People always want to know what was the spark that led to the fire of the change in me. I think when you study a persons past then you will know why they are who they are and if you study mine you will see why & that's also why I don't force who I am onto others because freedom and health are my values, my lifestyle and my goals and they are mine along but with any unique story comes the unique pain. I've learned a lot through my life, I'm not even 30 years old yet and have had more life experience than most, but I have arrived now & I am at home and I am at peace.
The running calendar next year isn't loaded with the events as what I've done is finished and the newspapers, the medals, prizes, good luck messages, letters and everything else just go in the journey box now that I'm grateful for. The journey at first was to prove to myself and the world around me that I was good enough, that I was deserving of love and that pain led me to do all that I do. Now that it's all done I look back with a smile, and realise the spark in the fire happened on the 28th of December 1985 when I was born and the fire was lit when I found out the reason why I was born on that day and have found my peace and fulfilment. I believe everyone is on a journey, everyone is handed a puzzle to put together in life of their own model and it's put together by the way that they shape the world. By me building my best self then the world around me came into place by doing so and I'm forever blessed for every life experience I've had as it all makes sense now, it's built me a bullet proof mindset from a young kid to the dark cells of solitary, to the mountains alone to face everything inside of myself in meditation and to the TV set and into your life's. I'm blessed to be connected with this life around me, with you all now, and know that without entertainment or drama people may leave my life and that's ok. I wish you peace. There's a saying that goes "People are rewarded in public for what they practice for years in private" it's no fluke that I'm now giving psychology and recovery talks to doctors or sharing this journey with you now. It's no accident that we all connect at certain times in our life and looking back when I had nothing and the solitary, meditation and the alone times, looking back the only thing I had was an Internet connection to a Buddhist monk Ajhan brahm and it was all I needed to open up the door to my heart and to my house and to everyone in my life now. After devastating, emotional and disastrous life events it's ok to seek the comfort and the peace wherever you can. I sent over an email to thank Ajhan brahm for which the reply came from the monastery "It was you that done it" I use that same phrase anytime someone says I helped them change their life's and my life's purpose is being my best self and that's my biggest success, it always will be.
What's next for me is very simple. There's no need for big challenges, podiums, papers or TV. I am where I want to be with who I love, doing what I love for who and what I love. It's just about enjoying life now to be free in mind, to be healthy in body, to meditate, to read books, to run, to give back in ways that my journey connects and always contribute into the world around me. To be with nature and animals, to write, to talk, to share and to care for the close relationships that I have in my life, for you and for the strangers still to meet on the journey forward and for the animals I meet on this ultra journey through life.
I am just a reflection of a life lived and whatever you see in me is a reflection of what's inside of you to, it's no accident you have connected to me just like it was no accident how I connected to Ajhan brahm. Always remember the name of the person who overcame the odds so you can use that person in your own journey one day. From meditation to all the people in my life now, I'm forever grateful and blessed to be given the opportunity to just be me. My close friends always knew it was never about the running and it was about people, but life's all about timing and I share this part with you now. Here's to water, fruit, reading books and the ultra life #SmileEveryMile 🍒📝🌍🏃🎎
