I often hear people say that they find it difficult to speak and deal with people who are in authority; this could be their parents, their boss at work, the police or somebody else they feel are in a higher position than them. I also had similar issues and even fears when dealing with these type of people, that was until I was aged twenty-two. At this age I went through a process of self-improvement that would ultimately change my life for the better. I wanted to improve the way that I lived my life as I was unhappy with the direction that I was moving in as well as the lack of success that I had had in the past. I started to read books related to gaining self-confidence and increasing self-confidence. One of the first issues I learnt how to deal with was with regards to “how to deal with people in authority”. It was a simple lesson to learn in reality; it was that we are all in fact equals. Whether you are speaking with the cleaner or the chairman you should handle and think about the situation in the same way, after all many cleaners have gone on to become chairman!

I then learnt about the art of appreciation. Instead of feeling that I was hard done by and that I was one of the unluckiest people in the world I started to realise that I in fact was one of the lucky ones. I was born in England, let’s face it there are many worse countries to be born in; Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Zimbabwe, just to name a few. I also had a loving, healthy and supportive. Many people can not say the same, unfortunately for them.

I then learned about the power of positive thinking, I had been a person who had always thought in a negative way, no wonder I had had such an unsuccessful past!
