A life coach is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals . Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here are some tips for you:

 Pay attention to your relationships with others

Ask yourself the following questions: How do you deal with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are.

 Face the fears about the future

Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. ① We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible, but they followed their dreams and succeed.

②__________________

If you want to reach your goals,③you will have to spend more time developing the talentsyou already have, and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven't discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience.

Happiness is for everyone. （1） You don’t have to admire those people who have beautiful houses with large garden. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely. In fact, happiness is around you if you put your heart into it. （2）当你在学校遇到麻烦时，你的朋友会帮助你;when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and your healthy; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; （3）when you do something wrong, people around you will help you correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is around you.

（4）快乐不同于金钱。It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you have difficulties, you can say loudly that you are happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is a revolving(旋转的) door. When it close, it also opens. （5） If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.
