It's time to stop waiting for things to happen, and become the happening thing

So this time two years ago I was boarding the overnight ferry from Rotterdam to Hull. What I have learned in the last two years is how quickly you can go from somebody to nobody real quick. 

Well it's time to stop waiting for things to happen and become the happening thing. 

This country has nothing for me. Within four or five days of arriving in the U.K LinkedIn had me as a perfect match to deliver training to Border Force officers, only to fall at the last hurdle because I had not been a resident in the UK for the last 5 years. FFS I WAS BORN HERE. 

We move on and LinkedIn again have me as a perfect match in the as a Security, Violence Prevention and Reduction Manager, at Manchester University within the Oxford Road Campus for the NHS. Guess what!

Not being a resident in the UK for the last 5 years makes me unqualified for the role. 

So maybe for now I should lower my sights a little and find something that doesn't require me having 5 years residency. 

Three part time jobs later and enough is enough. With the upmost respect to Admiral Casino, Coral Bookmakers & Group 4 Security I have much more to offer you than you were prepared to offer me.

I did look at maybe setting up private lessons in personal protection however, the public liability insurance premiums is this county is just plain crazy. (If there's a blame there a claim culture) So I wrote a book about it instead. 

I think two years is a good period of time to find your feet and establish a role in the community. It just hasn't happened for me and things don't look like it's worth waiting around. 

So taking some good out advice from arguably the best motivational speaker who ever lived, I am going to take my chances and my skills back into the ex pat world once again.

Turning 65 isn’t entirely pleasant, and I am not complaining about growing old because it is a privilege I have seen denied to many. I still have a passion for sharing 'The Power of One. Coaching & Teaching others. Passing on good knowledge is what life is really all about. And I intend to do it in a country where people appreciate learning. I recently became qualified to teach Boxercise. Now that's going to be a challenge in a country that is steeped in the tradition of it's very own Muay Thai, but then again my life has been defined by people telling me things are impossible, then me doing them anyhow. 

There is much to learn from that in knowing & understanding that your mindset is a more powerful force in shaping your life than your biology. Coincidences are nothing more than your reticular activating system identifying what’s important to you and then giving your conscious mind more opportunities to notice them out in the world. You’re more in control here than you think.

Whoa! I almost went off on one then. Anyway if your reading this I am glad your here and you may want to check out my Facebook page called Peak Performance Coaching you will find lots of great stuff with much more coming! 

O.K. That's a wrap. Got to go pack my T-shirt & toothbrush.

Strange Times, or just the New Normal?

Every day we hope to hear the news that we can get out of this lockdown and get our lives back to normal, back to the ones we love and have missed, back to our friends, back to the gym, back to our jobs, back to just doing the simple things in life like just getting your haircut.
The problem is hope, followed by hope to hear. These days it would be very difficult to find any statement by any politician or public figure that is not using Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

The ability to influence behavior is central to many of the Government's key policy challenges in areas such as Lockdown, Contact Tracing, and the New Normal. The Coronavirus downing street daily briefing is riddled with NLP. (as a certified NLP master practitioner) I hear exactly what they are doing.

The whole use of the Noun Covid and the ensuing presuppose that it exists and the same with the presupposed symptoms, as long as we all debate them then the psychological effects take place ...it's not about true or false it's about the response behavior.

The first rule of hypnosis is Repetition Repetition Repetition, then create a yes set, you understand (yes) this is important (yes) the third yes is pretty much a given (yes!)

NLP/Hypnosis will not go away. The public needs to be aware of the language with which they have been indoctrinated and who is exerting this pernicious control.

To be fair the government doesn't really make a secret of it, there is a very inserting document online and available to everyone from the cabinet office called Influencing behavior through public policy. It's 96 pages long and goes into great detail of how it all works. This is what we are being subjected on almost a daily basis.

The issue for me is more about what we are not being told, is the lockdown a political or scientific decision? and why are they fudging the numbers & statistics of people who have supposedly died COVID-19?.

Why are the scientists, doctors & even medical professors being silenced for speaking out, World-renowned and respected people like Doctor Kaufman, Professor Ioannidis, Dr. Wittowski, Doctor Rashid Buttar, and Dr.Judy Mikovits have all had their videos removed because they have dared to challenge what the World Health Organization is trying to enforce. I always thought no matter how thin you slice it there will always be two sides ... Apparently not anymore.

The U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo just said “enormous evidence” shows the novel coronavirus outbreak began in a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and that Beijing has refused to give international scientists access to learn what happened. I wonder if Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter will now ban him for saying things contrary to the WHO official line?

Why are people who have not been tested for COVID-19 having it put on their death certificate as the course of death and even more importantly why are doctors and hospital administrators being instructed to do so? Here is another question, who is actually benefiting from this procedure?

There are certainly more questions than answers.

Back in 1994, I was very fortunate to attend a Tony Robbins seminar at the N.E.C in Birmingham. One of the best techniques I learned was about asking questions to get more informed answers.

This has served me well over the years and I may even be guilty of overusing it recently. The technique is really simple and probes for more information than the person or people being questioned want to give. So long story short I have been asking questions and I can tell you things are becoming more and more obvious each day. They say the fruit never falls far from the tree. All these new laws that now being brought into force to take down information from social media like Facebook and youtube because the opinions are not in line with the 'World Health Organization' advice.

THE TRUTH DOES NOT NEED LAWS TO PROTECT IT, BUT LIES DO.

Remember when I said that the ability to influence behavior is central to many of the Government's key challenges in areas such as Lockdown, Contact Tracing, and the New Normal. Here is the next word ... Vaccine. and that is what this is all about.

I truly get that our planet has issues and we can not continue going in the direction like we have, things like global warming, overpopulation, hunger, third world poverty, endless protests, gender issues, and that's just for starters.

Remember the film the Matrix from 1999

Is COVID-19 just propaganda masquerading in science, Could the so-called virus-like the matrix actually be us and that is why Bill Gates wants to so desperately vaccinate every single person on the planet?
Are the numbers of people that have died from COVID-19 being manipulated as so a reason to justify mass vaccinations in the same way weapons of mass destruction was used to justify the Gulf Wars? (none were ever found by the way)

Or is the answer simpler than that? Is it just simply about MONEY? We now know the Gulf War was about Oil and the people driving it got very rich. Many of the people driving this pandemic have vested interests in pharmaceutical companies and I can certainly see the motivation for driving the fear.

When people are frightened they are much easier to control. I have heard figures relating to figures above £30 billion (YES BILLION) just to vaccinate the United Kingdom alone, If you get a chance have a read of the new HC Bill 122 Coronavirus Act 2020 that was recently passed in parliament just in case you are going to try and kid yourself that you won't be having the vaccine.

They will start with the children first, no certificate of vaccination no school, cant have your kid who is not vaccinated as a risk to those children who have.

Next will be you in relation to your employment, without a certificate of vaccination your employer won't be able to get health insurance for you. No certificate of vaccination, no job. Next comes world travel, the country you are wanting to enter won't let you in without a certificate of vaccination, they certainly won't be taking any risks on you.

So in conclusion refusing the vaccine means no school, no job, no holiday abroad. This time next year you will not only want the vaccine you will be begging on your knees to be vaccinated and then this will be the new normal.

Alright, alright I will take the goddam vaccine no problem all this fuss what the hells wrong with having a vaccine anyway?

WHOA! Now, that's a completely different rabbit hole ... I do appreciate we are living in strange times just now, but you seriously need to protect yourself from the brainwashing doing the daily rounds in the mainstream media that led to healthy people being afraid of healthy people. The next step must be to raise questions over who is driving the British Government response to COVID–19. Those who have influenced the lockdown policy have a very clear conflict of interest if you follow the money.

My conclusion is COVID-19 is a real disease that sickens some, proves fatal to others, mostly the elderly — and does nothing to the vast majority. That’s it. The hype is hoaxed for both political & financial gain from what will soon be enforced because of it.

That's my take on the current situation and I fully realize that you might not share my opinion and that's fine, all I am saying is don't sit in front of the mainstream media channel nodding your head because I am 100% certain the danger is not what's in front of you. It's what you're being distracted from. If you take on board just one thing from reading this let it please be that you do your own research. In this age of information, ignorance is a choice ... it's just not a very good one.

Remember I said about asking questions, well start by asking yourself what you think is actually happening and do some research on your answers, then based on what you have learned then ask yourself what is really happening because this release from lockdown is not going to be happening anytime soon and you are going to have plenty of time to discover the truth.
