Every one of us is
born with a purpose and when we look back and connect the dots it’s easy to see
that at any moment we are being guided forwards, however we do not always have
the eyes to see.
I achieved my business
success early in my career through a lot of dedication and effort and it was
when I was literally shining bright near the top of the corporate ladder that
my foundations were shaken.
I remember the moment
vividly. I was managing a large Boots store with over 400 staff, we had smashed
our X-mas targets, broken all records and there was still a week to go before
X-mas.
I was celebrating the
huge success with one of my managers when my telephone rang and the news I
never expected to hear came to me.
My mother had died
suddenly at the age of 60.
My world literally
stopped.
What had seemed so
important in the external world was suddenly nothing at all.
It no longer had
relevance.
Here I was with all
the externals of life, but what use were they when you receive news like this?
This moment was key in
my Spiritual evolution.
I realized that we
have no control over the external world and also in that moment I had no
control over my inner world either.
I felt helpless, lost,
confused and empty.
The following weeks
and months seemed unreal and without meaning.
My reality and life
had changed.
The Universe then took
over and opportunities arose which I accepted.
I moved to Asia to
open a chain of retail stores and later opened an Orphanage.
Whilst doing the work
for the Orphanage I had a realization that people could heal themselves without
any access to western medicine.
As a Pharmacist, this
intrigued me and so I went on a search to learn alternative ways to heal.
I studied Reiki, Feng Shui,
Meditation, Color Medicine, and Mind-Body connections.
I sought out great
teachers and eventually I met Vikas Malkani.
The rest as they say
is history.
The universe brought
us together and obviously had greater plans for us.
We combined our
strengths, created SoulCentre and SoulKids and many years later became man and
wife J
Meeting Vikas has been
a gift from the universe to me.
On reflection had my
mother been alive, I doubt I would have left the UK as we were very close. It
was truly a key piece in my jigsaw of life. It was painful, however it moved me
forwards to something I would not have done before.
Sometimes life throws
us a curve ball.
Something we did not
expect to happen.
It’s painful, it
knocks us off our feet and in that moment our world seems to fall apart
completely.
However, I believe
that if you trust the universe and follow its signs, then everything that
happens to us happens for a reason. The picture of your life starts to unfold.
If you have the courage
to follow the signs then one step leads to another and before you know it life
takes on a totally new meaning.
I now live my life knowing that I have the
inner skills needed so that no matter what happens to me in life, I am able to
handle it.
I know to celebrate
the good times and to be aware that negatives in life will also happen.
I have learnt to count
my blessings and to look for the good in every situation.
I have learnt that
everything is temporary and soon will pass away.
I have learnt to be true
to my heart, to be authentic and to simply give my best.
I have learnt to focus
my time, energy and effort on the things that truly matter in life and to stay
away from dramas :)
I have learnt that we
have one life, so live it fully and leave the world a better place because of
it.
