St Mary's Le Bow London 20th Feb 2009Interesting week after the midterm break, 11 in class, and start by being asked if anything excited happen at all. I mention the Empowerment Workshop and the ZING factor and finding genuine peer-peer connections. Paired off to talk about own hero’s journey. Mine own experience of a real challenge was 10 years previously when I met my wife to be and had to make a life changing decision, to leave my job, home, country, culture, family behind for a challenging and enriching experience (being married, with a new daughter, country, culture and work environment). The whole episode in perspective was a unique and rare opportunity to test one’s resolve to undertake a major life transition without knowing the result. How I coped and managed seemed determined by my wife and her family that made the transition easier than I imagined. My time spent aboard was beneficial from many aspects (I learned to be Mexican – love music, dress style, cook fantastic meals, travel to see the ancient civilisations, understand real poverty, living and working in harmony as never before). I also published several professional papers afterwards and chapters in a local health care book (good result), and had a strong knowledge of cultural diversity with overseas students and can empathise with them.
This leads onto one’s own intelligent purpose and I reminded of Steve Pavlina website
Paired up with a 53 year lady Christian and worked through Hero's Journey. She was not that comfortable to startv with but soon opened up when we realsied we had similar background. A born again Christian and slightly more than I bargained for with Gospel quotes and thoughts. She thinks NLP and Christainity are good for each other.
