Think Positive For A Positive Life
by on May.15, 2010, under Uncategorized
I am a person who has often felt unhappy with the hand of cards that I have been dealt; especially when going through the teenage years. One person actually mentioned that I walked around like I had the weight of the world and its problems on my shoulders.
For those of you who may be pondering what issues I had at the time here is a brief description. I had a stutter which had affected me from the age of four. Stuttering put a huge dent in my confidence and made me withdraw into my shell.
I had a weight problem which was mainly caused by comfort eating when I was depressed. For whatever reason I have a small area on my scalp, the size of a small coin, where I am basically bald - this has been the source of amusement for many of my work class mates and work colleagues in the past. I was always the shortest person in the class and for a male I am well below the average height at five-foot four. I have struggled in my career originally for a pet insurance company however I am not doing well offering people flyer printing.
At the age of eighteen, I was having a conversation with one of friends who is called John. John was one of the people I had always been jealous of for many different reasons. During the night John, after drinking copious amounts of alcohol, started to become quite upset and some what emotional. He opened up to me in a way that I had never seen before and stated that he thought his father was an alcoholic and that he has regularly hit his mother in the past. He was very worried about this and was not sure what to do.
I have learnt that we all have problems and that in most cases there is always people worse off than ourselves. I now try to think in a much more positive way and am very happy with the cards I have been dealt.
