like the proverbial elephant in the room.

I was living a lie. Continue reading...

Put Your “Magic” Wish To Use

Published on June 16, 2011 by Curt Gorlick

This is your lucky day! Your alarm clock goes off and it’s time to start your new day. Then suddenly out of the blue you hear a small voice whispering in your ear, “I will grant you one wish and one wish only. Anything you wish for WILL COME TRUE! But there is one condition. You must make your wish by the stroke of midnight tomorrow!”

You are so excited. You can’t believe your ears. You are so wound-up to share your great news with all your family and friends. You are ready to shout out to the world how lucky you are and how you were chosen to have a wish come true. You are determined that all your friends and family will know that you have this one wish and that no matter what, like it or lump it, you need to make your wish by the end of the day tomorrow.

Who is Really in Control of Your Life? Is It You? Or….?

Published on May 26, 2011 by Curt Gorlick

You might be thinking, what a ridiculous question! “Who else is -- or could be -- controlling my life if it isn’t me?”

The truth is there are many possible answers to this question. Here’s a few: your spouse… your significant other… your parents… your siblings… your good friends… or…. I’m sure you can come up with many more answers than I did, but here’s the simple yet powerful answer. Your life is controlled by whomever you give your power away to.

Believe it or not, for you and for most people, the powerful driving force running your life is that all mighty little voice in your head known as your “Saboteur.” Continue reading...
