Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?
Funny enough, yes I had to give a speech a few months ago for my good friend at his wedding in the Philippines. I was truly honoured to be asked and I am delighted to say it was a success. I’m not the most confident person out there and I do tend to be nervous with public speaking so I was delighted to have successfully carried it out but it was also such a relief when it was over.
I will be doing the same thing again for my best friend’s wedding in a couple of weeks. The speech is written and now I just need to say it a few times to make sure the flow will be good. Again, I feel honoured but will be nervous on the day. Pray for me!!!
I often think of this quote by Molière – “The greater the obstacle, the greater the glory in overcoming it.”
I will keep you all posted with how it goes…
You got this!!

The greatest common human fears, in order, are spiders, snakes, heights, public speaking and enclosed spaces. Given how high public speaking is on this list, doing well with it is pretty great! 😊

Good luck, mate! Wedding speeches are great fun. Everyone is happy, probably a little tipsy, and there’s joy in the air. You’ll do great!
