Australian Special Forces (with Tim Thomas)

Each of us has something to give this world, and we often plan how we are going to do this. Ironically, while we try to follow this path we often find that there is another, completely different plan waiting for us to set it in motion. Oftentimes, this path that finds us is a far truer calling than the one that we set out on. If we allow ourselves to change course and give this new plan some momentum, it often unfolds in ways we never could have conceived or anticipated. We grow, we learn, we develop. Only inflexibility, stagnation, and fear of growth can prevent this cycle. This may sound like an easy choice to make, but fear and inflexibility are very real forces. Both of these forces are deeply rooted to our ego, and therefore carry far more weight than they should. As today’s guest, Australian Special Forces Vet Tim Thomas, speaks to during the interview, it is only when he made the decision to “take the ego out” that his true path opened up before him. From that moment Tim’s life in the Special Forces got better, the lives of Tim’s fellow troops got better, and they even became better soldiers for it. Tim maintained this approach after leaving the Special Forces and now lives a life of servanthood developing a safe space for veterans to heal and feel normal again.
