It is a great privilege to discuss with my mentee Alexi the lessons he has learnt over the last 20 years with me. Firstly we all need therapy because it gives us self awareness. The purest our minds will ever be is the moment we are borne and after therapy. We are sensitive recording instruments of everything we experience from the first breath we take and how we express that going forwards is largely determined by the chassis we layer these experiences onto -- our personality. Self awareness usually lies deep within the strata of psychological blocks and damage that we pick up from the moment we are born. The journey to self awareness depends on many things including internal motivation , external events and personality. No man is an island and such is the emotional unpredictable nature of humans that we need to be constantly guided with structure and rules and values. Alexi surmises what he has learnt and what is really important in life. Suffice to say it as family and close community and not chasing your career.
