A FEW QUESTIONS:

Ron, what do you think the world needs more of?

​

I believe the world needs more empathy not only towards others but to ourselves.  In the fast-paced world we live in our focus is far too often on the next prize, next challenge, or the next accolade, that we do not spend enough time getting to know each other or showing the compassion that we all desire and deserve.  Empathy towards ourselves is learning to forgive ourselves for our mistakes (we all make them) and recognizing that we are not perfect.  The world would be a much kinder and enjoyable place if we learned to concentrate on the positives surrounding us and to learn to forgive ourselves (and others) for every decision or error we make.

Have you, or anyone close to you, had to overcome any trauma, or mental health challenge?

​

As a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces with over twenty-five years service I have witnessed firsthand the debilitating effects that mental health can have on seemingly healthy individuals.  Far too often the stigma that many associate with mental health prevents people from seeking the help they need and deserve.  Often a little guidance and a helping hand is all that is needed to curtail the impact and angst that many people are suffering.  Life itself is a cycle of emotions often leaving people feeling lost or confused.  Seeking assistance in navigating their concerns often leads to a better path towards happiness and feeling better.
