Am 11. April 1983 machte sich Dave mit seiner Band auf den Weg, um in New York ihr Debütalbum aufzunehmen. Dave, ein hochbegabter Gitarrist, Sänger und Songwriter, war seit zwei Jahren als Leadgitarrist in der Band. Doch starker Alkoholkonsum und daraus resultierende Streitigkeiten hatten längst überhandgenommen, und so beschlossen die anderen drei Mitglieder, ihn aus der Band zu werfen. Sie packten seine Ausrüstung zusammen, fuhren ihn zum Port Authority Bus Terminal und setzten ihn in einen Greyhound-Bus nach Los Angeles.

Am Boden zerstört und kochend vor Wut, entfernte sich Dave immer weiter von seinem Traum, Kopf einer erfolgreichen Heavy Metal Band zu werden. In diesen dunklen Stunden schwor er Rache. Er würde eine Band zusammenstellen, die besser und größer werden würde als seine vorherige. Sie würde erfolgreichere Tourneen in ausverkauften Hallen organisieren und mehr Platten verkaufen, als sich seine früheren Bandkollegen jemals erträumen könnten.

Go Your Own Way – but not alone!

Twelve years ago, my life looked successful and positive from the outside. I had a good job as a senior supply chain director at Procter & Gamble, was paid a handsome salary, and lived in a high-end property overlooking the Singapore skyline. But something was missing. I felt unfulfilled somehow … lost and trapped. After a string of spectacularly failed relationships, with my health not the best, and ‘handcuffed’ to the golden cage of my well-paid job, I found myself in the middle of a classic midlife crisis.

What can we learn from the “Phantom of the Open”?

Maurice Flitcroft was a crane operator working at a shipyard in North-East England. He was 44 years old in October 1974 when he did something ordinary. He watched a golf tournament. Nobody knew that watching that tournament that afternoon in front of his brand-new color-tv would be a life-changing event. It was the day when Maurice decided to become a golfer… one who would write history.

„All you need is …!“

On November 16, 2019, I sent an email to family and friends inviting them to celebrate the “half-time of my life” at the end of May, 2020. I could have also called it the “31^st anniversary of my 19^th birthday,” or simply let them know I would be crossing half the half-century mark. Many had signed up, and in February 2020, the organisation of the event was done.

But sadly, we all know what happened after that. The world went into a stand-still for 2 years. It was impossible to even think about having a party and celebrating with friends. By the end of 2021, I started another attempt at organising the event, and with the world opening, it became more and more likely it could happen in June 2022.

As the big day drew closer, I was quite anxious about how it would go.

Two Yogurts In A Fridge

Think of an incident when someone else’s behaviour was so appalling to you, that it triggered a stark emotional reaction. Maybe it was someone acting selfish, rude, greedy, arrogant, mean, inflexible, etc. Anything come to mind?

As part of my psychotherapy studies I came across an interesting psychological concept recently, which taught me an interesting lesson… revealed in two yogurt containers.

The lesson is all about shadows, which, according to Carl Jung, “exist as part of the unconscious mind and are composed of repressed ideas, weaknesses, desires, instincts, and shortcomings.”

This is the darker side of our nature we don’t really want to acknowledge. The shadows contain all the things that are unacceptable to society… and to our own personal morals and values. That’s why we don’t want to acknowledge them!
