My Story So Far

Are you walking away from what matters most in your life?
Do you ever feel like you are taking the safe road rather than the one that is right for you?

I was.

As a young sales professional I had finally found the financial stability I had spent years trying to attain. With my new income, I was no longer worried about month to month survival, and could start to save for the future. I had a busy social life, a girlfriend, and an active life of hockey and personal training. Life was good.

During my second year employed at this company, I began to feel an intense sense of anger and resentment at work. I didn’t know where it came from or how it started, but I was upset that I was constantly repeating the same tasks day in and day out, and not doing something I felt was meaningful. The anger was not only contained in my thoughts, I could feel the heat of anger stirring in my chest and emanating across my back, from the temples of my head and from my eyes, as if my mind and body were revolting at the life I was living.

Seeing this anger, I tried to keep it inside where it could do no harm, yet deep within my Being I knew something was desperately wrong and had to change. My day to day work environment began to confirm all of this to me. Conversations with customers and colleagues alike unfailingly disclosed their strain as they tried to keep up in the rat race. Comments like ‘Oh God, I hate Mondays’ were no longer funny to me, but made my heart sink into my abdomen. Common justifications like ‘oh well, what are you going to do?’ no longer offered closure, but instead felt like a starting point. “What am I going to do?”

My future was up in the air. I knew that this wasn’t freedom. I felt that I couldn’t go on this way for another five years, let alone fifty. I wondered how some people appeared to just stick out their dissatisfaction for so long. It seemed so inhuman. Voicing this concern to others, I was often reminded of the money I was making, as if it somehow infused meaning into a life lacking in real purpose. But with my highest paying job to date, I was not able to escape the fact that I was capable of much more and meant for something higher.

I had long fostered an interest in how those who control and implement law, education, politics, religion, and commerce can dramatically affect the lives of human beings. My situation at work led me to intensify my research. The results of this study opened my eyes to the truth of the statement “Knowledge is power”. There is an entire world that people just don’t know about, and remaining ignorant of this world by choice or by accident breeds the same result: limitation, and suffering.

I was finding answers for some of the questions that haunted me while disconnectedly going through my days at work. These insights removed any last sense of complacence I had with my status quo. I felt like an atomic bomb about to detonate. I was not about to compromise my life for what people felt was ‘normal’ or ‘safe’. Life is meant to be passionate, inspiring, and full of awe and wonder, not dull, tedious, and meaningless. This wasn’t life.

Eventually I understood that I would rather die trying to live a life of meaning than settle for a life where I felt dead inside. Reflecting on this truth, I made a commitment to myself, to no longer spend my life, power, energy, or free will doing anything that doesn’t lead toward my life purpose. Upon making this commitment I could feel the energy shift inside of me, the tension shifted to expansiveness. Anger shifted to inspiration, and although I wasn’t sure what my purpose was I knew I was on a collision course with it.

Since then I’ve been propelled along a path of discovery and self-realization. Like being handed pieces of a puzzle, answers gradually came to me over the course of my life. Rather than adding many new and complex beliefs, I found myself shedding old beliefs about me and my life. In doing so, I learned how to give up my self-imposed limitations. I saw clearly where I had previously held myself back. The problem was not with the rat race 'out there', but the one inside of me, which kept me doing the same things over and over again. I wished I had known all of this sooner, and instantly knew the importance of sharing my knowledge and experience with others. I began to develop an in-depth coaching program, knowing it was different than any others that had come before it.

My purpose has become clear: I am relentlessly dedicated to helping people tap into their inner wisdom to guide them towards their authentic expression and purpose in life. Never beating around the bush, and not giving ‘advice’, we use age old wisdom to help you focus on getting to the heart of who you are, accessing your inner wisdom, and helping you live in harmony with your deepest desires. My goal is for you to become so self-directed and so inspired that you will no longer need support from me or any one else. In any situation, you will find the answers inside.

I want you to get started right now, which is why this blog will provide free resources and information that helped me on my journey. If you need additional guidance, support, or in-depth insight, please contact me for a personal introduction to how you can tap into your inner wisdom.

All the best,
