Life is complicated. Why make it more so with esoteric formulae and "20 steps to this" or "53.5 principles of that..."? If you're a "seeker" of truth like I am, it makes all the difference in the world.
Without going into too much detail about my circumstance, when you find yourself face to face with obstacles, finding answers becomes a matter of life and death. Facing up to a dead-end career, living an increasingly lonely life and dealing with a crumbling financial "present" have been my burdens to bear. I know I'm not alone in this.
But enough is enough. There has to be more to life than this. This is my turning point.
Dynamic Living is, according to Skip Ross, a life of joy and happiness, free of worry or fear...
Two years ago I was hospitalised with double pneumonia. The reason? A lowered immunity due to stress, negativity, self-disgust, feelings of inadequacy... the list goes on. As I lay in the ward recovering, I knew that things had to change. I just didn't know how. The only thing I knew was that if I didn't change, I would sink deeper and deeper into depression... and we all know where that ends up. Fast forward two years. Has anything changed for the better? Well, yes and no. I "walked out" of my "well-paying" job as Creative Director for an advertising agency 4 months ago and sold my dream house that I'd renovated. Disaster? Not at all. These are two items I had actually written down as goals for this year. Why would I do that? Because I'd realised that these were not my deep-seated dreams. Advertising does not make the best use of my talents, and the house was built on the back of that empty career.
I felt like my God-given talents and abilities were being traded for futility.
In the run-up to these events, I had started searching for a new business career that offered a residual-based income, lots of travel, opportunities to re-skill and to meet new people. I was intrigued with the business education programme which I subscribed to immediately, after all, I had lots of growing to do. And that's how I got introduced to Skip Ross and his Dynamic Living series.
I am grateful. Not because Skip Ross is a wonderful super-duper guy, although I am sure that he is, I am grateful because the timing is right for me to absorb the information. I am right now truly able to understand the gravity of what he says. Nothing he says is new - by his own admission all of what he teaches is as old as the hills, but he puts together a story which is easy to grasp, likeable, entertaining. He connects the dots and points me in the direction I know I want to go. Added to my God-Given Equipment, the Principles of Success multiplied by a Proper Self Image will get me there.
I want to change. I know that I have the life I have because I have been negligent of and ignorant to certain principles. But the good news is that I can make it happen. I can take action by spending time writing down goals, giving them a date, re-learning a proper self-image, forgiving people, embracing change... things I know to be true. Things that require time alone to review and time with people to practice.
Keep you posted!
