The author’s mission
You might find this a bit strange, but on a number of occasions in my life,
strangers have approached me to deliver messages similar to the one I’m
bringing you in this book. When I was 21, I was approached in a bookshop.
A middle-aged woman came up to me and said, ‘You are blessed. You are
close to God. You need to share your message with the world. You are going
to help a lot of people.’
Another time, I was waiting for the train home after work. As I walked
towards the end of the platform, all the people who were already standing
there started to move away. This never normally happened (I actually sniffed
myself to ensure there wasn’t an unpleasant odour coming from me! I
smelled fine.) Moments after, an old woman with a scarf on her head
approached me out of the blue and asked me what I did for a living. As I
answered the question, she interrupted me with the words, ‘You’re special.’
Confused and concerned, I attempted to step away from her, but then she
said, ‘You have a lot of blessings from your past life, but you should also
know what you’ve done wrong.’
I was slightly intrigued by this comment, so I carried on listening to this
woman. She began to tell me what and who I apparently was in my past life.
She claimed I was part of a special team in the military. She said I was one of
the most valued soldiers and my country had benefited hugely from my
successes, even though I’d hurt many people, too. She explained the
implications of my behaviours in my supposed previous life.

Although it sounded bizarre, the story was extremely creative and
captivating. She told me what I needed to do in this life to complete my
mission. One thing she made very clear was not to let anger get the better of
me, because it would lead me to failure, and she encouraged me to
communicate positively to others because I could heal them.
At the time, I remember trying not to laugh because I found this all so weird.
I was unconvinced and she caught a glimpse of this. Finally, she said, ‘Well,
you don’t have to believe me, but any good advice is gold.’ As those words
came out of her mouth, the train approached the platform after an unexpected
delay. I told her I had to go and walked towards the doors. She said goodbye
– and then she said my name, even though I hadn’t shared it with her. Once
I’d got on the train I looked out of the window, but there was no sign of her.
Every time things like this occurred, I put it down to nothing more than
strange coincidence. However, there have been countless occasions where
things like this have happened that I haven’t thought much of at the time –
but things have now started to make sense. My pain has helped me to
discover my passion, which has led me to identify my purpose. Deep down,
what brings me the most joy is when I help people improve their lives. I love
seeing people win.
Towards the end of 2015, I started an Instagram page to share my personal
quotes and thoughts on life, love and purpose. My aim was spread positivity
online. I recognized that this platform was free for the public and I could add
value to a large number of people’s lives without having to charge them
money.
Within a few months I gained an increasing following as more and more
people were drawn to my words. As my popularity grew, I was approached
for advice by hundreds of people on a monthly basis because they admired
my outlook on life. Here was an opportunity to coach people and guide them
towards positive change.
Today I call myself a mind coach – someone who helps people to exercise a
new way of thinking and to bring about a new and positive way of living. If
