Once upon a time there was a little child who had big ideas and big hopes of changing the world. He spent several years in education, came out with his ideals intact but his pockets emptied. He went into a chosen career path where his pockets became filled and his ideals emptied.
Then deciding that there was more to life than this, he withdrew from the rat race. And spent his allotted years elsewhere.
Once upon a time there was a little girl who studied hard, worked hard and graduated. She formed a stable relationship, had two children and for years was content with her lot. Yet every now and then she’d hear a little knock, the faintest of whispers that said ” Is this it?”
The reply often came back as “What can one little person do?”
The world is awash with talented people, however talent isn’t enough. Life can knock you about; sometimes we need a hand up, sometimes a push forward.
The world is filled with “little people” who are capable of being far more than they could every dream of being. A little person with a big footprint.
Gamechangers are those people we read about in sports who have the ability to turn a game around. Gamechangers have the ability to scare the opposition into submission.
They either score heavily in a match, run goals or inspire others around them to achieve new heights.
My early years were on a warm Caribbean island of Trinidad, I now enjoy being in a colder clime, that is the UK. I love the views from mountain tops and (sometimes) the challenge of getting there.
Fast forward twenty years through a medical degree, diplomas in Counselling and life coaching and this is the result. A husband. A father. A Church Leader. Addicted to learning. Learning to live. Living to leave a legacy.
Why write?
There’s a quote that goes:
We exchange pounds and we still each have £1.
We exchange ideas, and now we each have more.
This for me is a record of some of the ideas I’ve found along the way, and some of my thoughts on them. If no one else reads them I will not be disappointed (too much), but at very least I willhave moved forward in some way.
If you are blessed by any of this, then I am blessed.
I write not as somebody who has the answers but someone with questions
My hope is that this blog will be of use to leaders, learners and seekers.
These are some of my thoughts and answers to questions I’ve been asked along the way.
My prayer is that not to be simply changed by my circumstances but to be that Gamechanger.
To be that little person with a big footprint.
