A book review - 'Dare. Dream. Do'. by Whitney Johnson.
I love books. I always have. Ever since I read my first Enid Blyton book.
My tastes have changed since then. Once my cherubs came along my concentration span has become shorter at night. I only seem to get one chapter read (max) before I fall asleep.
Yesterday I took the cherubs to the library and on the front display shelf was 'Dare. Dream. Do'.
Traditionally I have devoured 'self-help' classics like an ice-cream on a hot day. But lately my desire to read them has become jaded. For some reason however I decided to give it one more try and quickly checked-out Whitney's new book.
Admittedly I am only a few chapters in, which seems a little early to write a review, BUT I have picked up on a really strong idea that I have never thought of before.
You need to develop your own voice.
I think this is especially easy for men to do. And sometimes especially hard for women to do.
Having a voice, to me, means expressing your honest and open view about something. To know where you stand, and to voice that stance. To learn, listen and really take the time to think about your response, your view, and how it really effects you. To not put others' views before yours, or adopt something because you are too busy looking after everyone else to take the time to think about it for yourself, to sense deep-down how right it feels for you.
Thanks Whitney, you have really given me something to think about.
