I am Sorry for Poking the Corner of the Box

I have no idea what the title of this email means, but I love the expression all the same.

It's a google translation of a Japanese email.

A trainee wrote to BodyChance about mistakes in the subtitles of BodyThinking Online. And that last line was their apology.

It's coming up to 20 years that I have lived and worked in Japan.

Even tonight, coming home from Shinjuku, I was marvelling at the fact I lived here. This tall, odd-looking foreign guy, amidst a sea of Japanese faces.

WHAT AM I DOING HERE???

It's phase two now, finding an even stronger reason to say.

Phase two will be miraculous; I am looking forward to it. It's my last lifetime project, and - if I succeed at it - it's legacy will dwarf my other accomplishments:

Establishing the first training schools in Sydney and Melbourne

Founding AUSTAT (and writing their constitution for them)

Bringing Erika Whittaker out of retirement at the end of her life

Editing and Publishing DIRECTION Journal for 20 years

Bringing the work of Marjorie Barstow to Australia, Europe, and England

Establishing and guiding BodyChance - the world's first Alexander College.

Founding ATSuccess and training teachers how to find students offline and online

Not a bad list.

But it will all seem insignificant if I can live long enough for my hurrah.

PPHS - that's the new venture.

Productive and Profitable Health Systems.

Alexander's discovery packaged for sale and implementation into Corporate Japan. And I will bring this brand of AT (Alexscovery Teaching) to the UK in 2019, which I plan to make my second home now that my girls have gained citizenship.

I think a long way ahead.

My success is dependent upon dreaming. Upon taking risks. Upon being willing to transform and change - despite the age, situation or times I am in.

All documented and readied for others in my second module of ThinkingBody Online. You will find it an excellent way to jolt your own life; to practice rethinking what you think you already know.

Get a fresh perspective - what is there to lose?
