Dyslexia - Part Two 🌼
Self perception never used to be talked about, but this is fundamental in self belief. Because I had been taught that I wasn't capable of doing so many things I didn't believe I could ..... then one Autumn day,I was 25 and living in Edinburgh, my flatmate Lizzy, an old school pal, suggested that I try reading Harry Potter. I had tried reading books but never got past the first chapter. Reading for me was anything but pleasurable, I associated it with difficult times at school.
To experience utter joy from the written word was such a shock. I didn't want to put the book down.... to go to sleep! 😴✨ I had read my first book purely for pleasure.
If I could read for pleasure ....... what else could I do? I grabbed life with both hands and never looked back..... Thank you Lizzy! 🥰
Dyslexia does not mean that you can not achieve you dreams and your goals. Sometimes we have to adapt, but our brains work in ways than others, we have abilities work work out problems and see the world in a different way. These are strengths, they are our springboards to launching into whatever world we wish to dive.
Build your dreams and be happy. Love yourself and your uniqueness.
With much love
