"What lies behind us and what lies before us
are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"On our journey to fulfillment we all must pass through the small town of Shouldville. Shouldville is the place where everybody does what they think they should be doing, according to the rules and expectations of their parents, their partners, their friends, their bosses, their co-workers, their church, their government, their society, add yours here ... As boring and backwater a place as Shouldville is, many of us get stuck there instead of driving through. In order to get out of Shouldville, you must get your thoughts beyond the radar screen of your current life. You have to give yourself permission to soar a little higher than you think you are allowed to or that you think you are currently capable of. Sometimes we are so focussed on the mass illusion of WHAT-IS in our lives, that we can't figure out what we want because it ISN'T in our scope of vision.

To get back on the highway again, try doing some idle fantasizing. This is different than using your imagination for the purpose of becoming one with a desire through experiencing it. Do that after you've safely passed through Shouldville. For now, put your mental car in fifth gear and let your mind sail along with some thoughts of what could be instead of what-is.

Say to yourself, "According to everybody else, I should be wanting to be, have and do X; but what if I could be, have, or do Y instead? What could I do if nothing were impossible?" Then let yourself play a bit. Go wild. Wish for the impossible. Imagine the impossible. Heck, swerve into the forbidden zone! You're not breaking any Shouldville laws, because this is just daydreaming, not action. No compliance cops are going to hunt you down and sentence you to a life of explaining to family-God-and-country why you thought you could drive in a way nobody else is allowed to!

By doing a little fantisizing in the forbidden zone, high up on the pleasure bridge, out on the genie expressway, you can break free from the mile an hour speed limit, the crosswalks, and the stop signs of Shouldville and expand your horizons. Then, when you are free from Shouldville, you can head to the next stop of Can Do City for real!" ... Melody Larson.

Most of us live within the confines of our comfort zones and become so accustomed and accepting of mediocrity that we become conditioned to think that living a life of our dreams is only reserved for the Richard Branson's of the world.

We were all born with a specific purpose in mind and meant to live a life of abundance and if you are not waking up in the morning with a song in your heart, trust me, you are not living the life you were meant to live.

It is usually our perceived consequences that stops us most from doing the things we really like to do. Without really knowing what motivates you or what obstacles might stand in your way, makes it difficult to effect real change in your life. That is why that self-help book or CD will go right back on the shelf and you will forget all about it. To achieve success on the outside, you first have to achieve success from within. Successful change is a sustained process that takes time and effort.

Life Coaching is not therapy, but it is a process of personal growth and development. It brings about transformational change to those who desire substantial and lasting improvement in their lives.

Whether it is career, financial, health, emotional, relationships, personal development or spiritual growth, Life Coaching can help you lead a more balanced and purposeful life.

Life Coaching is about you being inspired and finding your passion. It is about putting clear and defined goals in place of how and when you are going to bring about those changes you desire. It is about taking responsibility for your life, realising your full potential and living a life of your dreams.

WELCOME to A Life Unlimited! My name is Mara Burger and I am a certificated Life Coach and a member of COMENSA (Coaches and Mentors of South Africa). If you are ready to take responsibility for your life and explore the possibilities of your endless potential, I stand ready to serve you.

I am passionate about what I do and I can't wait to share the wonder of it all with you. I offer you a powerful caring partnership of attention, compassion, kindness and flexibility in a fun and inspirational environment. I will be your sound board as you explore and discover your beliefs. I will support you as you cultivate and reinforce your talents, your values and your strengths.

The coaching is all about you - 100% about you and how you want your life to be. I don't tell you what to do - it is a self-fulfilling prophecy where you apply the rules. Some changes might come easy and some might be more difficult to effect, but I will be there for you every step of the way as I cheer you on and together we will get rid of those obstacles that stand in your way of achieving success.

Let me take you from "Shouldville" and let's embark on a journey of learning, personal growth, increased self-awareness, greater fulfillment, higher performance and a more balanced life.

Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. When you improve yourself, you will also improve the lives of everyone around you. When we love what we do, we raise our vibration and that love will inspire everyone we come into contact with.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs.
Ask yourself what makes you come alive,
and go do that, because what the world needs
is people who have come alive"
- Gill Baillie
