Great video Gaz, Toby is an inspiration to us all. We all experience change throughout our life's and the spectrum varies immensely depending on how our self image is effected. We all go through doubt, dark times, reflective thoughts. Toby spent time letting go of his past and the found the strength to identify his inherent core values. This process is not easy, it takes time and we must take responsibility and accountability for our future actions one step at a time. No one saves us but ourselves.
