WE ALL FACE SECRET CHALLENGES

We all have secret problems.

When I was a ‘successful’ lawyer, owning my own law firm, living in a flash apartment, driving a fancy car and running other businesses, behind the scenes I was depressed.

I had relationship problems, drank too much alcohol, suffered with chronic illnesses, had anxiety and anger issues and felt insecure (without really knowing it at the time).

I never felt as though anything I did was enough, was constantly trying to prove myself to the outside world and felt completely unfulfilled.

Maybe the biggest secret of all I’ve realised over the years, though, is that everyone else has got their own secret challenges as well.

I’ve coached people from all over the world, from former Olympic athletes and coaches to ex-professional footballers, millionaires, CEOs, entrepreneurs, lawyers and accountants, through every walk of life, and every single person had their own problems that they were secretly dealing with that the world couldn’t see.

And I bet it’s the same for you.

As you read this you can immediately think of all the problems you secretly face that most (if not all) of your work colleagues, and even friends and family, don’t know about. That you don’t talk about on social media.

The addictions or relationship challenges.

The anxiety or loneliness.

The pain or illness.

The problems with your kids.

The feeling that you’re not living the life you really want to live.

Even now, all these years later, despite completely transforming my life and understanding what’s behind the vast majority of the problems we face, I still deal with chronic pain every day that I’m working on recovering from.

But you can’t see that pain when I post online.

You can’t see the challenges I face in my day-to-day life that I don’t share with the world.

The difference for me now compared to when I was living my old life, is that it’s easier for me to deal with my problems because I understand what’s behind them and how to fix them in the long-term.

One of the things I love most about my relationships with the people I help is that I’m open and honest with them about the things I’ve faced and still have to face.

I’m not in an ivory tower preaching to everyone. I’m down in the dirt with you dealing with the same challenges you’re dealing with.

I’ve just been working on it for a long time so can show people the mistakes I’ve made and help them to avoid the same issues while they benefit from what I’ve learned. Which is fulfilling in itself and helps me to overcome one of the secret challenges I used to deal with.

We all have secret challenges and the great news is we can keep them secret while we work on overcoming them.

Crucially, though, the problems don’t overcome themselves.

You have to make the decision to do something about them.
