When I changed the meaning of my past, I changed my future.

When I changed the meaning of my past, I changed my future.

This is an old photo of my dad.

I want to tell you that we have had a perfect relationship and were close, but that would be a lie. 

Growing up, I felt disconnected and hated my dad for many things. I honestly thought he never hugged, listened to, made me feel safe and was generally ashamed of me. This story led me on a path of self-destruction and sabotage. This was the story I played on repeat creating the feeling of worthlessness, resulting in looking for evidence out in the world proving I was right. 

Our bodies don't know the difference between a thought we are having and an experience we live. As a result, these thoughts created a feeling of disconnection and self-hate.

The beauty about all of this, I can change my thoughts and think on purpose. I get to give the past a new meaning that serves my life for the good. 

Instead, I feel the most unbelievable joy and love for a selfless man today. 

My dad did his best with a feisty, heartbroken, and rebellious young daughter. 

My dad didn't understand what was happening inside me, nor did I know what was happening inside him.

#lifecoaching and #hindsight have offered me #perspective,  #understanding,  #comparsion, #forgiveness,  #selflove,  #gratitude, #mindset and #unconditionallove. It has been a long road of #selfdiscovery that I find the #innerpeace to realise that I was the perfect child and had the ideal father to bring me to this exact place in my life.

Today, I hold close to every precious moment I have with the man I idolise. With his blood flowing through my veins, my dad, Ray, made me who I am today. That feisty young girl is now a fearless woman who has the strength, courage, business sense, determination, and love and compassion to facilitate change and support in many people's lives. 

Because of all those tough times, I am the women who can raise children that I did not give birth to, as did he, build my businesses, and share my opinion with a powerful voice as did he. I am my dad's daughter, and no one else was up for the job better than he.

 I am so proud of my dad as I am proud of myself. 

If you are holding internal pain or anger and want to free yourself from your past, I know the ideal feisty, compassionate Mindset Life coach with the skills to help. 

Her name is Ray Mahony's daughter.
