How Not to be Happy & Clear

I woke up this morning and read a long sales letter from Megan Macedo.

I got depressed - thinking: "I am not doing that. I am not good. I should be better."

I started to wonder if my whole life was a mistake - if what I am doing is the right thing for me? That got me thinking about the things I love.

From 8 years old I wanted to be an actor.

At school, I was the odd one out. I mostly felt uncomfortable with other boys and - looking back - I can see a lot of them were uncomfortable with me.

That is - until I started to act.

Brother Kelvin of Marist Brothers Eastwood cast me as a broom-sweeping philosopher in a play whose origins I now forget. However, I do remember the magic of being able to make my audience laugh. The feeling that I had captured their attention, and I was able to offer them nourishment by my actions and words.

It was an incredible, life-changing experience for a lonely, outcast boy who didn't know his purpose in life.

One that day, with that performance, I had my purpose.

From then on I declared to all and sundry "I am going to be an actor", and I kept that purpose front and centre. Just like in the movies - before I ever saw it done - I would sit in front of the mirror in my all-yellow room and talk about my future to my Self.

The dream sustained me in a life I within which I felt I was drowning in. School was never my thing. I used to walk home rather than go in the school bus - full of aggressive young testosterone boys looking for the next victim to demolish.

I was never going to be their victim.

All of these thoughts swished through my mind as I read Megan's fire-of-baptism sales letter, explaining how her journey led her to be doing what she is doing.

Sometimes you need to step back and ask the big questions: is this the life I want? Am I authentic and true to the person I want to be?

I'd love to end this email with a triumphant affirmation that - Yes! I am on the right path. And it doesn't come to me. All that occurs to me is this:

When you join with me in my coaching, I don't try to pretend I am anything else but the person I am. Even though I have notable success on the outside, my struggles and needs are the same.

You can join MasterMinders any time, and find a group of people who struggle with their situation, driven by a deeper purpose which is not always clear.

Not always clear. That's why we work together. Human beings need each other.
