Hello everyone, my name is Christopher Liam Rose. I'm an author, mentor, life coach, motivational speaker, evangelist, musician, and activist. In my life is like a story podcast, I'm going to be sharing a message called The Story of My Life and just sharing things about my life and things that are important to me and the things that I've learned and understood on my journey. I've been sharing my life as I could story to help humanity learn more about the life experiences I've been through and also learn more about myself as a human being. I've been sharing my life as a story podcast to inspire humanity to learn about Jesus Christ Jehovah and Buddha. I've also been sharing the My Life as a Story podcast to inspire humanity to learn about spiritual change, spiritual enlightenment, and faith, spirituality, fate, and religion. So in this podcast and audio, the episode is called The Story of My Life. So basically, um within my life I've gone through so many different life experiences. So I've gone through you know a lot of different challenges as a young person, and I'm only 37, so I've lost relationships with ex-partners due to my actions and due to my mistakes. Um I've been through gangs and violence and crime and drugs and alcohol and women and lived that lifestyle which is not really good. Um I've taken overdoses and had suicide attempts due to my mental health conditions and my challenges. Um I've had um you know abuse from my childhood due to my own actions, and that's not a good thing to obviously go through within childhood. Um I've gone through a lot of mental health crisis, a lot of mental health difficulties because of my past trauma and life experiences of my childhood with with involving the gangs and the crime and the violence and what I was into when I was younger. Um I've gone to university, I've gone to college, I've gone to school, uh, I've got dyslexia, which is part of my learning disability, I've got um diabetes, which is part of my physical health problems, I've got mental health conditions of schizophrenia, psychosis and depression. Um I now help other people in mental health as episodes coordinator and a bank support worker, so I've got a lot of work within the mental health industry, I've got my faith within Christianity and Buddhism, so I'm both a Christian and also a Buddhist, and I've also been making music for a number of years, so I'm a musician that makes rap music, hip hop, RB, gospel, and Christian music. So the story of my life is basically um in the 30th of September 2014, I lost my home and all of my possessions in a fire that destroyed my home, destroyed my flat, destroyed my livelihood. I was a musician and I lost my music business and my company due to all of my possessions being burnt away, so all my musical equipment, all my um music was destroyed, and my laptops were destroyed, my whole business was um basically destroyed because of the fire of the flat of my home. And then slowly after the fire, what happened to me? I went through a mental health crisis um of schizophrenia, psychosis, and depression, and then I was sectioned in hospital in Springfield Hospital for the final time in 2014 because I was homeless and lost my home and hormonal possessions and going through a mental health crisis. While I was in hospital and while I was homeless and mentally psychotic, I received support by two people that helped me. So their names were Paul Dorrington and Dr. Karen Mitchigan. Um, Paul Dorrington is a leader and employment specialist. Dr. Karen Mitchigan is a clinical psychologist, and as I was going through the homelessness and mental health crisis, I was receiving support by Paul and Karen who were helping me in the community as I was going through these life experiences and these challenges. Slowly after that, I realized I wanted to help other people give back and make a difference. So I made a decision when I was 24 to help other people give back and make a difference, and then that's what started my career within mental health services. Um, my first ever job in mental health was a co-facilitator role running a hearing voices group within an organization called Mind, which is a mental health charity that supports clients with mental health difficulties and mental health challenges. And I worked as a co-facilit co-facilitator running a hearing voices group, and as I was running the hearing voices group and sharing a bit about my story of schizophrenia, psychosis and depression, and doing uh group activity work, I realized that this is my path in life and this is what I want to do. And um slowly after working as a co-facilitator, I started to work within the NHS as a peer support worker within CNWL in an inpatient therapy team called the Gordon Hospital, and I worked as a peer support worker, I worked as a support worker before then as well, and a support worker again, building up my experience, building my career, and then eventually, due to learning about what type of work I wanted to do and what type of work I didn't like, I made sure that I started to work in the community. So then I focused on community mental health work, working as a mental health recovery worker, a bank support worker, um, a bank mental health recovery worker, um, senior recovery worker, um, peer support worker, senior peer support worker, employment specialist, and then a peer support coordinator, which is how I built my career. So basically, from homelessness, um, a mental health crisis into 12 to 13 years of mental health work is how my story began, and like I always said in my audios and videos and my podcasts and my messages, um that was the story of my life, and then basically as I was going on the journey of helping other people, giving back and making a difference, learning about myself, discovering more things about life and who I am as a person, then I discovered the know-self, selflessness, and know thyself. I started to understand who I was as a person, my skills, my abilities, my characteristics, my life experiences, the suffering pain and adversities I've been through, and the pain, and basically learning more about myself, and then that's what brought me into religion and faith and spirituality and fate. And then I started to attend church regularly on Sundays at my local church, which was called Lighthouse Chapel International, but now they changed the name to Present Surprise Chapel International, where I started to be a Christian and started to go to the Christianity faith and religion, and then slowly after that I discovered Buddhism through doing meditation, mindfulness, and breathing exercises for my own mental health. So then in my path, Christianity and Buddhism became something that was a part of me, and that brought my faith, my spirituality, my faith in my religion. Then I started to continue to help other people for 12 to 13 years in mental health services, building my career, doing lots of different roles and jobs throughout my career, and then basically as a musician, because I was a musician before I went through the fire and the homelessness and the mental health crisis. I got back into music, started to make rap music, hip-hop music, and produced music as well for myself, and then my music grew into spiritual music, and then I became a spiritual musician. I've actually made albums called the spiritual musician, so spiritual musician one, two, and three, and the trilogy of my spiritual musician albums, and then that's when I became a spiritual musician. So the story of my life is homelessness, mental health crisis, and suffering pain and adversity. But I transcended it into the no-self, selflessness, and know thyself, and then became to be a spiritual person, a faithful person, a truthful person, and that's how my life changed, and that's the story of my life. And um, you know, I have to be grateful and thankful to Paul Doranton and Dr. Karen Mitchkin for helping me the way they did. Um, you know, I was mentally psychotic and homeless when I met them, and um they transformed my life into the way it is today, so that's the story of my life. And now, currently at the moment, I'm a basically a author of 44 books, which are all available on Amazon. I'm not homeless anymore, I have a home to live in now. Uh I work in mental health still as a peer support coordinator and a bank support worker for Peabody and NHS, and then I've got my music business, which is SGR Stargang Rockstars, which is my musical company where I make hip hop music, rap music, and spiritual music, and then I've got my faith, which is Christianity and Buddhism, and I'm a Christian and also a Buddhist, and that's the story of my life. So the main things I learned on the story of my life is that I've discovered the work of helping other people, I've discovered my faith, and I've discovered my music. So those are the three core essence areas of what makes me who I am. So when I discovered the no-self and selflessness and know thyself, I understood that there's no more me anymore, so all the things that I do are a contribution towards helping other people, giving back and making a difference, and um because I was homeless and mentally psychotic, I don't have like suffering pair adversity anymore because I've already been through suffering paired adversity and I've transcended it into the work of helping other people, giving back and making a difference, spiritual music and faith. So now my life is completely changed. So all the past trauma that I have is basically non-existent, uh it doesn't affect me now, and I've basically changed my life to how it is today. So, you know, spiritual change becomes very important to me because that's what changed me as a human being, and um, yeah, that's the story of my life, also. So thank you for listening. I hope this inspires those people that want to learn more about my life as like a story, the story of my life, and thank you for listening now. And also, I have to mention the people that have helped me to get here: Paul Dorrington, Dr. Karen Mitchigan, Christian Naughty, and Doug Q. So Christian Naughty helped me when I was younger to learn about meditation, mindfulness, and spirituality in faith. So I watched his video series with Dr. Allen called A Wholly Different Way of Living. So it was an eight video series, 18 video series, sorry, of basically information about how to transform yourself as a human being. And then with Doug Hewitt Mills, I've been attending this church since I was about 24 now, so 37 is that's over 12 to 13 years of just going to church and being a part of his corrugations and his ministries. So Paul Doranton is a leader and employment special that helped me to gain back into employment and get back into the mental health work and support people and help other people. And Dr. Karen Mitch can help me when I was mentally psychotic and homeless in CBT therapy and psychological therapy to transform my life into um helping other people, giving back and making a difference. So that's the story of my life, and I honor the people that have helped me to get here, and thank you for listening to the podcast and audio.
