From The Desk Of Joshua Benavides
Columbia Gorge, WA

Dear friend,

Life is uncertain.

But death – that inevitable, final moment where we take our last breath and shed our body, our lives and our world as we know it – is certain.

None of us know when our time will come.

All we know is that it will come.

It’s quite possible that you could be living the last year of your life right now as you read these words.

I Don’t Say This To Frighten You…

But to remind you, during these short minutes we have together, that our time here on earth is short.

This precious, beautiful life as we know it will come to end.

But until that day comes, you have this tremendous opportunity to choose to live your life fully, love fully, and not die with your music still in you.

The Trouble Is,
You Think You Have Time

So many of us waste a tremendous amount of our lives taking things for granted, leaving things for later, sweating the small stuff, living in the past, worrying about the future, doubting our selves, our dreams, our worth, and postponing our fulfillment and joy for a tomorrow that never comes!

We tend to balk at truly changing our lives until things get really bad or so uncomfortable that we simply can’t go on with business as usual.

We wait for crises, trauma, loss, disease, or tragedy before we’re willing to get real with ourselves, look at who we are, what we’re doing, how we feel, what we’ve settled for, and what our soul is longing for, in order to embrace true change.

But I Say: Why Wait?

We don’t have to wait for death, crises, pain or tragedy to come knocking on our door.

We can choose in this very instant to listen to our intuitive, inner voice, align with our life’s true purpose, and create a life that makes us feel truly, fully and magnificently alive!

The Top 5 Regrets Of The Dying

In her moving article, that later became the book – The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying – Bronnie Ware, a palliative nurse, recorded the five most common regrets she heard from the dying.

If you’ve read this before, give yourself the gift of reading it again.

If this is your first time reading this, I invite you to take it in and check in with yourself as you read it.

The top 5 regrets:

#1 – I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

Bronnie writes: “This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.”

#2 – I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.

Bronnie writes: “This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.”

#3 – I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

Bronnie writes: “Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.”

#4 – I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

Bronnie writes: “Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.”

#5 – I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Bronnie writes: ”This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.”

So now, I ask you…

If You Only Had One Year Left To Live…

Are there things in your life you would change?

Are there things in your life you would no longer settle for?

Are there dreams, callings and desires that you would finally have the courage to just go for?

Are there people you would want to spend more of your time with and express how much you love and appreciate them?

What would become most important (and no longer important)?

How would you start showing up?

Would you aim to live each day, and every moment, FULL ON – with more presence, intensity, awareness, courage, gratitude and love?

Why Aren’t You Living This Way Now?

Maybe you’re thinking “My life’s not all that bad.”

But is it everything it could be?

And if it isn’t…

What are you waiting for?

Why are you waiting?

You see, here’s what I know for sure..

You Have A Unique Purpose
Which Only You Can Fulfill

It was Aristotle, the great philosopher, who observed that everything in life – you, me, all of nature – has an inherent potential, a divine seed within.

This seed also carries within it a ‘final form’ that it is destined to become.

He coined the term “Entelechy” (en-teh-leh-kee) to describe this innate potential and its inherent destiny – “the end within.”

The Entelechy of a thing is simply that which it is meant to become – the highest possibility in dormant form.

All of life has an Entelechy – a divine blueprint within that is seeking to be actualized

The entelechy of a caterpillar is to become a butterfly.

The entelechy of an acorn is to become an oak tree.

The entelechy of a rose seed is to grow and bloom into a rose.

There is a divine blueprint within every seed, within every human being and WITHIN YOU.

This divine seed – which holds the highest version and possibility of yourself and your life – is within you right now, as you are reading these words, awaiting for the proper conditions for it to grow, blossom and actualize itself.

So the question is…

How Can YOU Blossom Into The Highest Version Of Yourself & Create The Highest Version
Of Your Life?

Does a rose seed need to know how it will become a rose?

Does an acorn need to know how it will become an oak tree?

Or does it simply need to be put into a fertile environment, so it’s innate potential has the nourishment it needs to grow and blossom into its highest possibility?

You are no different.

When you are nourished by the right environment, you will also blossom into your ultimate possibility.

If you wish for a deeper, more meaningful and fulfilling life than the one you’re experiencing right now, you need the proper space and support – and I can help.

Who Am I?

My name is Joshua Benavides, founder of the Transformative Coach Institute, best-selling author of 3 books, coach, mentor, husband and father.

For well over a decade, I’ve worked with people around the world to uncover their magnificence, release their limitations and to COME ALIVE. My life has been dedicated to uncovering the layers of conditioned limitations from the unimaginable power, clarity and wisdom that lies within.

My journey has taken me to work with powerful mystics, indigenous healers, spiritual masters, and with remarkable people dedicated to The Work of healing our core wounds, releasing that which no longer serves our unfolding, and blossoming into the highest version of ourselves.

What Would You Regret Not Fully Doing, Being Or Having In Your Life?

Right now, my fondest dream for everyone, and for you, is to become intensely alive – to wake up to the fire that is always under your butt (your death) so you can stop postponing and start creating your awesome and extraordinary life without fear or limitations.

And if this is something you desire for yourself, it would be my deepest honor to take you by the hand and personally guide you through the psychological and emotional blocks that have kept you from becoming your highest self and creating your best life.

My Clients Don’t Die With Their
Music Still In Them

My clients relinquish victim consciousness, and let go of all the limiting nonsense they’ve been telling themselves all their lives.

I ask and say what very few people in life would ever dare to ask or say.

The work we do together is profound, intense, transformative, deeply healing and will absolutely transform your life.

How Do I Coach?

My coaching is honest and direct.

I have no agenda other than to see you blossom into your highest possibility and joy.

I will lovingly challenge you to look at yourself and your life differently.

I will walk with you to the other side of every fear, barrier, limitation and story that’s been holding you back from expressing your soul’s true potential.

You’ll speak. I’ll listen. We’ll dance. And your life will heal, transform and blossom.

Who Do I Coach?

We’ll work together if…

1. You are 100% committed to yourself and willing to do The Work, inner and outer, to come alive and create a deep, meaningful, and fulfilling life

2. You are fun, kind, respectful and pleasant to be with

3. I like you and I love what you’re about

4. You want to create the highest version of yourself and your life

5. You are ready to work with me

My Clients Always Get More Than They
Expected Or Imagined

My clients dissolve their greatest fears, create their biggest dreams and become the version of themselves they’ve always wanted to be.

When you work with me, it will be intense.

It will be unlike any other kind of coaching you’ve ever received.

You’ll emerge from every session with a deeper understanding and realization of your limitless power and capacity for love, creativity, connection, clarity and joy.

You will awaken. You will heal. You will transform your life from the inside-out.

My Clients Don’t NEED Coaching

They WANT my coaching because they want to get more out of themselves than they can on their own, and create things with more power, clarity, alignment, awareness and ease.

When you work with me, you are always in my thoughts.

Our work doesn’t end when the sessions end.

I am there for you when you need me.

I am 100% committed to you.

If you’re no longer willing to keep postponing your best life and you feel that you would thrive with this kind of transformative space and support…I would love to connect with you.

Here’s How The Process Works

First, if you are interested in working together, click the button below and fill out the contact form or email: joshua@profoundwellbeing.com

Introduce yourself. Share anything and everything you would love for me to know about you.

Here’s What Will Happen After That

Once I receive your email, I’ll send you a private link to my online calendar so you can pick the best day and time for us to talk (I’ll likely email you back within 24 hrs).

Our “Coming Alive” Discovery Call will be between 45 and 90 minutes.

This is where you will tell me about your vision and goals and describe what stops you from having, doing and being everything you want.

After our conversation, if you see the value of becoming one of my clients, great! We can talk about it.

But, A Warning: Time Is A Factor

This opportunity is genuinely limited because of the intense one-on-one time and attention I give to all my clients.

Therefore, it is physically impossible for me to personally work with more than a handful of people every year.

So with that said, I ask for only serious inquiries.

I can promise that if we’re a good fit and end up working together, you’ll receive benefits and rewards that far exceed whatever you imagine now.

If you feel like this is right for you, let’s connect.

Talk soon!

Love,
Joshua
