Today I celebrate 50 revolutions around the sun. I made it ! 😂
A wholesome weekend spent connecting with my favourite humans, my beautiful wife and 3 children, just the way I envisioned it only better. I love you unconditionally now and forever.
I’ve recently sat quiet deeply leading into this half century milestone, what it means, symbolises and reflects within me personally.
A few things I’d like to share that I’ve learned throughout my 5 decades. Take from it what you will and I trust that something will resonate and align for you.
I’ve had a challenging, rewarding, diverse experience in what seems like many lifetimes that I’m eternally grateful for.
Here’s some undeniable truths from me to you.
Be the master of your breath. Breath is life. Consciously connect to it often and you will develop the skill of finding calm in the chaos.
Be the change you wish to see in the World.
Life is short, so live and love fully. Expose and explore all parts of yourself. We are here to explore self. The more we uncover, the more masks we remove, the more armour we unfold the deeper we get to know thyself. The snowball effect from that is the more you get to experience you, the more others get to experience the most authentic version of you.
Speak your truth, take action, prime discomfort and dive into what makes you feel nervous and uncomfortable. This is where all the gold and growth truly lies.
There’s two types of suffering. Suffering and Intentional Suffering. Choose the latter. It’s the only option that comes with rewards.
Resilience is a pivotal aspect of one’s character to overcome adversity, learn from the lessons during that time and utilise the skill of adaptation to move forward more intelligently. Only one who has risked the fight with the dragon and is not overcome by it wins the 'treasure hard to attain'"
Integrity is the highest of all values. Do as you say. Practice as you preach and lead from the front.
The heart holds the power. Open that and share vulnerably with loved ones and you will progressively connect with your soul in the most beautiful way.
The soul carries creativity and grants meaning; it links us to the divine and represents all we could be if wholeness were possible. Honour your soul’s path and you will receive accordingly.
The body undeniably keeps the score. Respect it, nourish it, develop a healthy relationship with it, but above everything create safety with the vessel that hosts your soul.
Everything you need exists within. We’ve been sold a lie. Seeking externally is a fruitless exercise. Don’t wait, the ‘Time is Now’.
Be present, have boundaries, look in the mirror, own and accept your shadows with compassion and self love. Without presence there is no connection.
I wish you a journey towards a life where every whisper of your soul leads you to profound self-discovery and lasting fulfillment. A self that is more complete, a soul that’s free to soar.
This is where purpose resides. I’ve found mine and there’s nothing more real and satisfying than when you are living in purpose. It took me almost 50 years to discover. For that I’m grateful 🙏
Expressions of gratitude for the gifts of nature, to musings about aging and the fragility of life.
This photo of me makes me proud. Proud of how far I’ve come and proud of how much I’ve packed into my 50 years so far. I visit many versions of myself and give him a hug and thank him for showing up exactly the way he did to allow me to experience the current version of me.
Thank you to all those that have allowed me to be a small or maybe pivotal part of your path so far. I’m here to positively affect as many humans as I can while I’m here. I’m just beginning. That’s the exciting part!
Thank you to all those that have reached out and expressed birthday wishes today. I’ve received an overwhelming abundance of love today 🥰
Happy Fucken Birthday to Me 🪶
