On top of the world
Six months ago, I introduced myself on Skool as an Integrity Army Soldier reporting for duty. Today I became a Major, and was reminded of how far I’ve come since I first heard Dan explaining powerful honesty.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with my journey, I shared my radical transformation here in a series of blog posts. Long story short, when I met Dan I had suffered with Bipolar Disorder Type II for 30 years. Two months later, after an intensive, self-prescribed Brojo Bootcamp, I walked away fully recovered from an ‘incurable’ mental illness. If you’re curious about the long story long, my book The Integrity Cure will be published later this year.
Today I’m checking in to say thanks to Dan and this community for the ongoing support, and to share a few highlights from the top of world. I’m literally on the top floor of an apartment building overlooking the Bosphorus and the architectural wonders of Istanbul, listening to the incredible sound of the call to prayer from the 30 minarets I can count and more.
Since I started out as a Soldier, I have changed from someone who hesitated to leave the house to someone who is travelling the world with confidence.
I have walked away from poor fit connections, and replaced a strategy of avoidance with an open heart and an eagerness to meet new people.
I have returned to my vocation in publishing, after working in a space that paid good money at the expense of my soul.
None of this was easy. Getting here involved a serious investment of time, effort, courage, and tears. I read Dan’s books, listened to podcasts, and had one-on-one coaching. I completed Brojo courses, participated in Brotherhood sessions, and connected with fellow recruits. My Word doc of Brojo notes is 23,000 words and counting, as I continue to learn. The most important thing I did was put the learning into practice, every step of the way.
As I live by my values every day, I am discovering that there is a lot less room for fear when you’re laser focused on honesty, integrity, and self-respect because the quality of your life depends on it. Life is good, and wildly different. Onward.
