Paul is joined by Alex Sapala to talk about his life, from his humble but happy childhood beginnings in Malawi where he strove to be the best in school and eventually gained a place at a prestigious private school where he gained access to a curriculum and standard of learning that he never imagined he could take part in.
Upon graduating he received some sad news that rocked his world and meant he was suddenly in charge of looking after his siblings. The one thing that kept him going was that he needed to take control and use the qualifications he’d gained to get a good job for his family to survive. This led him to further education, studying abroad, eventually ending up in London where he got a job as an accountant with Deloitte. He now aspires to share business and financial knowledge with upcoming entrepreneurs and experienced business minds to learn and master the concepts and mindsets required to succeed, stand-out, have the edge and make a difference.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
I could see there was a distinction between people experiencing a difficult life and those who excelled in education who were able to turn their life around; working for good companies and having good houses. I picked up that I had control, so instead of concentrating on the fact that life was hard and difficult for me, I shifted my mindset to say I can turn my life around.
Being faced with tragedy and loss as a child made me think about what lessons I would teach my own children about life and how we sometimes suffer through the challenges that come along in life. It makes you think about what story you write or tell about your life. Understanding about mindset and grief helped me to write that chapter of my life.
Gratitude encompasses everything, in gratitude you’re understanding the everything happens for a reason and that challenges are there to teach you something that will make you stronger on your path to growth. Being grateful almost takes away the need for forgiveness because it doesn’t quite exist in that contest, you’re just grateful to be in that challenge.
As we begin to grow we begin to understand life and things at different levels of consciousness, to understand what is important and what matters in life, we begin to learn how love encompasses everything that we do and we can begin to pick which things we want to put emphasis on because everything is within us.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We didn’t have much when I was a child, but we were happy because we didn’t know any different.’
‘My family didn’t tell me that my father had died in case it distracted me from my GCSEs, it was hard to take, but I understand the thinking behind it now.’
‘The Greek myths were fascinating to me, my imagination let me experience a different world than my own.’
‘Negative energies don’t serve anyone. Gratitude helps us move forward and inspire others.’
