🎈Letting Go: A Lesson From Childhood 🎈 As a

🎈Letting Go: A Lesson From Childhood 🎈

As a child in care, I learned early on that people come and go. It’s a lesson that carves itself deep into your heart, leaving you to grapple with the idea of impermanence. Caregivers, friends, even the walls around me—they were all temporary. The only constant was change, and with it, a loneliness that sat heavy in my chest.

I remember the feeling of attachment, how desperately I clung to the hope that maybe this time, someone would stay. But the revolving door of people in my life taught me that attachments are fleeting. They leave, and when they do, they take a piece of you with them, leaving behind echoes of love that was never fully mine to keep.

Now, as an adult, I’ve come to realize that letting go is a skill I was forced to master far too early. It’s the art of releasing love, not because it wasn’t real, but because it’s the only way to protect the fragile parts of myself. It’s about understanding that no one can fill the void inside us. Only we can do that.

Banksy’s “Girl with a Balloon” captures this beautifully. The image of a young girl letting go of a heart-shaped balloon resonates with the child in me—the child who had to learn that love, like that balloon, can slip from your grasp if you hold on too tight. It symbolizes the hardest lesson of all: learning to let go of the love you long for and instead turning that love inward, towards yourself.

For those of us who grew up in care, loving ourselves is the toughest lesson. We were taught to seek love in others, to cling to those who showed us kindness, even if only for a moment. But now, standing at the crossroads of my past and future, I understand that I need to love myself in the way I hoped others would.

Letting go is not about giving up on love; it’s about recognizing that the love we seek has to come from within. Only then can we truly be free.

Loving what you do and seeing your projects thrive

Loving what you do and seeing your projects thrive is a rewarding experience, but with that success comes a relentless pace that can leave you feeling completely burnt out. As a man, it’s hard to admit when you’re tired, let alone ask for a break. You’re used to putting on a brave face, pushing through the exhaustion, because you don’t want to let anyone down. But in the process, you’re starting to realize that you can’t control how others behave or react, and that’s a tough truth to swallow.

Recently, I’ve found myself reflecting on life more deeply. I’ve seen people I know pass away, and it’s brought me to a crossroads. Life is short—too short to spend it only chasing success while missing out on the experiences that make it truly rich and fulfilling. I want to be successful, but I also want to live fully, to experience everything life has to offer.

In the midst of all this, I’ve started to notice how few people really take the time to check in, even as you’re busy supporting everyone else. It’s made me question the balance in my life and the importance of finding true happiness, not just in my work, but in every aspect of this short life.

Maybe it’s time to seek that balance—to allow myself to rest, to live, and to enjoy the moments that matter most. Success is important, but so is mine & your well-being and happiness. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and we all deserve the same care and attention we give to others. As we navigate this journey of life , your hope is to find a way to be both successful and truly happy, embracing all that life has to offer while taking care of ourselves along the way.
.
Finding balance is hard when you are driven and when no one has ever just handed it to you on a plate… time to work smarter not harder is really resonating … loving yourself also means taking care of yourself, setting healthier boundaries and undertaking new self care practices … does this resonate with you ? ❤️🙏

I don’t do this much anymore but ….

We are all fighting battles none of us know about or necessarily see.

I wrote this original song on Saturday night … I’ve left the mistake in because for me it makes it more human and heartfelt.

Kindness shouldn’t be a strategy or just a slogan hung up on the wall it should be a way of life for ALL of us.

It starts with us. You. Me.

I’ve come across a lot of cold hearted people in my life at various points usually down to the trauma they have experienced. I’ve also been blessed to come across some really warm hearted and kind souls who have helped me along the way. Thank you.

Peoples behavior usually says a lot more about them than it does about you but always respond in kindness and curiosity maybe they need a listening ear or a hug. Even those you perceive as monsters. It’s all a front. A mask to hide pain.

What kind of world do you want to see for you and your children. We can create it. Together.

I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier.

Thank you 🙏 ❤️🤘🏼

So I stepped out of my comfort zone ………
.
A lovely morning at one of the homes of @amberleighcaretc speaking to small groups of young men & delivering my own @smashlifeuk workshop.
.
These lads answers (see images 2-10) to some of my questions at the end of the session brought a smile to my face.
.
Sometimes we don’t know if the seeds we try & plant now will resonate but all we can do is to keep trying.
.
The warmth and love I received today from the staff & young men at this home made me wish that maybe I had been rescued & put in one like I had visited today ….they are now set up to be places of trauma healing, education, empowerment for the future and remind young people they are not lost in this world but are loved and cared for … everyday by staff that go above and beyond .
