Arthur from Sunshine Coast, Australia!
Hello Bloomies!
I am Arthur Maddocks-Brown 😎
I am 32 and live in Australia. Originally from the UK but moved to the Island of Sunshine, great sandy beaches and baking hot sun 23 years ago when I was 9.
I used to be a sporty guy playing football and in adulthood I took up skiing which is my favourite thing to do in life. It is the one thing I feel completely in flow, my heart rate increases, I become more aware of the senses, the cold air on my face, the bumps in the snow, the sounds of nature and people having fun.
I am one with my skis and the mountain and thats empowering!
Nothing compares to it for me!
I joined Bloom Beyond Bullying because I first of all am Danni's partner and I want to support her growth in this space, secondly, this is a real meaningful and purpose driven mission, helping people move through their bullying trauma.
I was bullied when I first moved to Australia at 9 and then when I was in high school for the entire duration. I could count 3 separate reasons and times it was worst.
It stemmed from 1: Being different, 2: Appearing to have more & 3: Being good at what I did (football / soccer)
Unfortunately, I have been on both sides, shamefully. I was bullied, but I also was the bully and I only really identified this later in life as I grew up, what I thought was teasing and joking around now I think was bullying.
This is a great community designed to help victims move forward and become empowered and theres nothing better than that!
The best lesson I have learnt in life so far...
I have many lessons: Trust your gut / instinct, You only fail when you give up, giving up is a death sentence, consistency is the key to all achievements. The most important lesson though I think is to lead life with love, kindness and compassion. When I do things with love, I do it better, more intentional and more committed.
My Favourite place in the world I would say is in a quiet corner on top of a snowy mountain, theres a place in Australia I go skiing where not many people go and it's just so beautiful along the snowy river.
I dont have a photo but I have memories.
My other place is where I grew up (Cornwall)
My Current place is home, I am lucky to live in Noosa with I'd argue the worlds best beaches, it's just magical. (see photo & Video)
Photo that makes me smile (My proudest achievement, the journey to overcome the mental and physical pain present in my life at the time) Mt Kilimanjaro climb.
Great to be here and can't wait to watch this community grow!
