At the age of 52, I realised that I was done with life. I had a wonderful marriage and helped raise 3 perfect children but my mind and body was starting to weaken. With eyesight and hearing starting to go, my memory getting worse every day and no desire to start anything new, what else could I do but start the downward spiral through old age to death.
A few months after making peace with my way down I met someone who brought back the definition of living. His soft spoken way of sharing, explaining and bringing to light old and new truths started me on an incredible journey. A journey of discovering a new passion and purpose in life, a journey of cherishing all past lessons learned, a journey of becoming the ultimate me!
He introduced me to a new way of thinking and a new way of seeing life; he taught me how to use negative and positive experiences as building blocks; he showed me the value of celebrating big and small victories. His mental fitness training helped me release countless unwanted emotions that would otherwise have pulled me down.
In one of my earlier training sessions I collapsed with a slipped disk in my back. This was a terrible path that I’ve been on twice before. I immediately knew that I would be bedridden, in constant pain and on medication for the next two to three weeks. Unable to move, I didn’t know how they were going to get me to the doctor
. I was told to keep still and relax as he held his hand over my lower back for a while. I was surprised as I felt the pain and tension disappear and I could get up and move as if nothing happened. From that day onwards there has never been those pains again, I was healed because of my belief that things would be different for me from that day.
On this current path of extra-ordinary living, I am constantly amazed at the way his positive energy builds me up and helps me be stronger and more sure of myself as I keep discovering new dimensions of who I am.
What a blessing to have such an amazing and inspiring guide to life!
