Makalakumu Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Aloha FDR Community My name is John. I just joined FDR and I thought I would introduce myself. I discovered Stef while listening to Alex Jones and I thought that his material was really more appealing then what I was listening to at the time. I really enjoyed the focus Stef put on personal growth because that has been an intense interest of mine for about the last five years. Where to start... I currently am 36 years old. I live in Hawaii. I teach Science and Technology at the middle and high school level at a private school. I am married and have two children and these are the factors that caused me to actually join this forum. I'm trying to take in the information that Stef puts out about parenting because it seems to be the most rational way that we can acheive liberty in our lives. From my own experiences in therapy and in some personal growth classes I took, I've learned about how the events in my childhood have programmed me. I continue to learn more about this everyday. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't get into this subject earlier in my life. I wish that I would have known more about personal growth and about the benefits of therapy before I had children, before I got married. In fact, I wish that my parents simply would have loved me more, that my father would have been there for me while I was growing into a man, and that I had simply grown into the strong and empathetic man that I was destined to be. Sometimes I feel like my emotions have been footbound and that some of these programs from my childhood will never fully recover. During those times, I try to stand up straight and walk naturally so that my children can see me as I would have grown if I had the family that I needed. The effort is very tiring and I think that is why I joined this community. I appreciate the truth and I need a place to speak it with others who appreciate the truth. Mahalo Stef. Mahalo to all of you. See you around the community. John
JohnDJasper Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Welcome John. I'm a relative newby myself but I believe that stumbling upon FDR was a great cap to what was a pretty good 2012 for me anyway. I hope you enjoy the community. John
