Counsellor's Diary

By Roger King

Sometimes I find myself doing things I would not normally do. Today I supported one of my friends enter a bodybuilding contest at a nightclub. It was a most fascinating spectacular event with a “Full Monty” atmosphere. To support a friend when they take risks in doing something outside their comfort zone is a signal to the ‘cosmic chef’ we are willing to go that extra mile for a friend. Perhaps the story below may inspire you... (by the way, they came second in the contest and loved every minute of it.)

YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND

Most people report that they do not usually feel confident. But exciting things can happen when we actually believe in ourselves. Here is a man who believed in his own ability even as a boy, and that confidence helped shape his adult life.

At the turn of the last century, a young boy quit school to help with the family expenses. When he was fifteen, he became interested in automobiles and worked in a garage. He subscribed to a correspondence home study course on automobiles and, after a long day in the garage, studied at the kitchen table by lamplight.

When he felt ready, he walked into the Frayer-Miller Automobile Company of Columbus, Ohio. When Mr. Frayer noticed him, he asked, "Well, what do you want?"

"I just thought I'd tell you I'm coming to work here tomorrow morning," the boy replied.

"Oh! Who hired you?"

"Nobody yet, but I'll be on the job in the morning. If I'm not worth anything, you can fire me." (Try that in TODAY'S market!)

Early the next morning, the young man returned to the plant. Noticing the floor was thick with metal shavings and accumulated dirt and grease, the boy got a broom and shovel and set to work cleaning the place.

Because of his self-confidence and work ethic, Eddie Rickenbacker's future was predictable. He went on to excel in many fields, including automobile racing, piloting World War I planes and founding what was to become one of America's largest airline companies - Eastern Airlines.

There is no magic bullet to instantly become a self-confident person. But it begins with one of the most important relationships in your life - your relationship with yourself. People who become more confident habitually encourage themselves. They become their own best friend.

Rob Bremer asks the question, "If you had a friend who talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would you continue to hang around with that person?" If the answer is "Yes!" you are on the track to becoming more self-assured.

Without confidence, you are not likely to move far in the direction of your dreams. But become your own best friend and almost anything will be possible.

25 Affirmations to Change Your Life
(Book 2)
by Roger King

 To family and friends this Christmas. You will not regret it.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore your dream."

                                              -- Mark Twain

 A MANTRA FOR LIFE

 ... by Rita                       

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, and then have another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we will be more content when they are. After that we are frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with, we will be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our lives will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together. When we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now - when? Your life will always filled with challenges. It is best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of the best quotes comes from Alfred D. Sousa. He said, For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life but there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, debt to be paid - then life - would, begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness, happiness is the way! So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with ... and remember that time waits for no- one.

So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose a stone, until you gain a stone, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house. Until you star work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car, pay off your home, until spring, until summer, until you've had a drink, until you are sober, until you are born again, until you die. Decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy... do what makes you happy...     happiness is a journey, not like a destination!

So work like you don't need the money... Love like you have never been hurt and dance like no one is watching!!!
