My home town now boosts some half a dozen life coaches. What does that say about it?
–Hold it right there! [Protest lodged by Dr. Fantod]
[Dr. Fantod is a jumping spider. He is also the official Life Coach at Quokka University.]
I am so sick of these so-called “life coaches” who wouldn’t know an aphid from a fruit fly! Who’s any better for having consulted one of them–eh? Crikey! “Oh, Dr. Fantod, I’ve fallen deeply in love with a money-wasting scoundrel who’s driven me practically bankrupt, and on top of that, every chance he gets, he cheats on me–!” Do you really need a life coach to tell you to stop doing stupid stuff? Did God forget to give you any sense? Do you have any idea of how many tasty and nutritious bugs inhabit a mere ten feet of rose hedge?
Sure, I’ll listen to a student’s tale of woe. And then I’ll do what his momma and his poppa should’ve done–send him off to the nearest bushes with a jar and tell him not to come back until he’s caught his supper. I don’t know about you, but I really like those brightly-colored leaf-hoppers…
Yummy!
Life Coach? Where have I been? Never heard of them.
Wow! I wonder if maybe they just don’t have them in Idaho.
It’s all about avoiding personal responsibility.
I am totally against that concept. It will not fly in the end.
My life coach is the Bible.
Right on, Phoebe. It is mine too.
I know a few friends who later went on to take a job as “life coach;” I wouldn’t go to them for counseling, just saying lol
Those who can’t do, coach.
Lol good one and it’s true
I often wonder what makes these people think they’re such experts on living that they’re qualified to teach other people how to live. What do they put on their résumés about their supposed successes in running their own lives or the lives of other people? Anyway, the whole idea is a kind of emotional and spiritual central planning — and we know how well central planning has worked in socialist and Communist countries, with their breadlines, squalor, and piles of corpses.
