How I Obtained Personal Happiness
Today I am a happy person, I am proud and I am content. Why? Well because I have managed to turn my life around. No longer am I that paranoid man with a low self-confidence. I now live life with a smile on my face and am very much looking forward to the future. In this article I will be describing how I went about and succeeded in making these life changes.
Besides my nervous way of speaking (I had a speech impediment commonly referred to as stuttering), the following areas of confidence coaching were of interest to me:
I had, for whatever reason, a lack of belief at the workplace
For whatever reason I was a person who believed that he would fail every task that he was set
I needed to become much more assertive
I would often get dragged down by negative comments
I was paranoid (at least a subtle feeling) that people don’t like me
I used to walk around as if the world owed me something and would often feel
very sorry for myself
I wanted to be able to speak with authority and presence
I wanted to see fear and anxiety as a challenge and not as a prison cell
I wanted to learn to be self-assured and to be able to feel comfortable in any place, anytime
I wanted to be able to talk to anyone, at anytime and feel completely in control and natural
As you can see I wanted quite a lot! By reading literature about how to gain confidence, how to increase self-confidence and about how to become a success helped me, in some degree, with all of the above. I realised that I needed to be a lot more care-free, I needed to stop worrying about what other people thought of me and I needed to appreciate what I had in life. Only by doing this will I ever have any chance of becoming a success.
I am now a lot more confident and proficient in my business life which is in the training for foster carers sector. It is a good place to be – happy at work and happy at home.
