Hi dear friends,

This week I  am highlighting the importance of having people in your life who believe in you… Not like the overinflated egos of so-called celebrities. But ordinary fearful, nervous people such as you and I..

In church I  actually remove my spectacles… That way I  avoid the condescending looks, or glances away.

The child who, at school was maybe put down for singing… Some never ever sing again… Unfortunately making way for the bullies. Who of course have no talent at all anyway.

They used to say that bullies grow out of it .. Many go on to be managers, and places of authority, even some care homes…

Anyway… Now we are adults, how do we find genuine support for ourselves. We all need self confidence, but a bit of moral support now and then really helps.

In school reports, we always had that one teacher who was bitterly disappointed with us…

I had a sibling who was very academic… ‘Your sister can do it, why can’t you?’ And other stupid statements.

I ended up believing that it was me who was stupid… For years…

So how do we turn this around now?

Right now…

Clubs tend to be a no no…  Rooms full of people there to be seen…

It used to be people with a common interest, clubbing together, and sharing something really special to do with their particular interest

Now it is members paying for things that only committee members get to enjoy…

Railway societies,  where only the same people get to drive

Social clubs, the same people get the best seats.

The cycling club where you have to have the ‘right’ gear to ‘fit in’

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Check out ‘positive affirmations’ on you tube. Start to accept for yourself what is being said.</p>
There is a book called ‘letters to a poet’, that is considered to  be helpful here.

Let go of the negative self talk. It is almost always wrong… We are worth it… All of us…

Find that thing you happen to be naturally gifted at, and build on it. Seek out the places and people who will nurture you, read up, and watch videos  on you tube. Even make your own videos for you tube. A phone camera is good enough. Share your thoughts with the whole world, not just your small corner.

And me? Well, I write… just for me… I write the stuff I like to read… Anything at all.

Let’s see how we get on this week…

Write on yout notebook software, you don’t need anything particularly special. And be proud of it. It is specifically yours…

Many celebrities don’t even read the books with their names on… No fun in that at all… nor achievement…

Until next week then 28/06/2024, same sort of time, right here.
