Series 2 of 5: Five Key Core Components of the Business of Your Life
Series 2 of 5: “Build Confidence”
As luck would have it, I could play almost every sport that was available to both girls and boys. (I was the only girl in the street) This set me up to learn stuff, what winning was, how to use time and a whole lot of things about moving, action, changing roles, perspectives, and strategizing.
A fortunate encounter led me to understand my need to ask this question:
“With what I have, how can I get where I want?
This led me to countless learning opportunities. Choosing to study physics not history, did night school to pass English, reading “read faster read better”. I still don’t write well but I do read fast now.
I know you might be bored right now, perhaps feeling trapped and isolated. You have been here before, you choose to do something, you took a path that might have required enormous focus and effort. Sometimes you may have given up freedoms your peers took for granted. So, did I.
Making the transition to a civilian life was not easy, I was often anxious that I would become irrelevant, the distance I felt from my family was terrifying. I kept busy doing stuff hoping the next path / way would materialise. Like a bolt of lightning, I realised I was back to seeing a man walk on the moon. Question time!
Changing your Life is like a Snowstorm.
It is here, finally it has arrived!
- Nothing matters other than the successful weathering of the snowstorm,
- No amount of wishing can change the lack of preparation,
- No amount of blaming others makes it any easier,
- No amount of sorrow can change the results,
- The lessons are huge and only the survivors can use them,
- There is much the snowstorm has in common with everyday life!!
Always Remember: While outer confidence can be faked for periods of time, it takes a lot of communication, clarity, and calmness to consistently feel inner confidence
