👇Here's how I announced my death on Facebook👇
…Don't worry, I'm still here...
**********
"I am the LEAST LIKELY success story...
This the death of... John ( names have been changed to protect the innocent member(s) of the witless protection program AKA Stephen )...and the birth of João AKA Jon-jon (Steve)!
The ...birth, death and re-BIRTH<sup>2x</sup> was pretty DRAMATIC...
1) Survived Minor Stroke in CA wherein I was out for an unspecified duration...
2) Survived Minor, Victim of a Hit-n-Run Car Accident, in FL wherein I was out for an unspecified duration...
Past precipitating circumstances:
Survivor Ionization Chambers...
Survivor Schizo/ PPD/ MPD
Survivor Child Abuse, physical & emotional
Survivor PTSD 9/11, Vietnam to Gulf Wars
Am Resurrected! wherein I was resurrected, and am still alive...
I came to, last in a CAT SCAN session going thru the third time...
At ORMC
But this isn't a pity party...
I want to help YOU re-invent YOU at my Next mastermind!"
**********
I did kinda suffered a 'stroke o' luck' or 'got that run down feeling,' one time too many... ...clinically, DIED<sup>2x</sup> and was RESSURECTED<sup>2x</sup> but only in a 'sense,' a metaphorical way so that I could birth my attractive character – meme, my alter ego.... and create a then vs now sales letter story to sell my upcoming Mastermind with the likes of James Smiley and Rachel Pederson...
In the next part of the sales letter, I went on to paint in some 'thens'... 'n NOW!
'Not even 5 years ago...' I was homeless...
'Many years ago... 'left home the island of Brava, Cape Verde Island, Africa whence, I was 9 1/2 and have yet to return'...
'was marched out of the house at 17 yo, when I did find my parents three continents away in Bklyn NY... 7 years later...
Next, I threw in some 'nows'... Worked overseas in KSA, Kuwait/Iraq & Afghanistan, provided comms ( inet, radio, & telephony services... via a SATCOM Node ) ...lived in a A/C tent in Kuwait/Iraq in the middle of the desert, converted shipping container in Iraq and a dormitory left by the Russians in Afghanistan....
'I'm no longer those things...'
' John ( Stephen ) was all of those things...João AKA Jon-jon ( Steve ) is NONE of them...'
On today's episode, I want to tell you how, ironically, the only real way to "know thyself", is to continually "sculpt thyself"... 're-invent thyself'
