Screaming in Silence

Marcus Aurelius's Meditations has been described by many as exactly this, a comprehensive guide to life. Today we look into the three disciplines within Stoicism and discover just how powerful they are, and how they have played a critical role in my life, and how they can in yours too. https://onewingkiwi.com/

As a young child I thought to myself, the day I stop learning will be the day I die. Now nearly 26yrs into my journey with chronic pain a recent discovery has made that statement even more relevant. I thought I had learnt a lot the past years, and I have, but this journey is just beginning. And I can't wait! https://onewingkiwi.com/

This week we have Josh joining us on the show. Although he has only been on his journey for two and a half years he has already learnt so much in living with adversity and enjoying a fulfilling life. His attitude is exactly the type required when navigating difficulty and will give hope to those whose journey with chronic pain is still very new. https://onewingkiwi.com/

This week's guest Bob, aka 1ARMBOB, was one of the first people I met who had the same injury as me. It was through Bob's Facebook group "Brachial Plexus' that we connected, and where I would meet many others, both being able to learn and help. Join us as we hear 1ARMBOB's journey through adversity. https://onewingkiwi.com/ https://onewingkiwi.com/

What shapes events in our lives? The events themselves? Or our perception of them? While life is not perfect and has hardship, struggle and loss, how we see these events determines the effect they will have on us.  Attempts to combat adversity through positive perception is sometimes pushed back on though, viewed as an attempt to diminish our plights, but I choose to see it as a way of lifting our...

Just how do you have full control over what happens in your life? With so much that seems out of our control that might seem impossible. But a change in perception is enough to give you all the power you need. This would be the most important realisation I ever had, one that would turn what most would view as a negative experience into the most positive. And it's something we all can do. http...

Pain can take many things from us, our freedom, independence, confidence, the list goes on. For me though, it's only time that has been taken. But it's the very act of that time being stolen that made led me to one of my greatest realisations. www.onewingkiwi.com https://onewingkiwi.com/

When I embarked on my journey 25yrs ago I didn't set out to do anything other than live the best life I could. I was 22yrs old with a life to live, and I was determined to do exactly that. I never once thought that the choices I made would prove to inspire people, but over the years I found that was exactly what happened. This week we look closely at how I came to better understand the power...

Am I mad to get back on motorcycles? Most people would say without a doubt! But getting back on bikes was one of the most important aspects of my journey, one that would lift me to new heights, and along the way lift others too. https://onewingkiwi.com/
