" It's Amazing!! I'm still in shock. I have gone from
being a prolific offender living a chaotic lifestyle to living a settled and
happy life."
"If you set your mind to it anything is achievable, but it is up to you to make the changes that need to be made."
"If you set your mind to it anything is achievable, but it is up to you to make the changes that need to be made."
Each of us is blessed with natural talents, things that you do
brilliantly, that give you energy, keeps you excited and empowers you to
produce extraordinary results.
Discovering what your natural talents are can take years and
some never truly grasp what those talents are resulting in a life that is less
fulfilling, and oftentimes filled with struggle.
High Yellow Natalie Atkinson, 25, did
six stints in secure children’s homes and seven terms in prison during a
chaotic eight-year spell which saw her locked-up with rapists, murderers and
drug-dealers.
But in a remarkable tale
of redemption she has now gained a degree in Criminology with first class
honours and is preparing to start her Masters at the London School of
Economics.
She first got into
trouble aged 12, quit school in year nine and fell out with her family, leading
her into a life of foster care, self-harm and alcohol dependency.
'I was out of control. I
was drinking all the time and fighting. I had a lot of built up anger, a lot of
upset. I started falling out with my family and I ended up in the care system."
Identifying your areas of brilliance will accelerate the process of becoming the person you are capable of being.
"If someone had said to me a few years ago that in 2014
I'd be graduating with an honours degree, moving to London to commence a
Masters degree, and looking forward to a successful career, I would have
laughed.
All you need to do is take little steps to begin with
and you will see things changing. Everyone will have a different path to
desistance, you just need to find yours."
Darrell Ormeron, chief executive of University of Cumbria
Student Union
"Natalie's story is compelling. Her commitment to
developing herself so that she may in turn, help others as she has been helped,
is simply inspiring."
You are not alone
Just like Natalie, you are unique, yet you share a
systematic framework with 25% of the worlds population, who share the same
comfort zone as you have, the same wants,
needs, and expectations, and natural talents.
Whether you are an amiable supportive High Blue, cool competitive High
Red, intellectual and analytical High
Green or outgoing enthusiastic High Yellow you have amazing areas of brilliance that when you
utilize them will empower you to do things effortlessly and better than the
majority of people on the planet.
Becoming the person you are capable of being.
Don't take my word for it. Just ask Natalie.
Natalie is a High Yellow
