Читать книгу The Comeback - Shane Hodge - Страница 2

A Comeback is often associated with Sportspeople, Actors - all usually famous “back in the day” and after a period away from the limelight through whatever reason they have another shot at the title!

This Comeback is not about a reversal of famous misfortune. This Comeback is about you. Now you maybe a Father, Son, Husband, Wife, Daughter, Friend that had joy once in those relationships, but it may have slipped away and you’re looking for another chance bigger and better than before. This Comeback is about overcoming health issues, relationships breakdowns, business failures. This Comeback is written to help you on your way to putting that Championship belt of “life” and “Love” back on.

Is The Comeback a training program, a self help book? It could be classed as that but what it is in reality is a series of Chats between me, Shane Hodge and You who’s reading it. How did I come up with that style?

The Comeback as you will read is a “Combination”. First it’s a result of my own experience that goes back over twenty-five years in the field of Motivation and Personal Development. Secondly it is a result of three wonderful months I spent with my Mother whilst she was coping with Cancer and the daily chats we had. Lastly it’s about the Comeback of ordinary people like you and me with ordinary problems, how we can change and how we can turn a disaster into a victory.

These Chats between my Mummy and me that were often held sitting in a park, around her bedside, on the back porch at the family home, are the format for my chats with you. The chats are designed to help you with answers and advice to questions you may raise during the stages of your own Comeback. I hope you enjoy the chats as much as I did with my Mum and that you’re Comeback in whatever area of life you choose is a great one.

My own Comeback would not have been successful without the help of many people, but in particular I want to say thank you to a few.

 To My Brother Craig and Sister Karen, I love you both and I thank you for your support and for allowing and accepting my Comeback as your Brother.

 Tracy Hodge the Champion of “Never give up” thank you my love and hugs babe for your constant encouragement, and never letting me forget “you got potential baby”.
