WHO am I?
A TRUTH of ME
What does happiness, contentment, fulfilment, or success feel like to you?
To me, at least to an aspect of me, it feels like this: I feel like I have just won the lottery. Just me and two cats, working in a quiet place, putting things together while the rain pours down outside.
You know when you are living the life that life wants you to live because it feels right. That is the easy bit.
MY STORY
By fifteen I just wanted out. To what degree this urge was a part of my nature or the result of some unresolved trauma I cannot say. Only that my urge to travel was unstoppable.
At 29 I returned to the UK, earned a degree, and pursued a career as a writer and filmmaker, with coaching on the side.
But unresolved trauma, masked for decades behind addiction and striving to achieve, eventually caught up with me.
My health collapsed and so did my life.
LIVE WELL!
To live well is to see ourselves and our lives clearly and then to act towards those experiences that come come to realise are truely worth our while.
This clarity does not come from who we think we should be but rather from coming to terms with who we are - and all that we are called to become.
When we find and live this truth life has a tendency to improve - not because it gets easier, but because the paths become clearer for what they are.
Our connection to, expression of, and living in alignment with these truths seems central to our health and well being.
WHO ARE YOU?
Who we are is equal to our ability to experience life honestly, openly, and fully.
Learning the truth of ourselves and the truth of the world is key in that process.
Expressing these truths as fully and openly as we are safe to do so is another.
Living true to the life we feel called to live takes courage, as does facing the truths that we find out about ourselves and the world.
I am devoted to this in my own life and to helping as many people as I can do the same, in whatever way I can.
Of course, there are many way to answer the question 'Who am I?' for now I trust this will be enoug.
Clive.
