There comes a moment in our lives where no matter what we do, we don’t seem to see an end to our troubles. We end up feeling emotional, down, and hopeless. We lose faith in our abilities, we start to ride a never ending emotional rollercoaster, and we end up feeling vulnerable to the external stimulants that have the power to create an emotional storm.

When this happens, just like the many of the clients I see daily, many of you too end up closing down, withdrawing, and pushing away the people who may be there in your reality to help you grow. It is during this time that you can understand better the reasons you feel that way and get the clarity required for you to go from feeling hopeless to being inspired and stepping into your greatness.

It is rather strange, that it is also in such moments that we stumble across people who feel amazing, are successful, and are living inspired lives. They radiate confidence, kindness, and have a very smart appeal that deep down within ourselves we tend to resent them for and equally find them irresistibly attractive.

They tend to be funny, loving, trustworthy and most of all passionate in what they do. If you make a choice you too can change the destination called hopelessness. No, this is not a blog post to tell you all about somebody who has high self-worth, self-esteem, or self-confidence so that you feel even worse about yourself.

This is not a post to talk about how everything in other people’s life is going perfectly and so can everything in your life. Also, this is not a post that is going to tell you that the world is actually less complicated, less difficult and less challenging than it actually is. This is a post to awaken you, to remind you that no matter what you are going through in your life, you have a voice. And you are important.

Whilst the world may not be perfect and you may feel hopeless at times, one important thing to remember is that you are not alone and things will get better… but you have to use your reasoning, your choice, and your voice.

Recently I delivered a speech at The Inspired Stage on the value of the instrument you all play-your voice. Your voice is your own. It is your own personal projection of the way you are inside. It is the voice of your opinions, of your thoughts, of your emotions.

It is the way in which you inform and communicate to the world about your aspirations, the struggles, the achievements, the good things and the bad things you go through. By using your voice, you are able to express yourself to the world in a way that only you can do.

My talk with the audience at The Inspired Stage was about the importance of using our voice by first telling the audience that I know what it is like to be a refugee, depressed, and homeless. I know the deep, dark despair found in the Syrian refugees that are being uprooted from their homes is the feeling of homeless, hopeless, and fearful.

Once I was a person who thought of me as kind, smart, funny and loving, I slipped into a depression, helplessness, and my self made inner prison during the times when after the civil war in former Yugoslavia broke out, I ended up homeless in the streets of London.

The fact that I was only 19, alone with no family, friends or roof over my head I went through very severe bullying as a refugee and someone who sought safe haven in UK from the atrocities of civil war.

I became very depressed and very suicidal and actually attempted suicide as back then I thought there was nothing more to lose.

While I was in the lowest point of my life, I also began to question myself and my identity. I began to question why I am here, how come many of my comrades died and I survived, and what is it I can do to take back the direction my life was going. I questioned everything about my life, my ability to speak, to be happy, be great and even to live a purposeful life.

But I know I was rescued by the many people that fortune put on my path. It is in their kindness, compassion, and love that I found the strength to overcome the post war depression, the fears from living my life in a limbo, and from not knowing if I will ever see my family again.

Despite feeling hopeless, despite feeling as if I was not valuable, worthy, and despite feeling like I didn’t want to live on this planet anymore, deep down I felt a connection with something greater than I have ever experienced before. It is this inner voice that spoke up to me, it is the love that many people showered me with that became the light that started to shine my path from the darkness that had enveloped my heart.

I knew then I had to listen to my inner voice and the many people that God put on my path or I would end up losing the life that I was born to live. The point here is that I was not strong enough to use my voice, so the many people who fortune put on my path became my voice that slowly started to take me into hope, gratitude, and access my greatness.

I was strong enough to tell few of the people I had developed trusts of my suicidal thoughts, but I was not strong enough to ask for help outright. By making the choice to listen to this inner voice, I saved my life.

If you are someone going through feeling hopeless, acknowledge within yourself the voice that knows that no matter what you are going through, you have a voice and you are important. You too can connect to your authentic voice, listen to your cry for help that can help you prevent from potentially feeling overwhelmed, depressed, and in the worst case scenario commit suicide.

Thus, the importance of using your voice, have coach, or a mentor to help you through this journey is priceless. It could save your life or even the life of a friend. We have all heard it before the saying “There is a light at the end of that tunnel.” The truth is that back then, at the age of twenty, with no family, no income, and no friends my tunnel was black, and so was the many people I came across on my frequent trips to the Home Office in Croydon.

Remember, no matter what you are going through in your life, you are a voice, an authentic being, and you are important. Use your voice. It is the only thing that is uniquely yours that can help you communicate the greatness that lives in every cell of your body. It could save your life. It could save the life of a friend, and it could save your relationship too. Either way, when you’re feeling helpless you need to listen to your voice and the ALARMs that your body is sending you and make sure you communicate them to someone. That is the only way anybody will ever know you need help, that you need support. It’s okay to need that, it’s not okay to not voice your need.

To unleash your greatness be ready to act on those emotions that can put you in the prison of your creation and do what the greatest achievers do in order to rise to be the best in world in their work and personal lives.

To help those who get a thrill in wanting to make the choice to go from hopelessness to greatness in their own lives, in their way of being, as well as create lives they adore I created TJS Evolutionary Method: The ALARM and TJS Meditation Solutions that you can learn this powerful tool that you can use to achieve greatness in all of the eight key areas of life: Spiritual, mental, Emotional, Physical, Business, finances, relationships and money.

#3. Become the master of your craft. The undisputed titan of your field. And–quite simply–the best there ever was.

#4. Protect your pristine reputation. It’s an asset of priceless value. And each day, make your good name worth even more by doing acts of excellence, work that astonishes and gestures that inspire.

#5. When you feel helpless, feel the pain. And then make a choice to stand up. You were born for victory. Use failure as your fuel to propel you to your greatness.

Ok. That’s it for today. Worked hard on this post. Hope it is super valuable, inspirational, and the following five steps are actionable! Until next time, let me take this opportunity to say a big thank you and I love you to all the wonderful team at The Inspired Stage for creating a platform for speakers to Inspire People from all walks of life to be their greatness. In my next book #Loneliness The Virus of The Modern Age I go into much deeper on the global issues that we are all facing now and in the many years to come.

Believe in the call on your life to do amazing things…make today, that day you listen to your call to Greatness!

Be great, awesome, and healthy,

It’s summertime in London, where ever you go you see trees, flowers, and bushes in full bloom. The leaves protect you from the hot summer sun. The warm breezes flow to cool you down from the heat radiating back at you from the heated concreate pathways, buildings, and other objects that easily store suns energy.

We are born great, yet we are taught otherwise. It is this thought that has occupied my mind from an early age that lead me to pursue a life time of learning, studying many life disciplines, and seeking great teachers that helped me in my journey to understand how to unleash the greatness in me, the infinite wisdom that deep down my heart knew I had, and live a meaningful life.

This journey of seeking the truth led me to travel the world and seek opportunities, possibilities, and people who were on a similar journey to not unleash their own greatness, but also to travel the world and teach others the love and the wisdom that is built in each and every one of us.

I know there are many teachers, prophets, and studies that have been around for years but one man that truly helped me integrate the work that started at a very young age is Dr John Demartini.

Following a talk that Dr Demartini held in London I felt that this man was speaking all that I knew, as if he had gone inside my brain and was able to articulate everything that I then did find it very hard to do.

I attended his Breakthrough Experience where I truly let go of the illusion that I held for many years. The story about my relationship with my mother that kept me imprisoned and deny myself the permission to be, shine, and pursue my dreams.

The shift I experienced was amazing, I was fortunate enough to have John as my surrogate during the collapse process, the room disappeared, and all I could see is my mum and me embodied by pure love. Tears of inspiration kept coming out of my eyes, my heart opened, and I could see clearly the path ahead.

I knew John was absolutely relentless in his pursuit of truth, perfection, and greater understanding of life. A year passed by fast, many things started to shift in my life, most importantly I published my book A Path to Wisdom that within four months made it to the Number One List of Amazon Best Selling List in the Personal Development and Spiritual Development Categories.

My personal, family and professional life started to shift fast. As part of my ongoing commitment to my personal development as well as add more value to my clients, my heart knew I wanted to continue to learn from John.

I committed to attend his Prophecy Experience in Johannesburg, I paid for the course in advance, and few days down the line as if by magic I had a coaching request from a client from Johannesburg who having read my book him and his wife decided to fly me over to do some work together. Once again applying the wisdom John shares in his bestselling book “How to Make a Hell of a Profit and Still Go to Heaven” got me to see the magic that unleashes when we honour universal truths.

The Prophecy Experience in Johannesburg helped me witness the pure mastery born of an adult lifetime of learning, practice, and gorgeously expressing itself.

His commitment to his work, monomaniacal focus, study, and sacrifice allowed him to produce teachings that quenched my souls yearning for wisdom, truth, and unleashing the greatness I knew I had since I was a five year child. Each of the seven days John took us through in-depth study of each of the seven areas of life: Business, Mental, Emotional, Physical, Spiritual, Financial, and Relationship.

At the end of seven days intensive work, I felt my already thirty years of study were just given a full upgrade that was needed to go globally and share my work and wisdom to inspire others to embrace their greatness, truth, and love.

So what did John teach me that created immense impact, achievement, and inspired me to go global and have a greater impact?

….It was the 5 Attitudes of Unleashing Your Inner Genius that I am about to share with you all

#1. Do The Work, Walk the Talk.

I do not come often people who sleep on average five hours a day, do a lot of research, and love what they do. John is not seeking fame, fortune, glory, or happiness. He is in pursue of universal truth and teaches how “Balance” just isn’t the game of most people playing at legendary performance. Their lives are all about their craft. It’s their true love, their greatest passion and their central mission. And because of this, they overcome the impatience, self-doubt, fear of stumbling and attraction to distraction that causes most of us to give up prior to genius showing up.

#2. Perfect Your Processes.

Observing John for real, watching all of his videos, and reading his books helped me get that elite performance that takes years of deep training. John sees himself as apprentice, learning the skill (often at the feet of a master) step by step, day by day until he perfects the process and then he goes on and teaches it. He just like me was committed to his education and overcome life adversities in pursue of universal truths. He has ritualized the discipline and now teaches is to those who are called to be more. Spending time with John, sharing few breakfast meetings got me to understand how greatness takes time to master, and I felt inspired to continue to write, learn, and teach all that I have learnt to my clients (Darwin had the devotion to study barnacles for 8 years as part of forging his scientific understanding).

#3. The Courageousness of Originality Is Living Your Dream.

John is no different to me, or you. Like many great teachers out there, he too went through a series of phases. He started as a beginner (every pro was once an amateur). In this period, watch the masters and copy their moves. With focus, grit and practice you too can reach the next part: technical brilliance. Attendees of Prophecy were delighted by John’s proficiency, so was I. As he continued with his teachings, he reached the final stage where he now globally teaches what he has learned. This is where world-class skill meets serious heart. I saw how John has the guts to express his own voice. Do his own thing. Misbehave in ways no one has ever seen or has the courage to do, his natural wit, charm, and love for his work left me feeling inspired to be even more authentic in my teachings, writings and in showing my own greatness. This is the goal of every A-Player. To become a phenomenon, a legend, a timeless being.

#4. Access Your Inner Genius

You are born great, you know that it’s you inner play that prevents you from winning the game of your life. What I mean by this observation is that that being a genius is less about natural gifts than internal character. The titans of all time are not the smartest nor the most talented, the best of the best are those with the character traits that allow them to stick to the vision, transcend insecurity, endure the pain of intense practice and ignore the envious ridicule of their critics. It is what John, I and many of you must do to pursue your greatness, honour your life mission, and live purposeful. It is through accessing my inner genius that I am now bringing into this world my next book #Loneliness The Virus of The Modern Age due to be published in August.

#5 Invest in Your Personal and Spiritual Development

Driving a car without rear and mid mirror is dangerous to you and others on the road. Similarly for you to drive safely through your journey to greatness it is essential to find a teacher, coach, and a mentor that can be your mirrors through your journey to greatness. I am not talking about friend or people who offer you free advice, I am talking about you investing your money, time and energy in someone who can help you achieve the greatness you are seeking.

As a Speaker, Elite Life Coach, and a Spiritual Teacher I am committed to my personal and spiritual development. It is one of the many reasons that I will continue to invest in learning from the best teachers around the world such as Dr John Demartini so that I am constantly providing greater value to every client I am of service to. To unleash your greatness be ready to do what the greatest achievers do in order to rise to be the best in world in their work and personal lives.
