The problem with making statements in these blogs is they stare you right in the face whenever they happen to fail miserably at holding to them. So I didn’t manage to get my blog out by 12, but I have good reason. You see at midday only half my day has happened to me, so I don’t have as much to write about.
So I decided to hold off until 5 when I actually had something to write about. So anyway it was a good one thanks to an interesting bit of mail about a course that might be able to help my little brother lift his outlook and self-esteem. The course is called lifeworks (www.lifeworks.ac.nz) and is all about personal development. Basically its like a life skills course about designing a successful future, similar to personal power or get the edge. Best thing about this course is it’s free! The government funds it so that’s all good.
I really think this is something that could make a huge difference to his life. Right now he tells me he’s feeling really lost and doesn’t know what to do with his life. I remember when I was 18, god it was a nightmare. I finally got the freedoms I’d wanted and had no idea what to do with them so I got into a rut much like he is now.
So having been in his shoes before I’m keen to help him back on his feet. The only problem is I don’t want to push him too hard, so hopefully Lifeworks is gonna be a good way to help.
