"I chose this Quest to awaken my mind and with it my potential"
I approached this quest in slight desperation. I had reached 51, still yearning to be my full potential. It has been a feeling that I’ve had for many years - that I was going through the motions and that only I suspected and The Divine knew, that I have much more to offer. For 20 years I’ve been feeding myself with talk and belief that ‘I am not academically minded’, that I operated more on an intuitive level. It has crippled my learning. Nevertheless, last year I became interested in learning about pain management and applied for a course (MSc) - I got accepted! I had mixed feelings about being accepted. I was initially so chuffed, maybe even humbled that the institution would want me to study with them. Then, I again started to make light of what I felt I was capable of ‘they clearly have no one else applying, so they have no choice but to select me’, I then started to think that I may have to make the most of the opportunity. I chose to commence the course in September 2021, as I literally hadn’t considered the logistics of studying at the time of applying...in my mind I wasn’t getting in. And so, I chose this Quest to awaken my mind and with it my potential. I chose this Quest to align with my identity, my ‘who’, which is where I am focusing my transformation.
