Don’t Givr Up

Heaven’s greetings Pattern Realm

Maybe you know that a week ago I participated in a division toastmasters speech competition in Lubbock, Texas. The outcome of it was disheartening, but one thing has come in my mind, don’t give up!

I was sick the day after the competition and unfortunately had to miss church, so my wife and I had a lovely worship service at home.

Despite the fact that I have gotten better, I have been lethargic and at times discouraged,but I have gained perspective that the contest was only giving myself second best! I aim to be a professional paid public speaker.

I’ve left from that disappointment, some unique perspective that I was settling for second best that I was giving up because I felt like that was expected, and that is not the way my maternal grandfather raised me.

So to put it simple for the longest time I’ve given up on what my ideal should be, but that doesn’t excuse my lack of discipline and determination. I will aim to do better and not let my audience down again

in Christ

Hey Pattern Realm Let's start a dialogue!      Mental health issues are so much more prevalent than you can imagine, to the end it behooves every entrepreneur whether their business is big or small to be anxiously engaged in the cause of mental health awareness using some of the basic tools in public relations such as social media.       Why?       Mental health issues are more common than you think p.  You or someone you know could be struggling with some mental health issues.  It's a daily struggle and if we put the word out we can let people know that people with mental health challenges can manage it properly with proper connection and better awareness.       I think of used properly social media can leave one of those tools name like such platforms as Lincoln and YouTube.  I resorted my ruling on Facebook and Instagram at this point       I also t...
