Is this for you?
I don’t know! I know it is for some people and not others. It may not be for you. And it may be perfect for you. To help work that out reflect on the following.
You may be already very successful, but know that you are still miles away from tapping your full potential
It may look from the outside that you have the perfect life and everything sorted. But you know this is not the case. You may instead be living the perfect lie
You are somehow unable to create the change you desire and you have no clarity on what is in the way
You feel it is time for the powerful truth to be revealed and for you to live with integrity and pride
And… is it?
If something stirs within while reading the above, when you feel a ‘yes’ deep down, while also experiencing a strange mixture of elation and some degree of discomfort… you may be ‘in the right place at the right time’.
A personal note from David
Now you have arrived at the bottom of this page I’d like to share a few words with you.
Even though I don’t know who you are and I might never get to meet you, there are two things I hope for you.
First, when you gaze into your lover’s eyes, or the eyes of your children, your friends or family, I hope you feel deep connection and peace. In short, you feel ‘home’.
Second, when you gaze into your own eyes while standing in front of the mirror, you feel pride and joy (go on, try it today for a couple of minutes).
When you can experience these two things deeply… you have truly arrived at the meaning of life.
It is a place words will never adequately portray. It resides in the unconscious dimension, and one all can access. Sadly though, it is only a very small minority who ever do. I wish with all my heart it is you….
Warmest wishes
DG
Words from those who did it!
I am living what I want to do and
being PURE rather than keep everyone else happy all the time!
___
DG you are an awesome human and I can genuinely say that the work you have done with me over just the last 2 weeks already has laid the foundations for me to change my life.
___
I am good enough just as I am, perfectly imperfect!
___
Now just feeling a massive desire to further these lessons and let them sink in. No handbrakes. Not thinking about who I am, being who I am. And driving my own blood train!!!
___
I have been able to put myself in situations that would normally make me very uncomfortable and instead of running away from them I have been embracing them using my deepest intentions
___
I feel challenged in a good way.
___
DG has helped me understand the way in which I operate and excel. He has helped me simplify my process and what I need to do to get into ‘the green’.
___
I have been able to set goals and work towards them every day.
___
I am now able to speak up with other managers.
I’m singing everywhere now.
___
It feels so warm and so peaceful.
___
What an amazing four sessions, so much more than I expected (and i expected a lot).
___
DG helped me deepen my self-awareness and provided real clarity on my focus, plan and projects moving forward.
___
It’s been a liberating process…
___
Sessions have been great and given me a number of tools that I used, and can continue house, going forwards. These tools were simple, easy to use, effective and just nailed it.
___
I learn so much from the sessions.
___
After that first session I came away absolutely buzzing!!
___
I have a gained a lot of confidence from using these tools and done things I normally would have very quickly run away from.
___
I think the biggest take home for me is I try to look at things in a different way, I try and focus on the good rather than the ugly in embracing the good, the ugly gets smaller and manageable.
___
Just the right balance of focus, fun, laughter, swearing and curiosity.
