Universal Principles and Life Coaching

by | Jun 23, 2026

Life coaching is such a broad term, what does it actually mean and how does it work?

I have spent years looking for wisdom wanting to unlock the secrets of life and how the world works. I have wanted to understand how our minds work. The question that has always driven me to grow is “what’s my potential?”. I realized at a young age that my potential is always expanding. When I learn something, my potential grows. When I gain a skill, my potential grows again. Theoretically it’s unlimited. 

This belief has helped me to learn something everyday and grow myself everyday. 

Through this journey I have come to understand “Universal Principles”. These principles explain “The Way” things work. 

When you work with the principles, your life feels good, you are inspired, you feel joy, love and gratitude. 

When you are unaware of the principles, you inadvertently feel frustrated, lonely, afraid, limited, stuck and many other varieties of negative painful emotions. 

These principles can be applied to many problems we experience in life. We think most of our problems are situational. We blame the job, the boss, the colleagues, the economy, our partner, our body, the system. 

These circumstances are all just symptoms of our lack of awareness, our lack of understanding. In our ignorance we get stuck in repeating negative patterns that keep our situation the same. 

As soon as our awareness expands, even just a little, when we see things from a higher perspective, THEN we are able to break the pattern, and change our life circumstances. 

How do you raise your awareness? 

You ask a Question. 

What questions do you ask? 

You ask questions related to the Universal Principles. 

What are the Universal Principles? 

I will do my best to help you discover the Universal Principles as I know them. They are best experienced through coaching, when we intellectualize them it’s very easy to discredit them, discard them and not fully appreciate or understand them. 

Once you fully understand them, you will see that every philosopher, coach, spiritual teacher, and ancient text are all referring to the same universal principles. 

The wisdom has been said in many ways, in many texts, over and over throughout history. 

Something new you may not have heard, is that ALL of the Universal Principles are rooted in the idea of Infinity. 

Infinity is not just a number, not just a word, it’s something incomprehensible to us but we can still try to define it. It’s useful to try and understand it, but know that it’s not easy to understand. 

If we start by looking at the “Traits of Infinity” you will see that it is ever expanding, unlimited, and all encompassing. It has no beginning and no end. It always exists. 

We have come to understand that the universe is ever expanding. We have come to understand that energy and matter are the same. We have come to understand that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. 

We, with our limited senses, our limited perspective, can not perceive infinity, even if it were surrounding us all of the time. 

But we can catch glimpses of it. And when we do, it brings tears to our eyes. That is what happens during coaching. You see a glimpse of the vast, beautiful, universal design. Which is Infinity. And YOU are part of it!!

When this happens, something shifts within you. You feel empowered, loved, worthy. From this you are able to take action and change your life.
