My Story
My creative journey began when I was twelve years old.
Looking through the lens of an old film camera with no cartridge,
I saw for the first time, my own unique view of the world
I began to write about and photograph the world, as a way to understand it.
A way to capture the deeper meaning hidden beneath.
I began documenting my experience of the world,
as a way to share what I believed to be true..
That the universe speaks, to those who listen
and that there is wisdom found in nature, beyond what language can teach.
At age eighteen I put my dreams aside to pursue a career in construction.
The path my parents approved. A path many can relate to.
I traded my dreams for security, my passion for a pay check.
Most of all I turned my back on myself, shutting out my inner voice. My intuition.
It took years of burnout and stress, the landing of my ‘dream job’
and the purchase of my first home (all the things I thought would make me happy)
to finally see the truth..
That the person I truly was and the life I felt I was supposed to be living,
was still out there in the world, waiting to be discovered.
After feeling for so long, that I was a victim of my own life.
I finally began to see, that my life was an exact reflection of the beliefs I held about myself and the world.
I finally began to understand the relationship between thoughts and things. Energy and matter.
I finally became conscious.
I woke up.
It was sobering feeling to realise that the person I had become
and the life I had created was nothing more than the accumulation
of what others wanted for me and of what others wanted me to be.
And in that same moment, I felt empowered.
Because I realised that the reality we live in, is completely up to us to decide.
Buried in fear and uncertainty,
I made a promise to myself that day, to be the creator of my own life.
To let who I thought that I was die, so the person I really am could be born.
In the years that followed, my entire world collapsed.
Because the values and beliefs my world was built upon, no longer supported it.
I changed careers, my relationship ended, my friendships shifted, I moved states and countries.
I journeyed to sixteen countries and immersed myself in foreign cultures,
where I was drawn to the practices of Eastern Philosophy
and the study of Universal Law, Energy and Consciousness.
I surrounded myself with positive mentors and as I healed my relationship with myself,
I finally felt worthy enough to start to invest in my own personal development.
Falling over at every step, but always keeping my promise to myself..
That I would be the creator and guiding force of my own life.
For the first time in my life, things started to make sense.
I became aware of the subconscious patterns that were controlling my life.
It no longer felt as though I was swimming upstream. Fighting against the tide.
Life finally started to flow.
As I became more aware of my unconscious beliefs
and startefd to release them from my body, i began to feel lighter.
My energy shifted and as a result I began attracting amazing people and opportunities into my life.
I started a business that allows me to support others
and most importantly I became the mentor that I always needed.
While I have infinite room for growth.
I now feel physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually balanced.
I feel aligned to the person I truly am and fulfilled by serving others from a place of passion.
A path I believe we are all have the opportunity to undertake.
I never stopped documenting my journey,
because even as a child I understood that beyond our differences, we are all ONE.
A collective consciousness.
Having overcome challenges of fear, self doubt, low self-esteem and unconscious self sabotage,
it is now my passion and purpose to support as many people as I can
to connect to their Higher Self and Life Purpose,
so that together, we can create meaningful change in the world.
Thanks for the long read.
I speak from my heart, because I believe that it attracts and polarises
the people who will truly resonate, into my life.
Peace,
Thomas
