Win Charles talks about taking charge of your destiny and moving forward with your dreams and aspirations regardless of the obstacles that present themselves on your way is a perfect example of living spiritually, at least in my book.

 

Our guest is living her life fully as if she is an able bodied person. She manages to take charge of her life regardless of a disability which is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain. This can be caused by so many events and everyone can have this disability at any stage of her life. When the term able bodied person is used it means being 'mainstream' and going through life with people without disabilities.

 

Win shares her experience of participating in the Kona IronMan Triathlon which taught her how to be in her own body, being her person, learning to say no and how it changed her life. One of the key lessons was the importance of saying no as well as the role of a vision in major life undertakings.

 

She brings forward an attitude of letting mother nature taking care of the unfolding of events. There is a brief mention of Win's Women of Wisdom podcast where you can get more insights a behind the scenes understanding of Pol's journey. Then Win goes into more details as to living a life with a greater mission and how to live beyond the mechanics of ticking off actions from a to-do list.

 

Win talks about 2 key moments in which she started to smell the roses. One of them was losing her ability to walk and the second was seeing her mother die. She asked for her mother's approval to write a book about her disability and challenges for which she received approval to do it gracefully. As we continue our conversation the concept of glamorous illnesses is put out there for us to consider the implication this has on people's lives.

 

As we get into the core of the interview Win goes into the concept of uncertainties, not knowing and facing life without being able to predict what is next. Who doesn't face life without the certainty of what will by their next step? Could your life's event and challenges trigger a journey of soul searching and discovering who you are?

 

Win's spiritual journey took her from one religion to becoming atheist to finally find a new religion that speaks well with her. Listen to interview to tune in to Win's message and what it means for your life.
