Unfold

Unfold Unfold 101
What is unfold? First it is a Philosophy; I believe we often live a life closed off from our real power. We begin to long for authenticity. It’s risky.

Beneath the surface of how we show up is who we really are. I could always sense a deeper truth to people. I believe living from that place of truth is the most powerful way to live. So why don’t people live the truth of who they are? We protect ourselves, hoping that one day we will feel safe enough to show up. Eventually how we live and how people see us isn’t who we are at all. What if we lose everything we’ve already built? Sometimes we are brave. Sometimes we need to be pushed. We long to feel fully alive. To Know who we are and live a life we love. Not everyone needs to unfold…but I am someone who does. For a long time on my journey to living fully awake I felt very alone. But I started to find out a lot of people felt the way I do. Unfold was my story about wanting to live fully awake. Then it was a program I developed to help young people prepare themselves for life. Eventually I started sharing my work with people struggling to deal with changes in their lives. People I was meeting at school in business and in my personal life. Transformation is more difficult for some of us. People felt safe with me, they felt seen, they felt like they weren’t alone and they felt supported by some of what I was sharing. My writing was a creative outlet
Sharing my writing helped offer people perspective, encouragement and inspiration. Workshops grew as I shared what I have learned and I continued to build and refine a curriculum. Becoming a coach allowed me to provide one-on-one guidance support and positive mirroring. It gave me the tools to help move people to positive outcomes and personal power. It has become my life purpose to help people along their journey. To help them know who they are and live lives they love. It has become my joy to live among a community of people transforming ourselves into compassionate fulfilled and inspiring individuals connected to our inner wisdom and power. Growing stronger happier whole lives.

The focus of your attention is on Making A Difference. You are committed to wellbeing (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) You have a real sense of LIVING your purpose. Life feels like it is “in flow”. You are creative and spontaneous, accepting and empathetic. You have found a tribe of like-minded individuals and have alliances that support a purpose-driven existence. You are guided by a strong intuition and are able to mentor others. Yes, this is the level of self-actualization. Maslow believed it wasn’t sustainable. I dare you to prove him wrong. His work followed two world wars. We live in a very different reality. If you can’t be optimistic, please put your little token down. This game might not be for you. This stage is about internal cohesion; Synthesis; joy and wisdom.

In 2005 I was asked to assist with a work readiness programme being run on behalf of the department of labor in Gauteng. I had turned 38 the year before and was on the back end of some serious soul searching. Who am I? What is my life all about? I felt I was exclusively without a map and a compass. I am embarrassed to say I felt for a long time, too long, like I was somehow being taught a lesson by life. And I was proving to be a very slow learner. Now I see I was simply moving into level 5. To Create, To Speak, and To Be Heard.

What’s not to love about Thursdays? You can see the weekend over the horizon and the hardest part of the week is behind you. It’s a bit like Level 4, finding freedom and autonomy. Discovering who you are, beyond the parental programming and cultural conditioning of your formative years. This level is about answering the questions; “Who am I? And, “What is important to me?”.

Between the ages of 8 and 24, you start to test yourself in a bigger world. You are testing and establishing your social value. How you will show up in the world. How YOU developed confidence, how you focus your attention on achievements that are important to you. How you gain the respect of others, how you learned competence and self-reliance. This stage is about starting to see what you care about. How you put effort into acquiring your own personal experience of life and the tools you need to access them.

Whatever you choose to believe about this life, you are here. And the first 7 years of your life were shaped as much by your family of origin as it was by your reaction to it. Aristotle is supposed to have said, ‘Give me a child for the first seven years and I will show you the man’. The psychological development (what goes on beneath the surface of your life and runs the show), of Levels 1 and 2 were established before you ever had any real choice in the matter. So why bring them up here? Exactly my point. If you are still struggling with these two levels you have the power to master them now. How? Let me guide you to understanding them.

As promised, today I am introducing you to Life in 7 Stages. At the beginning of a game, it’s a good thing to understand the rules. For some reason we are NOT taught them in life, we have to find them out ourselves. I don’t think it’s cheating to share them here at all. I am ready to start playing. Having more people know the rules makes the game so much more fun.

My intention this week was to invite you on a journey to being fully present in your life. I have arrived at Friday with such a sense of accomplishment. When we set out to do something it grounds us. It gives us a place to begin and a direction to move in. It is called presence and it is a beautiful thing.

The False Self is our ego, desperately trying to protect us from the things we most fear; pain, shame, anger, despair, insignificance, loss. But feelings are the very elixir of everything ever created. We are born to feel, to respond to how we feel, and to live lives that touch us deeply. Lives that make us feel fully alive. And, to know that because we live, our lives make a contribution to the world we live in, and the world we leave behind.

When we get to the place in our lives when we are ready to make a change it is almost a last resort. Human beings don’t generally love change and that is why we exhaust all options before accepting something needs to be changed. Even then, we long for some confirmation, advice or assistance from any and all sources. “Give me a sign,” we say, “so I feel confident that I have made the right decision”

By the time we are ready to face the truth of our circumstances, we have missed all the warning signs, we have ignored all the messages, and now we don’t have a choice. Something Needs to Change.

At the beginning of ANYTHING, a meeting, a party, a marriage, a business, a project, it is important to have a vision. Some idea of WHY you should invest your time and energy. Monday is a great day to set a strong intention for the week. This week I want to share my intentions for this website and the social media that supports it.
