What are some of the lessons the world is sending us? What are we being asked to learn?.What are the beliefs that I previously bought into which are no longer serving me?.How do I need to adapt in order to survive these times and begin to thrive again?.What’s more, it has forced us to consider some of the ‘big’ questions: This past year has been one such event, and it has forced us, on a global scale, to re-evaluate and question the ‘certainties’ we had all to readily accepted. How often do we stop to wonder if this is actually what we want and, more importantly, if this is how we define success? The answer, at least in my case, is probably not at all until a life-changing event forces you to do so. We are constantly being sold a definition of success which is beyond question – it is, in fact, so ‘essential’ that it has become a certainty in our minds. So much of the subliminal messaging which floods us every day is shot through with the idea that we have to tick certain boxes so we can eventually match someone else’s definition of a ‘successful life’: getting married, having the huge house (without a mortgage, of course!), a big pension pot, perfect children educated at the best schools, exotics holidays. We are wired to need certaintyįrom an early age, we are pre-programmed to put an incredibly high value on the need for certainty in our lives. During the next few months, Simon Hodges will be exploring what it takes to move away from a place of fear, towards one where we can start to thrive again.
