Brian O’Raleigh - ‘Hero’s Journey’


"On the Couch" with Brian O'Raleigh. In time past, I worked with Brian, a most gifted human being who has the ability to coach and motivate people from all walks of life.
"In recent surveys carried out across the USA over 87% of people said they were unhappy with their jobs. Of the remaining 13% only half stated that they were actually happy in their careers. Just glancing at these figures gives some idea why the use (and abuse) of antidepressants has multiplied by over 500% in the last ten years alone. "

"You say that you opted for an early retirement, but what were you thinking of retiring too ? The stereotypical concept of ‘gone fishing’ may work for some, but for those of us who have any sort of imagination, energy and intelligence, the self indulgent lifestyle must sooner or later lead to boredom and ultimately of course, depression. Carl Jung once said “Each and every human life contains a potential, if that potential is not fulfilled, then that life was wasted” I have facilitated seminars for years, helping people to discover their innate gifts and talents and I’ve found, almost without exception, that once a person commits to an activity that engages their hearts and minds, within weeks their depressions lift never to return again. "


"Find out what you are good at, for those innate gifts will always point you in the direction of your Calling. Forget about retirement ; for the thinking, creative, passionate human being ‘retirement’ can literally be a death sentence. Take a chance, be yourself, dream great dreams, let your Life Force out for a run, and follow your heart. Once you’ve commenced your own ‘Hero’s Journey’ you are bound to meet other like minded souls along the way. As Joseph Campbell once put it : “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are” Good Luck"
