Gus - Speak Well Behind One's Back

What if you didn’t get what you wanted yesterday, what if you became who you were meant to be in your own timing?

Today I want to introduce you to Gus, a human with what I can only describe as a gravitational pull, a tangible presence of light, and one that holds space for others to find their potential. Gus is one that might describe himself as a “hooligan” and he is one you are sure to have a good time around, but more than anything he is one that intentionally chooses to use his own life experiences to give back to others 

He shares what it means to be a free diver, how it healed him from violence and aggression, how he attributes it to saving his life, and how it has given him the tools to express his emotions. How diving has brought different cultures, personalities, and people into his life; and how they have impacted him for the better.

We chat about the work we need to be willing to put into a healthy relationship, the honesty we need to give to another for a chance at real connection, and what it means to be real and honest with your own emotions, how a lie is sometimes simply not expressing what you feel in totality

He shares how he can know when he has pushed himself to capacity, when feelings of darkness, or a lack of tolerance begin to form; what it means to care for ourselves so we have capacity to see things like a dog barking or someone needing help as things that we can come alongside without frustration because we have cared for our well being 

Gus is someone that shares wisdom, wisdom that comes from a place of humility, wisdom that speaks with a tone of gentle love, a voice that knows what it is to be lost at times, a heart that desires sincerely for others to be whole. 

So tune in today and meet Gus, a human I admire, for his humility, honesty, joy, and the way he intentionally shares all he is with others, from a meal to a conversation about loss or joy, Gus is one that is a man choosing to be a better man each day and one that is doing all he can to support those around him to do the same

And to you Gus thank you, thank you for sharing space with me, for your light, for the way you genuinely speak of all life has taught you, and for your open heart in allowing others to see how life has shaped you. I have the utmost respect for how you show up in this world and it is an honor to know you. May life return to you all the love you continue to give, both to yourself and to those that get to know you.
