Joel White Takes a Closer Personal Look
There is certainly no end to journeying through life. This is why REWIRED is so important. Joel White is a personal counsellor. He has experienced a lot of trauma, depression, anxiety, been in a difficult marriage and when he was younger he was groomed by an older man. He has also been sectioned. Now at 45 years of age, he is still working on the relationship with himself.
Joel admits he has made bad choices and these played a role in what happened to him. There are two in a relationship, and one of them is himself . “Change starts with me” he says. Things repeat until I learn the lessons. I was not in healthy relationships because I did not have a good relationship with myself. I did not know what a good relationship looked like. And even when I was in a relationship, I did not think I deserved a good one” Joel admits.
What is important is to look at the writing on the wall . There are things to learn when things go well and there is merit in taking stock of what you do differently next time. It is about getting it right most of the time. “We are flawed and that is the beauty of it. For me it is creating a dream now, and shaping that with knowledge, wisdom and spotting who in my life I can influence today. The grounding feature is the reality check on the present which shapes the future. It is about my worth, putting gold in the rich tapestry of life and supporting others. Everyone can give value and every one can receive value. “ Joel continues.
Death should be a celebration , Joel reflects “Taxes and death are inevitable, yet we talk very much about our tax affairs and hardly talk about death. It comes to us all at some time. Rewiring the way we think about dying changes everything, as we become more intentional about how we want to live. Regret is a missed opportunity, the present is important. There is very little we can do about the past. We’ve got to learn from mistakes as well as from getting things right. Reflect on yourself, it is healthy to build on connection points and identify patterns as they emerge. The rich tapestry of life is an integration of the whole of life.”.
