Bringing the world of transformation to the word ‘FUN’, from these 55 “Medicine Wheel” cards lent to me by my lovely neighbor Cassandra, I know that my “experience of fun” has EXPANDED since I started my personal development courses back in October 1993.

It was the Landmark Forum in Sydney Australia, where I discovered that I operated “being the class clown” to hide the fact I really thought no one loved me and that I had to please everyone in order for them to like me ,(read class clown story here). A hidden deep sadness, that was completely distinguished for me, over the 3 days and one night (see syllabus here)  had me see that being a “class clown” was often NOT FUN!

Thankfully and over 10 years more of personal development courses, I find myself in a very different place where fun is a genuine part of my life; having learnt that generating (read generating blog here) fun is always available to me.

WHERE DOES ONE FIND FUN?

A great question and perhaps, for many people, it lies in one’s past?

If the question was asked to you;

• where do you reflect on a time in your life where fun was evident?
• How old were you?
• were you with someone?
• did it entertain you for a short or long time?
• did you smile non-stop?

But what if one’s life has really been hard, difficult and indeed; with maybe a sad and unfortunate childhood?

What access would someone, with these circumstances, have towards a world where fun is possible? 

Another great question, as I assert that every human has an access to fun, if one is willing to “GENERATE FUN” versus being limited by one’s past.

“Easier said than done!” I hear you cry!

Well for myself, I have learned several ways for me to ACCESS FUN:

1. What can I give up, to have “fun” be present right now?

2. Am I attached to an outcome, where fun must happen?

3. Are there new ways to review right now, where fun may accidentally show up?

4. If I can’t see the humour in it, will there be any chance of fun?

Surprising and grateful am I, after participating in my 2018 Wisdom Unlimited program where I had a breakthrough in happiness, (see that video on Instagram) ! It was totally unexpected, as I had already “caused a life which I love and living it powerfully” after completing my Self Expression  and Leadership Program back in 1994.

This is my legacy Ceasefire Project ( see video here) created out of that program.

As with my online fun, a big thank you to the Six Figure Mentors team for recently adding the ADSKILL platform to my US$97 subscription for powerful online training courses, (see package here)..…gotta love the title of the Adskill package is called “Bullet Proof” and maybe that will be the same today as Corona Proof?

Peace and Health to you and your families,

WHAT IS FUN FOR YOU IN 2020?

LEADERSHIP: Social Influence   6 of 55

Bringing the world of transformation (read transformation blog here)  to the word ‘leadership’, from these 55 “Medicine Wheel” cards lent to me by my lovely neighbour Cassandra, I know that the only thing stoping anyone from being a leader is themselves. After starting my personal development back in October 1993, I learned and agree that 2 of the common results of the Landmark Forum is getting a breakthrough in “confidence” and a breakthrough is “discovering what is important to you.” Run by Landmark Worldwide, and for the next 10 years, I participated in many of their leadership programs:

• Self Expression and Leadership Program
• Introduction Leaders Program
• Team Management and Leadership Program

It was the latter course that truly opened up a whole new world of leadership for me, as the “one year course” was an inquiry into leadership where we took on ‘leading from behind’ or ‘leading’ when you weren’t there.

At the time, and having already accomplished 3 fire breathing shows for Channel 10 News, Australia on the 15th September 1995,1996 and 1997; I trained participants in the course to learn fire breathing and invited them to stand for World Peace and take the skill back home and perform a show for the news media. I trained them to train others. As a consequence, I accomplished fire shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Auckland as a result; and I wasn’t there for any of them,(see video Ceasefire Project).

Leadership by Children

Last year, 3 children demonstrated leadership in my life.

One girl, (11) was hopping along with me and, knowing my stand for World Peace, suggested we play: “Sweet and Sour!”

“What’s that?” I asked.

“Well you wave at cars driving by and if they wave back, they are sweet and if they don’t they are sour! “Much laughter as the game did confront poor drivers to react or ignore, depending on their mood.

Another child Reuben (10) asked me why I liked World Peace so much and after my reply; suggested we could play a tag game called World Peace by 2020, Pass It On! You’re It!

I invited him to play it on his school playground, and, after many queries about it, over a week or so,  he finally and sheepishly smiled and confessed he had ‘grown out of’  tag games! ( I later invited some 8 year olds to play it and they said YES!)

Lastly Lucy (12) turned up to the World Peace ceremony at the main beach of Byron Bay, Australia on Sunday 15 September 2019 with 10 of her girlfriends celebrating her birthday. After we sung happy birthday and cheered her 3 times she shouted “World Peace Take Off” and so the World Peace Take Off Parties for this year 2020 were born!

Perhaps it is the listening I provided for each of these children and I declare it was after I heard this prose; that I truly got inspired about the difference I can make to our future generations.

Notes On An Unhurried Journey

When we adults think of children, there is a simple truth which we ignore; childhood is not preparation for life; childhood is life. A child isn’t getting ready to live; a child is living. The child is constantly confronted with the nagging question: “What are you going to be?” Courageous would be the youngster who, looking the adult squarely in the face, would say, “I’m not going to be anything; I already am.”

We adults would be shocked by such an insolent remark, for we have forgotten, if indeed we ever knew, that a child is an active participating and contributing member of society from the time he is born. Childhood isn’t a time when he is moulded into a human who will then live life; he is a human who is living life. No child will miss the zest and joy of living unless these are denied him by adults who have convinced themselves that childhood is a period of preparation.

How much heartache we would save ourselves if we would recognize the child as a partner with adults in the process of living, rather than always viewing him as an apprentice. How much we would teach each other… adults with the experience and children with the freshness. How full both our lives could be. 

A little child may not lead us, but at least we ought to discuss the trip with him; for, after all, life is his and her journey too.

  – Professor T. Ripaldi

I have learned that the key to leadership is to demonstrate enrolment in “who you are” and “your commitments” at the time. Bold Leadership is available for anyone! Pass It On!

Peace and Health to you and your families,

WHERE DO YOU LEAD IN 2020?

 

Bringing the world of transformation (read transformation blog here) to the word ‘enthusiasm’, from these 55 “Medicine Wheel” cards lent to me by my lovely neighbour Cassandra, I know that my understandable enthusiasm for life;(after being stabbed in Amsterdam when I was eighteen ) , was ENHANCED after I started my personal development with the Landmark Forum in October 1993,(read enthused results here!)

Summer 1981: Amsterdam’s Vodel Park 2 am:

( “English back packer got stabbed in the Vodel Park last night…..”)

“I am too young to die!” I cried over and over again (to my friend who stayed with me); whilst my other 3 friends scattered into the night getting help!

I remember sirens, voices and the first policeman who arrived and said to my caring friend:

“Sorry we’re late, there’s been a shooting up the road” and after he lifted a T shirt covering my ribs to see the stab wound, he said:

“Aaah, he’ll survive!”

With only a punctured lung (“laboured and scary breathing” it was…..), they wheeled me into the ambulance.

Ever since THAT MOMENT, I became!

No surprise I treated life so differently, with my enthusiasm; (driven and now “generated”) ,for “LIFE”, being so profound for me.

“WIDE AWAKE” you could say, and what I have learned; is to learn HOW YOU LISTEN to life? Once these filters are distinguished, whoa: CHOOSE! (read choice blog here)

Ever since 15 September 1995, (Ceasefire Project) I learned my enthusiasm for life was EXPLODED on the 15 September 2000, about what’s possble.

Fire breathing for 5 years had lead me to a  “LIVE” feed with a National News Crew at 7am.

I was interviewed by “year of the dragon” news presenter Mike Hosking TVNZ.

“ON and TO” camera; I declared to the New Zealand audience :  “World Peace is gonna happen!”

Today is 1 MAY 2020 and my enthusiasm in writing this blog has been hilarious with this enthusiastic recall!

 I dedicate this blog to back packing boarding school friends:

• Tommy Ross
• Shahib Mian
• Martin Bastow
• Simon Cook

who were all there back in 1981 and witnessed the becoming of Charlie! aka Charles! Thank you guys! Really!

Peace and Health to you and your families,

Charles

WHAT ARE YOUR VALUES IN 2020?

 

Bringing the world of transformation (read transformation blog here)  to the word ‘forgiveness’, from these 55 “Medicine Wheel” cards lent to me by my lovely neighbour Cassandra, I know that in all the inquiries; through all my personal development courses run by Landmark Worldwide, (LW), forgiveness was always left as a choice.

The ‘gold’ that I learned; whilst assisting in the LW Young Persons Forum (8-12 year olds), was when the young people were asked who was responsible for them having a great life?

• Mum?
• Dad?
• You?

I recall the inquiry between the children was wonderfully refreshing, loving and eventually PROFOUND. They put their hands up and shared that Dad was, because he ….or that Mum was, because she……and I remember being inspired and moved, listening to what some parents did to have their child have a great life. Fascinating as, after a while, and many shares were exhausted and the question was repeated again , the children finally got that they were 100 % responsible for all their relationships in their life (read responsibility blog here) and that Mum or Dad had nothing to do with it! It was put forward, not as the truth, but as a place for the child to deeply consider. They could cause a great Mum or Dad because they declare it!

From there, now as an adult, the forgiveness lies with me and , given I am 100 responsible for all my relationships, I look to what did I do, to let an occurrence occur, where “I need to forgive” and “who was I being” to have this occurrence happen in the first place? More importantly, I look at the COSTS of holding onto a position where I feel forgiveness is needed. Joy, happiness, vitality are just a few of the costs when I am being positional so today, I see the only forgiveness I need, is for myself for allowing the upsetting occurrence to happen in my life. Aaah, peace is with me and I wish you all the same.

Fascinatingly, when I completed my Landmark Forum in October 1993, and remembering myself being stabbed (aged 18…read story here), I never saw the need to “FORGIVE” the man who stabbed me. In fact, I so recall thinking I wanted to thank him, (once revealed in the course), as it had me become “Brave” where I treat life as sacred and perhaps urgent! Thanking him is a bit bizarre maybe and I take full responsibility, noting  that I was a naive “bullet proof” teenager  who learned the hard way!

I have now seen for myself that provided I keep good company and remaion vigilant for the flavour of all my relations as being peaceful and loving, the need to forgive does not arrive for me. No ‘pointing the finger’ or blaming someone for their actions has me be 100 % responsible for all my relationships, where love, peace and harmony provides a great foundation for having a great life! PASS IT ON!
