In June or July this year I was feeling very dispirited, it was winter and I was feeling my full 64 years of age. It seemed that there was not much more to happen in my life, I was drinking more red wine than was good for me, staying in bed longer than was good for me and sitting down watching television for too many hours a day. I knew all of this was shortening my life. I also knew from a previous bout of depression that I was not far away from a repeat session.
Fortunately I knew I was only dispirited and I had a thought that even as my body was aging that I could still use my mind. So I started saying to myself "inspire me" and I found a response in my body. So I kept at it especially in the shower in the morning to kick start my day. Slowly I was getting better and becoming more open to other possibilities. then the Western Bulldogs won the premiership and the next day the Cronulla Sharks so I started thinking that anything is possible. Sometime later I read in the newspaper that the Western Bulldogs read "The Salty Dog" so I bought the book online and recommended was "The Passion Test" so I ordered it as well. Well I read "The Salty Dog" and enjoyed it and yet wasn't overly inspired and I was waiting sometime until October 24 when "The Passion Test" arrived. It as a game changer for me, within two weeks I was at my accountants office announcing that I was returning to the Coaching and Training business that had flopped at in 2008 sending me into depression.
Now I am in business with international connections and ambitions, I have developed a coaching for change model that is really efficient and I am a trained Passion Test Facilitator. I am ready to change the world for the better and I KNOW I WILL.
