People just amaze me sometimes!

Just had an interesting thing happen...

Visually impaired chap with a guide dog outside government offices in Victoria, London. The dog evidently is 'doing it's business' in the middle of the pavement, must be about 20 people standing around watching, waiting to see who will clear it up, if anyone.

What do you think happened? Would you have stood and watched and said 'tsk' to yourself under your breath?

Well, another lady and I both approached to see if we could help, both digging in our handbags for an old carrier bag. In the meantime, a well-dressed middle-aged chap approached us and in no uncertain terms told us that it was not our responsibility and just because the chap was blind didn't make him above the law.

I was amazed and disgusted at this attitude and simply got on with clearing up the mess.

Don't people just amaze you sometimes?

Keeping a confidence diary

A great way to boost your confidence is to keep a confidence diary.

It is a smart tool to just remind yourself just how good you really are and what you have to be thankful for and pleased about in your life right now.

Either buy yourself a notebook or a day to view diary and once a week for the next month I’d like you to jot down your answers to the following confidence questions.

Don’t give me any excuses about you haven’t got the time to do it!

Take just 10 minutes per week, sit down and jot down your thoughts to:


1. What have I got to be grateful for in my life right now?


2. What am I happy about in my life right now?


3. Why am I happy about these things?


4. What did I accomplish last week?


5. What am I excited about in my life right now?


6. Who do I love and appreciate in my life? Who do I like hanging around? Why?


7. Who loves and appreciates me for what I am? Warts ‘n all!


Answer these questions at the start of each week and it will set you up for success.

If you need a booster midweek, then by all means answer them again whenever you want to feel centred and remind yourself of what you have got going for yourself in your life right now.

Right now, I'm looking out of my office window, enjoying the morning sunshine and being grateful that I live in such a beautiful place - how about you?
