My story

If I think back to my life ten years ago, it feels very different to the life that I lead today. I remember that I was constantly striving for more, caught up in the corporate rat race. I was impatient to get the next promotion, the next pay rise and the newest phone. Yet, something was missing. I wasn't living a life of abundance, I was living a life of scarcity and that scarcity was reflected in the quality of the emotions that I experienced. I exercised most days, yet I often felt tired and uninspired at work (I even had to take regular naps at work I was so tired). I kept striving for more, thinking that more achievement, more success and more money would ultimately fulfil me, yet no matter how many promotions I secured, or how much money I earned, I was never satisfied. I kept convincing myself that what I was searching for was just over the horizon, but no matter how far I climbed, how hard I pushed, I could never quite reach the pinnacle of success I so desperately craved. What I hadn't appreciated is that I wasn't alone in feeling that way.

To compound matters, whilst I would have called myself a happy person, I lacked self-awareness (and self-confidence). I would often find myself angry, unable to let go of negative emotion. I would readily judge others, but fail to realise how harshly I would also judge myself. I felt the constant need to compare myself to others and never quite measure up. I was reactive and, as a result, I expended far too much of my precious energy on things that were urgent rather than those things that were truly important to me. I was constantly busy, but rarely was I busy on the right things. I was so busy pleasing other people for the wrong reasons, that I rarely felt satisfied myself. I was also quick to blame others but unable to take constructive criticism myself. Despite my outward appearance of success, I remained empty inside.

I remember being the person who got angry when their flight was delayed at the airport. I would be the person who would spend their whole time thinking how unfair it was and looking for someone else to blame. I inadvertently spent much of my time in a negative state, when I could have chosen to live in a much more abundant state. I was too busy fighting my way through life to truly enjoy it. What I failed to realise for too many years, was that what I thought was winning, was actually quite the opposite. I wasn't thriving, I was merely surviving. The way I was living my life, culminated in me edging close to burnout eight years ago, but from that dark place I discovered the knowledge and skills, grounded in the very latest science, that have transformed my life.

An extraordinary life

Fast forward to the life that I live today and it is one of abundance. I have gone from wanting more to having more. From surviving to thriving. If I could pinpoint the single most important thing that has changed, it is that I have learned to no longer be subservient to fear. I have learned to master my own emotions, to understand, learn from and harness the fuel that drives each and everyone one of us. Where I once experienced pain, I now experience joy. Where I once felt emptiness, I now feel whole. Whereas in the past, my happiness was reliant on external circumstances, I have learned to harness my mind so that I now have a choice as to how I experience each day. My happiness is no longer left to chance. The blueprint that I live my life from brings me far more joy, love, fulfilment and success than I could ever have imagined possible ten years ago.
