QUICK STORY
My earliest years, I remember we were living above our family fruit shop, I remember my parents working all the time, hardly seeing my Dad who worked extreme hours.
My Mothers parents lived close so I did spend allot of time with my Grand Mother who only spoke Italian, so I recall not being able to speak English very well.
I was six when my Grandfather died , and vaguely remember him, but I do know he battled cancer for years before he died, and the family having to deal with that ordeal, which may have been one of the reasons for the night terrors I had for years, and a recurring dream I still remember to this day.
My first day of school was in fact that, my first day of school, no prep school for me. It was the first time ever separated from my mum or Grandmother , and I recall I didn’t cope well, Yr 1 was particular brutal as the teacher teased me on a daily basis because I could not spell my name in English, as well as many other things that as a kid is traumatic…….. I hated her.
Forward 50 Years and allot has happened (to say the least), including the realisation of an horrific experience I had at around the age of five. , I really must of blocked that out, but was somehow triggered again at about the age of 35 during an NET session. (Kinesiology) It is true that your muscles have memory, not just your unconscious mind.
In my teens , I had no clue what I wanted to become or wanted to do. I guess I just went with the flow without much thought, thinking that everything was going to workout exactly like my parents, uncles and aunts, more concerned about my girlfriends future rather than my own.
Being the eldest son of migrant parents, their wish was that I would become a Doctor or lawyer, to have more opportunity than they did (but this was never going to happen), though I did become an accountant thinking it would make them happy.I still had no clue what I wanted to do and that was worst 10 years of my working life. Though I did learn the lessons along the way.
If I had my time again, I would have focused on sports or been artistic in some way which I was passionate about, but never pursued due to my upbringing (fears and beliefs or should I say, lack of belief in myself) so I went against my natural flow, but that was something I had no clue about back then.
Funny thing is that as I grew older, I kept repeating the same non-serving patterns and so as life was becoming serious. I still put others first, neglecting what would feed my soul, which lead to wrong decisions made with good intentions , which ultimately created tough times for me, including a marriage which was taboo in my family, and which drove me close to a nervous break down.
It was after this experience (not by design) that I discovered counselling and coaching (for myself) and did get addicted to it. Having life coaches , fitness coaches and attended many coaching programmes to help me overcome my issues and to become a better person, now a very self aware person.
Being mentored over those years (and still to this day) was the greatest gift I gave myself.
Ironic thing is that even in my younger years, I realised there is one thing I'm really good at and that is listening and understanding others. I am fascinated and care about people so over the years I mentored many people who had asked for my support and guidance , firstly in fitness, weight loss, and then in other areas such as relationship and business advice.
I am definitely better equipped now to share the lessons Ive learned, both through my personal experiences, higher education and constant and never ending improvement. (continued self learning)
