Never Give Up - An Inspiring Interview With Christel Rohrs

In this episode, Paul welcomes life coach and councillor Christel Rohrs to the Mastering Life Podcast. Christel shares her own story of dogged tenacity, an unwavering faith in God and the search of belief and self-worth. Paul and Christel discuss why we should never give up in life and why happiness comes from what we believe in - a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Tune-in today to hear Christel’s truly inspirational story from breaking free from years of abuse and misplaced belief in God; her life-changing illness and the wonderful work she does helping others in Thailand.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Why should we never give up? Not giving up is the only option that many of us have in life. If we do give in to our natural tendencies to want to give up when things get too tough, life basically ends. To be determined, to never give up is the best way of making sure you can live every day to fullest.


After years of abuse from her ex-husband and low self-worth, Christel shocked herself into the realisation of her life. She made a decision emotionally and mentally to get herself out of her situation and to tell herself that’s she’s worth more. She changed her beliefs about herself with positive affirmations and finding the good in herself on a daily basis. Everything starts with what you believe about yourself.


Happiness all starts with our beliefs that lead into our thoughts. Our thoughts influence our words and our words influence our actions, which in turn influence our habits, our values and ultimately our results. What we believe is what we become; it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

BEST MOMENTS

“Every day not giving up is the determination to cling to your inner-strength and focus your mind on being grateful. Even though you may be in emotional, physical or circumstantial pain you must try to put your mind into the focus of gratitude. Ask yourself what are you happy for? What makes you smile?”

“You are never as bad as how you feel inside yourself”

“I have a continuous feeling of, there was something wrong with me, I was a misfit”

“Every day remind yourself of the little things and be grateful and every cell in your body will follow suit.”

“Your body is not who you are. Your identity is who you are.”

“Don’t just exist with a purpose in your life, live with prosperity.”

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.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Christel Rohrs is a 50 year-old female, living in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.  She has had many experiences, challenges and adventures in her short life and only truly started living when she started to embrace self-love - learning to accept herself and knowing who that is.  

She has been a legal secretary, a Personnel Consultant, a Client Services Manager, a Stewardess on a boat, a Missionary and also, a wife.  She recently returned from Thailand after living there for 3 and a half years, while counselling girls rescued from child sex trafficking and helping them start a new life.  

Her health challenges and circumstances led Christel to come back to her home town and now through these challenges, she has grown more as an individual, as a sister, a daughter, an aunt and a friend.  She is experiencing the joy of learning to love myself enough to push through the tough times and when to love myself enough to stop.  She is incredibly grateful for her gift of life.
