It’s often been said that life is 70% of what’s thrown at us and 30% of how we react. The percentages may change from individual to individual but the principle remains.
The point is that no-one gets through life unscathed and everyone of us is carrying baggage that we have accumulated as we make our way along the twisted pathways and through the peaks and troughs that connect our start to our end.
There are times when the journey is easy…we’re coasting downhill with the sun on our face and the breeze in our hair. Then there are the other times when it’s bleak and dark and the pathway isn’t clear. That’s when we need to call on our inner strengths and resources. Quite often, though, we need a helping hand to tap into our coping mechanisms, brush up on our skills and push the clouds away.
After 40 years in the media, involvement in a couple of businesses and a vast array of life experience it’s my passion now as a qualified Counsellor to help people be their best self.
I’ll be posting articles on a regular basis. I trust you find them helpful.
