By Paul McMahon

All of us already are (and always have been) perfectly beautiful, happy and content … it’s just that we’re not aware of it.

Most of us are familiar with the story about when Michelangelo was commissioned to create the sculpture of David – he looked at hundreds of blocks of marble before he decided on the “right” one.
To most of us all those blocks shown to him would have probably looked more or less the same, but for Michelangelo it needed to be a certain piece of marble – nothing else would do.

Why was that?
It was because he knew exactly what he wanted his David to look like. He could see the end result in front of his eyes.

When asked how he was going to create such a fine figure of David out of such an enormous chunk of marble his answer was: “That’s easy. All I have to do is chip away everything that is not David.”

During the course of our lives we have accumulated many memories, impressions, false beliefs and misunderstandings. All of these cover and hide the pure, powerful, peaceful and loving essence that is “the perfect you”, just as you were created.

And just like Michelangelo, we don’t need to add to what we already are … we just need to chip away what is not our true self – so that we are left with our true essence or, if you prefer, “our essential self”.

We need only become aware of everything we have accumulated that is false … and drop it.

Paul’s Mini Bio:

Having trained with Martha Beck (of Oprah fame), Life Coaching and Personal Development isn’t just academic to Paul; it’s something he lives and breathes!

In 2004 he was almost killed in a terrorist attack – in the blink of an eye, his whole life changed and he came as close as anyone can, to losing everything, experiencing first-hand what it is to be “lost in a storm” with no clear direction or assured destination. Working with groups and individuals, Paul shares the lessons he has learnt, along with powerful techniques to help people not just get an “old life” back, but to get a bigger, better, brighter, healthier and happier new one!
