Nick Jermyn's portrait
Nick Jermyn: "Wake up; love yourself, be authentic and compassionate to yourself and others"
BPP: Who are
you? And who you really are?
Nick Jermyn: This is a difficult
question to answer. Firstly I don’t
understand why it is split in to two, surely the answer is the same to
both. So, who am I? I am a beautiful, imperfect, contradictory,
evolving, curious, human being; I am a seeker.
What am I willing to be defined by?
Nothing other than this: I am a
man, no more, no less. But I am a man
that is built by his experiences and these are many and varied: I am a son and a brother, a God-Father, a
cousin, a friend, an ex-husband and ex-lover, a retired Royal Marines
Lieutenant Colonel and a newly trained actor and singer. I am a qualified teacher, rugby coach and
coach of coaches and Triathlon coach, a PADI Rescue Diver and a skier. I have a BA Hons degree in History and Drama
and an MA in International Defence. I am
Forty Three years old, heterosexual, 6’2”, 185 lbs, I have travelled the world,
served in war zones, written poetry and sung in front of thousands. I am all these things and more, who am
I? I am me.
BPP: If you could say
something important to others who were listening, what would you tell them?
Nick Jermyn:The answer to this depends on to whom I am
talking but in general I would say wake up; love yourself, be authentic and
compassionate to yourself and others.
BPP: What is your true dream, the one that keeps
you up at night and if one day it were to come true you would feel peace and
calmness in your heart?
Nick Jermyn: To love myself.
BPP: How is life currently for the people in your country and what would you wish for them and for the planet at large?
Nick Jermyn: How could I ever know what life is like for
everyone? Life is easy for some and hard
for others and it has ever been thus. I find
it harder and harder to identify with any sense of nationality, although I am
ostensibly English. I wish more people
would wake up to what is really important in this life; connection and
compassion in all matters.
BPP: If you had a
chance to be a child again would you choose the same life?
Nick Jermyn: No. I would choose a path that enabled me to listen
to my heart and to have the courage to follow its guidance.
BPP: What was the exact moment that you realized
what you wanted to do with your life?
How did you feel at this very moment?
Nick Jermyn: I don’t remember, as the decision,
made so long ago was one of thought in opposition to instinct and today I am
working to break down the walls that it built in order to rediscover my true
path and unleash my gift. The more deeply I engage in this process, the more
powerful and empowered I feel.
BPP: Would you like
to tell us something we didn’t ask until now?
Nick Jermyn: Yes, but I don’t yet know what it
is.The answer to this depends on to whom I am
talking but in general I would say wake up; love yourself, be authentic and
compassionate to yourself and others.
