Self-coaching for a culture of peace

House of Chances means helping people live in peace—with themselves, with others, and with the world.
It does so by sharing reflections and ideas through this blog,
where thought becomes a bridge between understanding and renewal.

At the heart of the blog’s philosophy lies self-coaching for a culture of peace.
It is a way of discovering and using the power within ourselves to make crucial decisions—decisions that lead to a better life and a better world.

Self-coaching finds its deepest expression in visionary power—the strength we all possess to see our future clearly and to act on it with purpose and compassion.
It is our personal house of chances—a place where growth begins.
May this house, for all of us, become a home of peace.

The blog continues to share ideas and experiences about this peace work with others.
Since 2013, this has also taken form in the Facebook House of Chances—Self-Coaching for a Culture of Peace,
a community space dedicated to reflection, mutual support, and the quiet work of transformation.

It is my conviction and hope that we will each discover this sensitive nature within ourselves and use it constructively. When we do, we awaken a shared visionary power—one that strengthens the human foundation of our world and reaches, perhaps, even the cosmic.

Self-coaching

Self-coaching means getting to know yourself through your possibilities—and learning to push your boundaries.
You analyze your strengths with the aim of expanding them.
With the desire to work on your life plans, you can coach and encourage yourself.
Because truly—is there anyone who knows you better than yourself?

Yet self-coaching is never done entirely alone.
It is collective, built on dialogue with your surroundings—or with a trusted confidant.
It assumes reciprocity.
After all, self-coaching does not mean that all insight must come from within yourself alone.

Alongside your own reflection, you may choose to work with a coach (a supportive counsellor) or a mentor (a guiding teacher).
What matters most is that you take steps—and in self-coaching, you never take them entirely by yourself.

Taking steps is essential.
That is why it is said to those who come for advice:

“My dear friend, today I invite you to take one step forward.
One step is enough to set many things in motion.
And remember—try to do at least three good deeds each day.
That, too, requires a little self-reflection.”

Self-coaching a visionary power

Visionary power is the inner drive that gives us a clear vision of what we want to reach for in life.
It is the force that turns our dreams into reality.
It makes us great—whoever we are.

Our visionary strength allows us to see our life—past, present, and future—as one whole.
It helps us believe so deeply in our path that we begin to act on it, here and now, with conviction and clarity.

This does not mean that visionary power shields us from pain or challenge.
We all have our moments of struggle—and that is precisely why self-coaching is needed.
Visionary power moves us forward, even through our deepest trials.

It stands at the very heart of harmony in our lives.
No matter how far we may fall, it is our visionary power that lifts us again—reminding us that healing and becoming are one and the same journey.
