Mason and Scope on Parramatta Recruitment and How Premierships Are Won
What Wins Premierships? Talent, culture, systems, pathways, or belonging and connectedness? For some, the answer is simpler. Who cares about the why? Sack as many as possible. Sign sexy names. Job done. One thing is for sure: premierships rarely…

Hi Don . Thanks for sharing your story . Life has been tough for you mate and I wish you well . So you were working up until the car accident in February?
Good on you Don you tough bastard. You survived all those things but it looks like the bureaucratic red tape might do you in.
Geez mate, they say things come in threes...I think you broke that rule. Anyway, hope you're going ok, and get by until the money starts flowing your way again.
Stuff me roan and I thought I had been through shit .got nothing on you mate
It will happen mate, before you clock off. Seems like itll take armaggedon to finally do you in anyway lol. Keep rollin on brother, keep the faith
Thaks for the reply Poppa. Its good to see someone with the strength to talk about their beleifs. I am right there with you Poppa, I am Spiritual also.
I was seperated from my family when I was 3 and I lived with the separation anxiety for most of my life. Being a youngster everyone asumed I was a difficult child being unable to bond and make friends. The State didnt care about our mental health and abandoned us once we turnes 18 to walk this Earth alone. I have a petition in at the NSW Attornie Generals Office petitioning for the State Wards as we speak.
When I was 22 I met the love of my life. Sadly she was killed in a auto accident 3 yrs later. I learned the hard way that nothing was forever.
I married for all the wrong reasons. Fortunatly I have 3 great adult children and 8 grand children.
I took up Meditation and eventually grew apart for wife number one. I became greatly Spiritually aware.
I eventually remarried to a Phillipino woman with 2 children. I realised that my greatest desire was to give someone else a better life. I also offer guidance to people who may or maynot want it. The Spiritual journey is a private journey often by self worth issues, such as the ones I have.
My wife accepts that i talk about other realms and think in a manner that most poeple would be put into a Asylum for. You have a strong background Poppa, in Spirituallity. Through Meditation I have been given insights , met Spirit Guides and forefathers. In my darkest hours I have had visits at the foot of my bed from my forefathers and lain in my bed and been comforted with hugs.
So I say this to you Poppa its up to you. Whats normal for me is not necessarily normal for you.
How far do you want to go , how much are you prepared to be closer and how close do you dare to be?
Listen to Doreen Virtues Colour Meditation for everynight for 30 days at least.It is a guided Meditation that goes for 28 Min. You will never be the same person in 1 month. If you stop you will come back to your current level, except you will know that if you dare , there is a journey that awaits you.
No funny enough. I normally work 7 days a week but this day I was out to get some bits and peices.
Didnt feel any pain. Just a megga sweat.
Being dead is the same as sleeping. It only took 3 compressions to get me started. Then I stopped beating at the hospital again. Noone knows why.
God I hope he didnt give me the kiss of life. I may never stop brushing my teeth
So what do you do in your spare time don?
Are you Swiss by any chance?
This blog got me thinking.
Everyone has a story, some good, some bad and at times people see the need to share theirs for whatever reason.
One day each year we are supposed to say to all and sundry R U OK, so why not on other days?
Some of us feel like we are having a whinge when we open up about some of the not so delicious moments in our lives while others may simply need a bit of reassurance that things will mostl likely improve with persistence.
Thanks for sharing this Don, and if I was to give you one piece to take with you I would say - Keep smiling, because once you lose the ability to smile (or laugh) you have lost absolutely everything.
Well done mate.
Great post col.
