A GLT with me CG - Series 3 Ep 2: "Legacy: Life Reflections" Stuart Cox: Accept What You Cannot Change

In a special "Legacy: Life Reflections" Episode of The Good Listening To Podcast, Stuart Cox - Actor, Shakespeare Director & Journeyman reflects on his "journey to now" in a conversation he would call - in summary: "Rubbing Shoulders"

Stuart returns to the GLT Clearing to talk, amongst other things, about "accepting" his chronic heart condition. 

"Legacy: Life Reflections" is a special 'series strand' of the Good Listening To Podcast - inspired by Shakespeare's "All the World's a Stage..." where I go into a bit of extra depth on "Legacy" and "How you would most like to be remembered?" And "What are your life-lessons-learned-along-the-way" that you'd like to share with us?

In this Episode Stuart Cox talks profoundly about his current state of being "at peace with NOW" - here in his Clearing - as he describes how he has accepted and completely come to terms with a chronic and worsening heart condition, with the opportunity of the Podcast itself (in being given a "good listening to") as catharsis.

A lovely, rich in-depth conversation, anchored around his great love of Cuba. And at its heart - the comic and almost impossible staging of a Production of Pericles! 

Leading Stuart through his story - as if "Life imitating Art" to one of his most important life-lessons:

"Accept what you cannot change..."

So thanks for listening to another Episode of a "GLT with me CG!"

The Podcast series that features "The Clearing":  Where all good Questions come to be asked and all good Stories come to be told!

With some lovely juicy storytelling metaphors to also enjoy along the way:

The Clearing itself - A Tree (where we get to "shake your tree to see which storytelling apples fall out, in the form of a lovely storytelling exercise called "5-4-3-2-1") - some Alchemy - some Gold - and finally a Cake with a Cherry on Top!

Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearing! 

Also think about William Shakespeare - and about Jaques in "As You Like It" in particular:

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages..."

Jaques: Act II Scene VII

And as my Guest in the Podcast:  Now is your 'moment in the sunshine' to share your story!

Who are you? What's your story? And what 'life-lessons-learned-along-the-way' would you like to share with us? And just to get bit "existential on yo ass" too (!) what would you like your legacy to be?  How would you most like to be remembered?

And all my guests have at least 2 things in common: They are all Creative individuals  - and all with an interesting story to be told!
