A Message Of Faith – Kevin Searcey

In this incredibly personal episode Paul talks with someone who has undertaken a difficult journey, that lots of us will be able to empathise with. He has chosen to share his experience in order that we can understand not only the personal challenges but also how having a mentor alongside him was vital to the emotional healing process. This is a story with an incredible twist and a message for us all.

“Each and every-one of us has a vulnerability but most of us choose to put up a wall for self-protection the irony is that you’re not protecting yourself. My mentor kept saying I was going to come through it and there was part that believed in this, but a part didn’t,

He gave me the strength to keep going, one day at a time.” 

KEY TAKEWAYS

Faith can be defined as complete trust in someone and a mentor is someone who it is possible to have complete faith in. Having a mentor can make the difference between making it through; or not making it.

A mentor who has empathy and keeps believing in you can make a difference. It’s somebody who’s by your side saying you can do this, you need to embrace it. Everybody on this planet at some time needs help and support and its nothing to be ashamed of.
Learning to cry – lots of people grow up being expected to just get on with it but supressing feelings in this way doesn’t help. it’s important to be able to acknowledge and be honest about feelings so that its then possible to move forward
Understanding that the people around you do want to help. it’s important not to isolate yourself. It’s vital to believe that people love you, and to learn that it is true. There is no quick fix, but you must learn to believe in yourself.

Believe in those people who are fighting for you because they do it for a reason; because they love you - something everyone needs.

There are defining moments in your life and you might experience a point at which you feel everything is falling apart. Acknowledging that everyone experiences negative situations is vital and looking back and recognising what has happened to you, is an important step in the process of letting go and moving forward.
 The journey forwards can seem very daunting and alongside a mentor it’s all about taking one step at a time. Every day is different and the more you do, the better it is; although each day can be a battle - it does get easier though.

BEST MOMENTS

“Constantly, on a daily basis (my mentor) would ring me up to see how I was.”

“Kept building me up all the time; didn’t necessarily agree but appreciated him keeping me going”

“Took my breathe away, with someone just saying - thanks Kev, that helped”

“If I didn’t have that support, I don’t think I’d be here now”

“Mentor had second sense as he rang to remind me how well I was doing and that I would come through the other side”

“Faith to me, is starting to believe”

“No quick-fix but just believe in yourself”

ABOUT THE HOST

Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
