78 Not Out
Changing Step . . . A New Beginning
This is the 50th ‘Freedom Letter’, the last in its current format. It’s also a couple of days after my 78th birthday and I was thinking of telling you my ‘story’.
When I started looking at it, it began to turn into a full-on autobiography – which considering everything which has ‘gone on’ over this time – so far – seems like an interesting enterprise over the next few years!
There is some ‘about me’ in the Freedom Coach website but I’m thinking of something far more comprehensive.
I’ll just pick out a few key ‘lessons’ and how I can use their wisdom to help you in your life’s enterprise. I’ve mentioned ‘The Elders’ before, so today I’ll distribute some ‘pearls’.
I’ve been to and in many places, played many roles, and interacted with many communities and cultures. Some people describe me as a ‘jack of all trades’ but unlike the usual epithet I believe I’m master of a few of them!
I feel essentially there are three things going on – maybe more. They’re concurrent, but sort of in this order. To me these are the key elements of life, and I could probably turn each one into a book! (If I wanted to)
Learning – taking it all in, practicing the skills of life, the whole school and university experience, learning about being independent, relationships, making my way in different environments, observation, self-learning and formal in person learning courses – continuous – never stopping learning.
Taking Responsibility. Coping with the work ethic. Easier if you have others to be responsible for or accountable to. Being valued. Leadership. Enjoying what I do makes it easier but the hardest part I’ve found is taking responsibility for myself.
Dealing with Adversity – I wasn’t prepared for this, not part of the learning plan I went through but now discovering how as I go on. Feelings of quicksand, wilderness, treading water. The hardest time I’ve ever experienced, still groping in the dark a bit but knowing there are people who care. Developing my coping skills, finding my way out of the maze.
Those are my three key themes. They’ve prepared me and are still doing, for all the ways in which I can use my experience – some say wisdom – to help you and people you know.
I can help:
• If you’re not sure what to do
• If you’re not sure what all this means for you
• If you’ve no idea what to do or ‘lost’ in life
Been there, got all the T-Shirts!
