Dear Future Nigel, let me tell you...

If you have achieved the near impossible by walking the Camino and finishing it with your injured knee, well done. You should really be proud of this achievement after everyone said you shouldn’t do it or couldn’t do it.
To have quit your corporate life after 21 years, risk financial insecurity at 50 years old and back yourself, well done. It’s the right decision.
I hope this 3 months in Europe and walking this historical way has slowed the mind, allowed some clarity of thought and deep insight into the next stages of work, enjoyment and health.
Whatever lies ahead know that you can overcome it. The simple things in life are the most important, being family, friends, health and time.
Remember the GEM, Great-fullness, Empathy and Mindfulness.
Let’s hope for less judgement, ego and materialism, replaced with more time, love, happiness and time with the tribe.
You have found adventure at 50 again. It’s now the beginning of the next exciting phase of life.
