About Me (A Little)
So... now you know... the
force and power behind this website has really come to life because of
the loving, creative and collective thinking from
ten good friends of mine.
And I should tell you that
if you ever wanted to know where you best life truly
lies, ask your friends and the good ones, well,
they'll tell you the unvarnished truth... about the magic of
you.
Personal
Change & Motivation...
Full of
Helium
Let me share with you a little of my own back story
to put you in the picture: I've been a reader and seminar participator and
audio listener and anything and everything to do
with personal change, personal development,
motivation and inspiration. And that too, for near
on 25 years now!
Indeed,
I've lost count of the number of times
that I'd get high on all that stuff and how it felt like I was
some extraordinary human being, floating high on
this magical rug... and that the rug was specially
created for me and that I could conqueror the world
and do whatever I wanted to...
whenever I
was on it.
Yes... I was
king of the world!!!
And then... and then... and then... it would
happen... just like clockwork... I'd come crashing
to the ground and wondered what on earth just
happened.
Well, what happened (and I was too blind and too
dumb and too full of ego to really get it back then)... what happened was the total and
utter realisation that none of that stuff out there...
was me.
I mean, it all sounded good and I'd buy into the
ludicrous far flung stories and buy into the hype
and I'd imagine and picture myself a successful achiever and I'd
see myself with all this inflated wealth and I'd
mentally capture myself strutting around the stage
like the vocal motivators that are full of boom and
enthusiasm and puffed up language... and I'd repeat a
few incantations and affirmations and I'd write down a phrase or two
and I'd see myself being immersed in all this success
literature and then...
I stopped
doing all that.
Yes. One day, I just stopped doing all that and
thought... "none of this is real for me... it's
just not real!" It just seemed to me that there
was a sea of desperate utter sameness... and
bluster... and blandness... it was all too
methodical and too structured and too logical and
too mechanical... and quite frankly, it all... simply
bored the pants off of me... it really did!
Send Out The
Search Party
And after a while, when I'd go on this total
evaluation trail it would then hit me that what was missing
from all this success literature and all the
personal development teaching and motivation stuff
and all that... was the caring and sweetness and beauty
and personality and warmth and true deep
resonance...
all that
seemed to be missing!
Not in huge chunks or anything like that but it all
seemed to be lacking sincerity and spirit and a
true feeling from the heart. There was
nothing heartbreaking or tear jerking about it...
something that gets into the deepest part of the
self whilst still being transformational and without losing oneself by going into a state
of dreamy consciousness or anything wild and
esoteric and spooky like that.
And so, without even knowing it... I would find that my
coaching conversations and consultations
and my email writing and my blog writing... in fact everything
I would write... would be exactly like having a
conversation with a friend or family member. And it
all became magical and exciting and transformative
and I'd feel it and
so would those I'd be communicating and connecting
with.
I don't know
what it was but this understanding and
this awareness and how I am being, in the moment
with life and the beauty and the excitement that's
all around... this is how I thought life should be
all along. And now that I've got it, I'm NEVER going
to let this whole thing go. It's too precious!
