Our story or personal narrative, starts when we are children

Our story or personal narrative, starts when we are children. It’s built with information we gather from the world around us and from what others tell us about ourselves.

This early childhood narrative sets the stage for what we feel and think about ourselves in the future.

My fathers narrative about what it meant to be part of our family was “we are strong, charismatic warriors that can build things”.

On my mothers side the narrative was “we are highly intelligent priests searching for truth”.

I gained in part a fusion of both narratives.

My family also gave me a personal story that started with my name.

Noah : Rest (or peace or comfort) Jonathan : God gave

So I was the one given by God to bring peace/rest/comfort.

From a young age I was told I would to do something great and world changing.

A mission.

At 2 years old I started training to be a minister.

Bible study Theology Public speaking Persuasion Counseling Teaching Leadership Organisation Psychology

15+ hours a week of study, training and practice for the first 2 decades of my life.

20,000 hours

So I had a mission, training and massive expectations put on me.

But I hadn’t yet begun to write my own story.

To add MY part to what I had been given.

I was living a narrative written by other people to serve their interests. I was a slave to their story about me.

The power of a living narrative should never be underestimated.

Great good & great evil have come from people & even whole nations living out what they believe to be their destiny.

Most live the narrative they have been given, as was I and consequently they to are slaves.

I was not happy living the story that I was nothing more than a domesticated animal who existed to serve others needs, that mine were not valid or important.

I have the heart of a wolf not a sheep. A sovereign not a slave.

So I lived two lives. The servant and the outlaw.

It was all very exhausting.

Living two lives creates cognitive dissonance which is very painful and will eventually make you physically ill.

Soon after getting married in my early 20’s I entered into a 7 year long very painful illness that nearly killed me.

Being sick gave me time to think.

Nearly dying gave me perspective.

Pain gave me determination.

The wolf ate the sheep.

No longer would I live a story written by other people. It was time to rewrite my life and change my direction forever.

I became the author.

While my brain was still addled by sickness and my future was uncertain I took control.

First I need to inventory my mind.

What was I thinking and feeling?

What about my narrative was good, true, beautiful and serving my needs? I didn’t want to throw out the useful parts.

Once I understood my unwritten mental programming I could change it.

I was already well equipped to battle mind control from my education, but I needed more tools.

Studying how to deprogram cult members helped me unwind the mental viruses that had infected my mind & heart.

As I rewrote my story my body healed itself.

The two were intimately connected.

Im allergic to lies, deception and manipulation.

They had built up in my mental programming like toxins, poisoning me.

But now I had a cure.

And as I went I took notes, the best way to learn.

My life changed completely as I took control of my story.

�Health improved �Marriage improved �Became a better father �Made more money �Less stress and anxiety �Better friendships �Had more fun and joy

I became a man I could be proud of.

People noticed the change in me. Most complemented me for it.

But my changes threatened some who benefited from my service to them. Becoming a sovereign man blew up my relationships with both my parents and church.

My wife and son however were grateful to see me fulfilled.

Remember the notes I was taking.

They proved useful. I started helping other people who needed to rewrite their stories, reprogram their minds and escape self imposed slavery.

It didn’t take long and I was over whelmed with people seeking and getting the help they needed.

To help more people I started using my knowlege and training to coach others facing similar issues to my own.

I found my mission.

Now I teach Agency which is the road to maturity, personal sovereignty and a life worth living.

(There is more to my mission I cant revel yet.)

I can’t write your story for you, but I will teach you how to rewrite your own narrative, and how to keep developing it as you age and mature.

Become the author of your own story.
