The King's Speech

I took advantage of my free Monday schedule to watch a DVD of the film, “The King’s Speech”. The two main actors were superb in their respective roles. This movie might win many Oscars awards. Two things struck me from this movie. The first is the perseverance of the King in trying to overcome his speech defect. I am reminded of not giving up on my own weaknesses even though I might seem not to improve or continue to fall repeatedly in them. Secondly, what truly helped the King in overcoming his speech defect was his friendship with his unorthodox therapist. I have an intuition that I will greatly be helped in my process of healing and renewal through the care and concern of friends who understand, support and guide me, rather than by distant and objective professionals.
