Hello, Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening whatever your state of play is right now, Welcome to The Takeover Strategy, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Great to be here again writing to you guys and girls, life is great, and greatness only comes from hard work and Dedication.
Today I am going to give you an insight into my life, after all, you must all want to know who you are talking to and I expect you are wondering who I am and what I do, where I live, what has happened in my life, why I am the way I am? Was I always this way? You need to hear my story, hopefully, it will inspire someone or give them an understanding of their current situation. I am forty-six years old and I live in the United Kingdom in a place called Staffordshire, which for those of you who don’t live in the United Kingdom is bang in the center of the United Kingdom. I come from a broken family, broken in the sense that my mum and dad divorced when I was 15 years old, my parents are good people and I have a good relationship with them. I have a sibling who is my younger brother, he is four years younger than me. I have two daughters, one is 18 years old and the other is 14 years old, I had them both with different women, and both women are beautiful people, I don’t hold any grudges, they have found me happiest and that makes me happy. My daughters are very special to me, as I am sure everyone’s children are to them, I probably wasn’t the best father whilst they were growing up, I could have been there more, but I was too indulged in myself, trying to look good, trying to impress the next woman, partying, playing football, hanging out with my friends. I was never a big drinker, and I still hardly drink to this day, but I liked socializing, although now knowing what I know about myself it wasn’t based on me being sociable, it was more based on how I viewed myself.
I don’t want to give you my whole life story today as that would take far too long, but that will come in time as I will write a book or books one day, I have lived a fruitful life and I have many stories to tell. Today I want to talk about something that happened to me in December 2019, which was an experience that changed my life forever.
I have always been a great lover of women throughout my life, I have had many relationships I have had 15 as I counted them recently. These relationships were in-depth and loving at the time, I have experienced love many times, I am a loving human being, and I love everyone, so for me, it wasn’t hard to fall in love with someone, but was I doing it for the right reasons? The reason I am telling you all this is that it has played a pivotal role in my life, and I didn’t see it at the time, but now looking back I can see how these relationships were meant to happen. I am not going to go through every single relationship I have had, but the last three or four have played a massive part in my life, I call it the wake-up period.
In 2015 I met a woman that had just come out of a marriage, she didn’t like me at first, but as time went on with my persistence I started to warm to her, and we ended up having a very close relationship, she also had a young child at the time who I became very close to, and she became close to me. It was the first time I had been in a loving family from memory, or at least been part of one, there was so much love in that relationship, not just with me and the woman involved, but from the little girl towards me and me towards her. Although I had two children of my own, I had never grown with them as I and their mums had separated before I got to do that properly. This relationship taught me so many things about myself, it helped me grow up very quickly, it helped me experience love on another level, it helped me experience in-depth family life, she taught me how to cook, she taught me how to laugh and have more fun, she taught me the first stages of me being organized, she helped me want to achieve more in my life, she pushed me, she was loved by my family, she was a good communicator, she helped me look at my bad behavior, however, those patterns continued for a long time after. We did of course split up in the end, it had run its course, as it wasn’t meant to be forever it was a stepping stone, but at the end of this relationship it was the start for me, I didn’t realize it until later on, I didn’t realize it until probably a few months ago.
When we split up we got back together again and I started meditating through not sleeping, it was just a random meditation app, it was an old boss that turned me onto it, as he also had trouble sleeping. So I started with this app, it was good I enjoyed it, I then started questioning the world we lived in, this started happening with me questioning conspiracy theories, but now I know it wasn’t me questioning those theories, it was me questioning life, something wasn’t right, something didn’t feel right to me, I wanted answers! This led me to crystal healing, I then started meditating with crystals because I was reading more and more and something was surfacing in me.
The relationship ended in January 2017 and I continued my behavioral patterns, at the end I left meditation, crystals, and everything that surrounded it, I went back into my old patterns of trying to find my next partner, hitting the gym massively, but for the wrong reasons, not because I wanted to look good for me, I wanted to look good for everyone else, I never did anything for me, it was all based on image, having the best looking woman on my arm, with the best body, I had to look good, I had to be loved by everyone, I was heavily in my EGO. In the end, I did meet someone new online and she lived five hours from me, and because she was beautiful and had a cracking body after a short period I sold all my stuff, left my hometown, left my job, although I had a new one, and I moved into with her, not knowing her, but I was desperate to be with someone, anyone! I won’t go into huge detail about this relationship there is no point, she was a nice woman, but she did many things to me that were not of the best nature, she had many issues she needed to deal with, and I hope she has now found the help she needed. But for all the trials and tribulations, this is where I was pushed back into everything relating to a spiritual awakening, this was the toughest, but the most rewarding part of my life.
This relationship ended in October 2019, she had met someone else and wanted me to move out! I had no family, nowhere to live, hardly any money, I had a job and I had just landed a new job with a major global business, so things were ok. I was heartbroken, really heartbroken, but it wasn’t the heartbreak, it was the anxiety I had built up in me from the situations I found myself in with her. So I started looking for a property after living in a hotel for a month or two, now looking back I wasn’t looking for a property in my normal area of life, I wanted something very quiet, very out of the way, no one around it was almost like my Soul was preparing me for something to happen, and it did!
I found a property in a small village and I settled there, I only had a chair, TV and a bed. This was the start of a very dark time for me and I had just started a new job with a wonderful company and a wonderful Sales Director, who I must add, helped me massively, he was like a guardian angel to me through this period, I shall never forget him, I believe he is an earthy guide to me. I will never forget the first time I met him, he came down the stairs and he had a huge smile on his face, I shall never forget it, it almost said to me, you made it, you here, your where you are meant to be, honestly the weirdest feeling. He is by far the best mentor I have ever had and one of my true friends, he does however and he won’t mind me saying have this little micro-management style, which can be overpowering at times, but a truly great guy, and very inspirational, his work ethic is sickening, he puts me to shame and that is saying something as I work 85 hours a week, that’s two full-time jobs! But that’s because I am hungry, hungry for success and I have a purpose in helping as many people as I can before I leave this world.
I went home for Christmas to see my parents my brother and my daughter (Eldest) in 2019, I stayed there for three days and I had a huge need to go home, although I had nothing to go home to, just a chair and a bed! It was almost like I knew, I kissed my Mum and Stepdad goodbye and I didn’t see them for two years, I didn’t see anyone, it was like I was kissing my mum and going off to war, it was like I had a mission to uphold! I arrived back home late one night, it was raining heavily all the way home, it was dark and cold! I remember walking in and thinking “WOW” I don’t think I have this anymore” It might be time to say goodbye, to the world” It wasn’t that I didn’t want to live, I just didn’t know how to live again! Then, it happened!
I ended up going to the deepest darkest place I have ever been, so dark I can’t even tell you how dark. It went on for a solid three to four weeks, the only way I can describe it is like a snake shedding skin, I was stripped bare! It was like God/the universe had taken everything from me, I had nothing no confidence, no belief, no direction, no idea who I was, what I was doing, I had no worldly belonging, I was lost in darkness! I was still trying to hold on to any last bit of me I could and I did manage to hold on to parts of me for a long time, but I will come onto that later. I didn’t wash, clean and I hardly eat, I cried and cried, painful, painful cries out for help, prayed and prayed, it was a painful experience, and, it brings me to tears as I am writing this, it was tough, but also very liberating! At the time I didn’t know what was happening to me, I was changing and it was frightening, I didn’t recognize myself anymore, and when I say I didn’t recognize myself, I mean I could see nothing in myself that I once did!
So when I say this lasted for three to four weeks, it didn’t last for three to four weeks, it continues today, I am on the spiritual path now and that is a lifelong journey, it never ends! I started back at work still going through this, and I still managed to keep it together, no one knew and no one knows apart from a select few in my life, many wouldn’t understand it, and many don’t go through this in life, but I was called to fulfill my purpose, but for me to do this I had to be stripped back to NOTHING, I HAD TO RE-BUILD MYSELF!
So, whilst going through this period the Covid pandemic hit, I was then left on my own for nearly two years as I mentioned earlier, with no one, and zero connections! But looking back, being on my own was what I needed, this was all part of the plan, this was all meant to happen in divine timing, and my divine timing was that I was being separated from everyone to re-adjust! So much happened to me in that two years, I will explain fully in my next Blog!
The story continues!
