"
You wouldnt get me going on that. its going to be a huge Adrenaline rush for him what a great idea. xx
oh my goodness how exciting just over an hour to go
Don’t forget to put all your liquids in a clear plastic bag.
Genius and madness : )
Ahhhh derren im so excited!! Eeekkkkk cannot WAIT!!! Im your number one fan man
xxxx
I think it’s safe to say that I am now thoroughly excited for this, about 50 minutes to go now
Ooooooooooooooooo IM SOOOOOOOOOOOO exciteedd! xxx
Good luck Derren, the guy involved and Objective Productions. I’m on the edge of my seat all day long. Seems very daunting and looks so far to me there may be more people involved than just one guy. Guess we gotta wait and see.
Yup, yup, yup, yup!!!!!
)))x
Can’t wait, having been “involved” in this 2 months ago……
Your a hero just for being in Bradford at night time
almost here now
can’t wait 
Well that explains why we had to put our fears/phobias on the application form.
Funny thing is that in the queue, I stood in front of him, and he was going on about his iphone.
Looks like a really great show as always. Love what you do Derren x
Just a quick thought. Matt arrived at his door, the only thing in his hand was a cigarette. He then turned around and went to write for a couple of hours with a pen and pad that he miraculously pulled from where?
Tis official I’ll never get out of my rut!! I’m thankful for Matt though. Now I need to find a way to avoid what’s in store for me. Wish me luck cos I’ll really need it.
Could I have the cabbie’s number please?
Could do with a cabbie who will take me places, wait for me and then give me a lift home and be happy with just a handshake.
Watching now. Awesome. Derren, you are an inspiration. Thank you for opening the eyes of a nation.
Think logically, and you’ll realise in 10 seconds the multitude of reasons why this could never be real. You just have to take it for what it is, entertainment giving us the lovely message of “everyone can better themselves.” Aw, touching Derren.
I think I am in love with you. In a very “unable to ever speak to you” kinda way, I am in love with you. If I ever get the chance, please grant me a hug. It would be an experience. Bloody hell you are cute.
watching on tv and lovin’ it. Kind of wishing it was me, having this opportunity…
He is definitely a changed person.
you are an amazing illusionist i think you are fantastic i am such a fan a very talented and gifted person i am mesmerised by you and all that you do it would be an honour to meet you although you have met my brother which i envy him enjoying the show immensly x =)
As much as I would like to believe all this, it is like believing that 1 person created the universe. I can’t! No matter how scared I was, I would never volunteer for something I could not do.
Sorry, while it makes good TV, I can’t believe this, as much as I would like to.
Fantastic, most amazing thing!
That. Was. Brilliant. Raising the bar as ever Derren, top work.
That was your best project so far Derren.
It was fantastic and I was so pleased Matt overcame
his fear to be a hero!
Derren is a hero too because he always conducts
himself with great integrity……….Excellent.
He got on the plane it was bright sunshine…he landed it in pitch dark even though it was a short flight. Surely he would have thought that was a little strange?
Brilliant – had me in tears at the end! Well done x
Amazing show Derren, fantastic work by all that were involved!!!! You are all hero’s!! Love Rachel xx
That was absolutely awesome Derren and hope to see more things like this again. This helped me gain a bit of confidence as my personality is just like his was. Love your work Derren, keep it up!
Astonishing!
Remarkable bit of TV. I’m going to change things in my life from this moment on after watching this show.
Funny how we just go about our daily lives doing the same routine. Saying we’ll do this and that and never bother.
By thought, the things are bought to you. By action you receive them.
Come on everybody! You can do it, just like I’m going to.
Good luck!
wow wow wow probably the most emotional project yet Derren and it was great… FANTASTIC !!!!
Well done Darren your fantasic, great show and i even had tears in my eyes at the end.
Truly inspiring. Keep up the good work!
Derren, you never cease to amaze me! Such an amazing journey, was rooting for Matt the whole way. Now, anytime you fancy turning my life around – it’d be fully welcome.
Derren you are amazing!loved it!8,9,10,11,12 over and out. Genius! xxx and that guy was so lovely all the best 2 him 4 the future x genuinely moved by the whole thing x
Quality idea Derren ur a genius, cant wait to see who the next life is you change in 30 days.
He got on the plane it was bright sunshine…he landed it in pitch dark even though it was a short flight. Surely he would have thought that was a little strange?
i saw 3 films Donny Darko, One hour photo and The Game all rolled into this show … i liked it
omg derren brown i soo amazing did anyone see the bit ant the end 8 day of the 9 month 10 and he finished a 11:12 omg that freaked me out
Not 100% convinced that this wasn’t staged,
OMG that was amazing!!
what a guy Derren is, he has changed that guys life now it was amazing to watch the changes in that mans life in such a short time
Derren is actualy a genius!
Great show! And to finish the show at 8 9 10 11 12 ……. Great thinking! Look forward to more of the same creative genius!
Totally taking my fictional project seriously now.
Cheers.
I just loved it, Derren. Was such an inspirational programme to watch. I confess to having tears in my eyes at the end. I really felt what Matt had gone through and the courage it must have taken to do what he really thought he was doing when he landed that plane. It’s just remarkable what we CAN do as humans when we’re put in certain situations.
You seemed thoroughly emotional at the end Derren, and I can see how much it meant to yourself as well as Matt that he came through. I was watching it with a big smile and a small tear.
Congratulations on a marvellous piece of television that I shall think of and remember for a while to come.

Just saw the show and was truely amazed by it. I would really love to meet derren. Of all the people in the world no one intrigues me as much. His abilities amaze me and the qualitys he brings out in people. I’d be very intrieged what he would think of me as a person if he met me. The human brain is so complex and magnificent that it truely amazes me.
without a shadow of doubt, the most remarkable, most entertaining and most inspirational 75mins of my life.
absoultely brilliant in every way, shape and form. mr derren brown, from the idea and concept through to the manner in which the actors and actresses portrayed themselves, it was perfection. it’s refreshing to see someone (derren brown) with such genial qualities using them to make people better in this world where we should be advancing. i hope all viewers of this show came away feeling uplifted and grateful that we have the precious gift of life in which we can all do something remarkable.
thank you derren brown, i will be recommending that everyone i know watch this show and now i can say that if i ever had the chance to meet a celebrity, it would be you.
I cannot believe this was done……..its madness!! but very good madness! The thing is though, it was a real ‘fly on the wall’ type experiment was it, i mean, the guy was already having regular contact with Derren and thought he was going to be on a game show….and he had that whole straight jacket experience too….i think somewhere in his mind, he knew it wasnt real, he knew it was a test. You could see it. I’d like to think im quite a good person and would always help out in a situation if i could….but you wouldnt catch me flying a plane…..even if a stranger DID leave me a van full of party gear…..NO WAY…..not in this day and age!
Derren, absolutely amazing show, seriously, it was intruiging, entertaining, tuching and such a great watch. I’m already in anticipation for next month’s adventure and I’m sure it’ll be great. Only thing is I live in Ireland so my chances of getting on your show are nearly zero. I’m content watching for now
Wow! Truly inspiring stuff!! I’ve been interested in hypnosis and persuasion techniques for quite a while, but never had the confidence to believe that I could use them. Tonight’s show is proof positive that they can work. I now intend to experiment with them and try them out as often as I can.
The theme of “One life, live it now” is awesomely empowering, I feel like taking risks!!
Incredible show, so compelling, left me feeling both inspired and emotional. Everything I see Derren do keeps me utterly gripped, where do I sign up Derren I could do with an injection of motivation in my life.
Very very impressive.. and so relevant to many many people these days. You were absolutely right that his journey will have inspired lots of people..
I am a sixth from tutor in a school – and am really hopeful that tomorrow morning they will be discussing it as it is so relevant to them as they try and fail to make decisive decisions about thier future.. many are paralysed by fear of a wrong choice and so don’t choose..
On a seperate issue.. it is actually perfectly possible for random joe blogs to land a plane under instruction from ATC. the US tv show “mythbusters” prooved it in a very simular expt a few years back..
http://mythbustersresults.com/episode94
Good stuff, especially as I knew matt was genuine, due to being stood with him in the queue at the first selection meeting in July.
God help you if I’m next on your list Mr Brown
Will there be a follow up to see how much Matt’s life has changed? The only reason I ask is to see if “suggestion” did more than “choice”.
Hi Derren and Team, Absolute class! Had tears rolling down my face. Awesome!!!
Derren, you sweetheart!
That was such a moving programme! (For an atheist, you were sounding almost gospel in places.) This is going to make me sound like a complete weirdo, I know, but whichever member of the team happens to read this, tell Derren ‘Blessed Be’…and that he’s lovely!
What an incredible show. It moved me to tears and has changed my life in the process. Thanks Derren.
Do you think this would have worked if it had been someone who was married and has children?
After all, it’s easier for a single person with few ties to make such life changing decisions.
For those of us with both financial and parental responsiblities you can’t do those things without putting it all on the line.
For example, I’d love to be an actor, rather than do what I do.
However, I can’t just decide to go and drop my current job or I’d lose house, wife and kids.
I’m guessing it was his intention to inspire people to live their lives to the full and it totally worked, for me at least. Like derren said – to many of us just let’s our lives pass us by and we forget what wonderful opportunities we’re offered every day. Thank you so much, Derren for giving me the motivation to get up and make something of my life… Also thanks for giving me a possible fear of flying…
Hey Simon! If you wanted to be an actor you would be an actor. I’m sure there are local drama groups that do plays and stuff at weekends and evenings. Its a bit like when you meet someone how says they want to be a writer. What have you written? Nothing. Then you dont want to be a writer. You dont have to give up your wife, kids and house to be an actor, it ridicoulous. Almost as ridicolous as using it as an excuse not to do something so you can blame them when your old and bitter about your life. Just get off you ass in the evenings and do it, instead of watching TV.
fantastic piece of television this is why mr derren brown is my idol i thank you well done matt also
@Simon
It may be that becoming an actor would be difficult, but that’s besides the point. Look at the courses of action he chose. Take the inspiring talk to the van driver and party – out of an ordinary situation of talking to a van driver he threw a party for his street. All the preconceptions of not wanting to step out of the acceptable norm shackle us, but he chose to knock on strangers’ doors to invite them to a party. I’m not saying leave your wife and kids to become an actor, but how about acting classes, applying for parts as an extra, auditions, sending your cv to agents, doing some writing of your own. Have these been done? Do all actors start off with that as their full time job or as a bit on the side whilst getting by how they can? In the words of Nike ‘Just do it.’
I’ve watched many shows by Derren and been intrigued, mystified and astounded by some of the things I’ve seen, but this show (
Hero at 30,000 Feet) stands out above all the rest by a mile, because it moved me as well as all of the above. There was something we could all learn, I suspect, from watching another’s progress from ordinary to hero. Congratulations, Mr Brown, on using your talents in such a creatively entertaining and inspiring way. It was Brilliant!
@Ayden
Your comment beat me to it! I spent too much time thinking of a witty replyand not writing!!!
Lesson learnt.
This was silly…. the government/police would never have let that plane in the air!
hmm. I preferred the investigates. Seemed more real. More of that please.
OMG Derren once again U’ve left me amazed Truly I’m still in shock Exciting the whole way through. My son stayed up to watch it we are huge fans he was bittin his nails throughout (the train track really did it for him). I would just like to say TANX for been an inspiration to all those who believe anything is possible
Oooh BTW out of all the 300,000 sperm U were the one that made it through U R the Miricale and Thank U for making us part of Ur life and Journey 
Finn
Xxoxoxo
Can’t WAIT for the next Event X
Avril Nolan … I have met him and seen his live shows… And I have to say this gentle-man is a lovely person inside and out
Derren your shows inspire me. I would give anything for you to show me what I have inside me. I just can’t seem to release my own energy inside! I would love to be a candidate for your show! You have an incredible talent. Well done Mr Brown. Top notch!
08/09/10 11:12 Derren Brown, the greatest showman on Earth
Susan, pretty suprising that an investigation seems more real than making someone believe that they are piloting a 747 and imagine that they are dreaming when they are in fact talking to someone in ther back garden.
Amazing! If i really tell my subconscience that i Will marry Derren Brown, will it happen? Whatever happened to the girl that pressed the button on the little kitten cage?
Rhona, you would need a sex change first. Unless you are already a man, LOL. I know where you’re coming from though! *wink*
Susan I don’t think it gets more real than this. *scratches head*
John Salis – well, I’ll just roll my eyeballs at that comment.
Seen Derren live and everything he does is totally real, although at the same time it is very hard to believe what is happening before your very eyes. Mind boggling.
Bloody excellent Derren, can’t wait for the next one. Whoooop!
I can’t buy into this. I’m an Airline Pilot for a living and can say the timing between landing that aircraft and getting to the simulator hall where those simulators are base is a long stretch. The cabin crew in the shots had time to change clothes, as did Derron. The sim cued up etc. I just can’t buy into it. In reality such a transfer from aircraft to car/van/taxi to where the sims is would require the guy to be tranqualised no hypnotised due to the length of journey and disruption. There were a lot of techincal bluffs too not to mention the already stated fact of day turning into night. For example. If you were asked to lower the landing gear I doubt you’d respond “the one with DN ?” You’d not even know where to look let alone find and read the annotation below the gear lever.
Inspirational maybe – but I am a doubter – the girlfriend was too gorgeous, the pen and paper for 2 hours scribbling appeared from no where, and a £400 mobile phone! Did he get it back after the robbery then?- he was using one at some point later on. I wasnt conviced a guy like ‘Matt’ would actually enter the police officer’s ‘home’ – and not wonder about an alarm system. I suspect he was seen (placed) at auditions because they filmed the auditions for the live show to look convincing.
It was good tv though – for sure.
Sorry for the typing errors. My very slow connection seems to make the cursor stick. Very annoying. I should add though that I admire the message of this show and it can only stand for a good thing if people draw postives out of it.
Wow is there anything you can’t do, loved the show this evening!!
Your best project yet!!!!
Can’t wait for your next stage show in Birmingham
xxx
I thought the most amazing part of this was the robbery at the petrol station.
Something like that would seriously kickstart anyones head.
It did get me thinking though, how would things have transpired if after realising he only has one life to make a difference, he decided to face his fears and admit to being gay or wanting a sex change or having repressed memories of childhood abuse or something totally unexpected?
How would Derren have neatly woven that into the show?
It just didn’t ring true. Who would throw a street party with that stuff? Weird reaction. Why would you volunteer to fly the plane, when there are staff on the plane who could bring the plane in, as well as any member of the public? It may well have happened as he said, but it was too odd to ring true.
And I’m a huge Derren fan.
can you tell me when its going to be repeated as i missed it due to work and am desperate to see it.
thanks
keren
Great show! Unfortunately (being Dutch) I have to depend on Youtube, but my favourite uploader did a great (and furiously fast) job and I have just been able to watch it.
Very well-done and hopefully seriously life-changing for Matt.
Looking forward to more!!
Derren, have you been communicating with my wife subliminally?
She didn’t even watch the programme, but this morning was trying to tell me that we need to take opportunities etc. Now she’s turned on the waterworks too, all over me saying no to paying £600 to take the kids to Euro Disney. She thinks she can manipulate as well as you do, though I call her version emotional blackmail!
Oh, and Matt was never really in any sort of danger with either the croc or the train.
The train would have stopped…… In fact, it would have been funny if Matt had turned to Derren and said, nah, I know you wouldn’t put my life at risk. I’ll just lay here for a laugh and let the train stop a couple of inches away.
Loved it!
“Alan Slater says:
…… I just can’t seem to release my own energy inside! ”
That’s right. It’s important that you can not seem. Choosing to not seem is an appropriate response to many circumstances. What other choices will you choose?
I never thought Matt or his family were actors but I did feel some parts of the filming seemed staged and not all Matt’s reactions to situations seemed realistic. Was there any re-shooting done after the fact just for greater clarity/prettier pictures?
With my scepticism on that aside I totally bought into the flight situation and was on the edge of my seat willing Matt to stand up. Was welling up like a good ‘un by the end.
Very interested to hear more from Derren and the crew as to how it was all carried out and also from Matt and his family to get their persepctive on it and also find out how Matt is doing now.
A fantastic piece of television, that was exciting, thought provoking, emotional. Whether you believe it happened or not, whether you picked out continuity errors or not, whether your doubtful or not, whether you think it was staged or not, I believe evryone who watched that programme had an experience of some kind, and an emotional response both positive and/or doubtful, but for me personally I loved every minute. For me it was a personal experience, I felt excited, tense, uplifted, inspired and truly an eye opener to how some pwople live their lives. At the end of the programme when mentioning that someone elses life will change, my friend said to me , “Is he making another series?” I just thought what can change in my life in thirty days, and how can I do it. Fantastic!
I love Derren Brown’s work but this didnt do it for me. Letting yourself into somebody elses house? Surely the right decision was to post the items through the letter box? I mean thats what I would have done, a mundane choice maybe but surely the most appropriate? And how could the lads Mother really feel her sons new found warmth towards her was genuine when she knew it was all part of the conditioning process in lead up to the main event? I think what would be really interesting is to catch up with Matt in 6 months time and see whether the expereince has genuinely changed him as a person. Regardless, of the many questions (and possible doubts) I’m still a huge fan and would love to see his live shows. I’m a skeptic at heart and would love to be challenged!
Miracle? ha, Derren Brown doesn’t believe in miracles, it’s all mathamatical probability etc.
I believe the wizard still has something up his sleeve………………….
@Yasmin “Magic, Misdirection, Psychology and Showmanship” is the answer to your question. You gotta dig deep to understand this and most of Derren’s work. He makes it happen but how is what you keep asking until you understand how without thinking “it was setup” or “the person was a stooge” as thinking any of those two things is wrong. Well you could say setup is partially correct if you think in terms of Derren made it all happen which means there was a setup behind it but not that kind of setup that says Derren just told him what to do.
You’ve also got to understand that Derren puts himself in front of millions/billions of people to show off “Magic, Suggestion, Misdirection, Psychology and Showmanship” so there’s no reason for him to make it fake when that’s what he sets out to do.
Awesome show, definitely the best one Derrens done so far.
The way Derren talks to the subconcious, or what I like to call the ‘Habitual’ mind, should inspire us all to change the way we talk to ourselves so that we can harness the power the mind holds – instead of just letting our egotistical, concious mind lead the way.
Did anyone spot the contenuity mistake though? Not sure whether it was intentional or not – you never know with Derren. But in the scene where Derren takes Matt to that field with the crocodile, there’s one shot where Derren’s talking and it’s lashing down with rain, he’s drench, but when it cuts to Matt there’s no rain and he’s bone dry. They then both walk away and are both dry! Hmmm?
A brilliant show.
So great to see a show full of positivity, and what we can all achieve with the right mind frame.
Again shows Darren not just as a great showman, but someone who can really inspire people.
Derren you’re awesome. I was wowed by the Enigma show. Loved lots of your other programmes. That thing with the zombie computer game – amazing! But , taking someone’s tie off without them noticing is still more impressive than your big projects in my humble opinion. And last night was boring. Please don’t turn into that guy who stood in a box and a plinth for a month or whatever. Its not that clever and it makes him look like a dick.
Thanks,
Amy x
Had watery eyes last night, I really liked Matt. Perhaps the next step would be to rid the beads from him as way of showing who is really in control. And did Derren have a very handy knife for the train trick just in case or were ten people filmed? Also wonder if the journey between one cockpit and the other from night to day was to enhance the dream like state from earlier on. Felt like I could achieve anything in 30 days but I will need to re-watch it every now and then. This is going to be another great DVD boxset. The new store should have a Derren doll in a jack-in-the box. (The Game is a great film, as is 30 Days and 30 Nights) And to think that someonne’s life is getting f****d with by Derren right now. Haha.
@B Markham : Have you seen the show where he knocks the guy out and takes him to another country?
To all the doubters: James Randi had a formula for how many people can safely keep a secret, it’s three, as long as two of them are dead.
If this wasn’t all it looked like then one of the many hundreds of people involved would be on the telly talking about it. There was a hangerfull of people, not to mention back-stage crew and camera and lighting operators, can you imagine a) how much it would cost to pay them off and b) how much a newpaper would pay to bring Derren down?
If you can’t keep the Stig quiet, I doubt you could can that lot.
I want to believe, I really do, but I just can’t – my life was happier and easier when I was less of a cynic, but now I am just sad and broken.
As usual I thoroughly enjoyed the show! Having seen Derren live and having the pleasure of meeting him briefly, I’m pretty sure this wasn’t all just a setup and faked. Biased maybe, being the fan I am but I know how disappointed I would be if I found out that it was all a total sham! I hope that Derren would not do that to his fan base. I think there is always going to be some artistic licence, after all he is an illusionist and showman so to be fair I think it’s to be expected. Certainly pushed some boundaries last night. I for one thought it was very entertaining. Keep it up Derren! I look forward to your next production. 10/10
So let’s get this straight. Derren encourages a bloke to break into a house and, later on, steal a van full of party supplies? And this is inspirational?
I lost interest about halfway through and only kept with it because I’ve enjoyed most of Derren’s previous televisual output and was hoping for some unique twist (which didn’t happen, depressingly enough).
I want to see the follow up in six months’ time. Just how has Matt changed his life?
Derren Brown is an absolute legend! A national treasure. An amazing man. A genius at the very least. I laughed, i cryed, i am inspired! Bravo, well done and kudos. Absolutely flabberghasted. I love everything he does, what a guy!
I may well be his biggest fan!?
WOW. Im still reeling.
Pen x
That still leaves the other irregularities. A lot of them in the simulator. He was asked to press the auto throttle button on the side of the thrust levers. He was told it was marked “auto throttle” . (it’s marked A/T actually). This would actually disconnect the auto thrust. He was also told to disconnect the auto pilot. You could hear the klaxon go off when pressed it. These are the last things you’d want in such a situation. The aircraft would very quickly depart from it’s flight path if you did not know how to hand fly it yet somehow he found himself sliding down the approach.
Also when he was tied into a straight jacket on the (heritage line?!) railway. He seemed rather non plussed that he couldn’t get out of the thing. I’d be saying “stuff this mate!” and wriggle off the line!
Henry re-watch the show and while doing so take a while to think about what Derren says he stands for. Then take a deep analysis of how that all works. You’ll see there is no need to be cynical and more reason to be impressed with Derren’s understanding of human behaviour and how he can use that knowledge to control a person actions. Do it so you can un-become a cynic and re-become that person who admires the wonderous Derren Brown.
For the record, my friend’s brother knew Matt’s girlfriend several years ago, she was certainly not an actress, just a sweet girl from Leeds. Then if you were to add Matt on Facebook i’m sure you would see that all his family and friends for the show were indeed his real family and friends. Do you think Derren was lucky enough to find a full family (and girlfriend) of actors? It just doesn’t happen.
If you don’t believe in suggestion, hypnosis and the like, then i’m not sure why you’re on this site in the first place. I would suggest the Daily Mail’s website instead.
Cheer up Henry,
If it’s more comfortable believing the whole thing was faked maybe you already know you are capable of more
We’d be stupid to believe everything without question but equally we shouldn’t refuse to accept anything we can’t explain or do ourselves. Having an open mind doesn’t make you a sucker.
There are many things science is yet to explain or even discover, surely you could see from the show that believing in yourself and just trying to succeed has it’s own rewards.
Surely it’s better to try than to give up, no matter what your cynical friends say.
Try giving yourself a break, set yourself free from the comfort of a world without possibilities.
Try living dangerously !
just read a few of the comments from last nights show – some people just haven’t understood how good and what a rare piece of tv it was. some people have missed the point all together – it wasn’t what matt did wrong in the cockpit – he isn’t a pilot – matt in his mind over came trememdous fear and put his self in the position of responsibility for hundreds of lives.
derren hit the nail on the head – we go through life wanting to change and do great things but are too scared to live up to the responsibility of making these decisions – the show was about just going for it – make mistakes -learn by them – make the decisions /steps to go where you want to go – nice one derren – brilliant as ever
Let me clarify – I no longer believe in MYSELF
I once lived a much more daring life, but now I find myself weighed down with cynicism, parental responsibilities, severe financial hardship and other personal issues.
I’m sure that I of all people could do with a healthy injection of self-belief, and I do believe in the power of the mind and positive thinking, but the truth is that every day I am trodden down by some very harsh realities that I live with constantly with no support.
In the past have tried some retraining in the form of Paul McKenna’s “Change your life…” books and CD’s – but how can I affect change in myself when my nearest associates have no belief and constantly weigh me down?
I want to change – I want a better life for my partner and my children – I want to believe
Loved it Derren ! watched this last night and thought it was fantastic, you really changed that guys life…Damn i really want to see you live again now

i.e. We are what we do. Do something different, don’t blame.
Try with a good attitude to make improvements and don’t give up. We are successful simply by not giving up, not seeing setbacks as failure, but the giving up as the failure. We’re all genuinely sorry to hear you feel life is hard and people bring you down but giving up made it easy for others to do this and for you to be failure.
Try Just one little step at a time, hope to improve your situation and try to do it for yourself, self respect will follow and you’ll feel better.
Many people would be jealous of you, what kind of Dad you are is your choice;)
Whether a random comment on the broad sprawl of the internet really matters or not I don’t know, what I do know is that I am choosing to believe in myself again.
My confession is that on broadcast night I did not see the whole show – let me explain – I wanted to watch it all but in the company of a naysayer I did not have the confidence to stand up and be counted, I only saw it from the end of the straightjacket sequence when my companion went elsewhere, and even then I was moved by Matt, because I know how personal transformation can work… my previous comments were based solely on having already given up on myself, thinking I’d thrown my chances away…
Well I rewatched the show alone, I trust Derren, I always have, I apologise if my original ‘I want to believe’ was misleading.
So not only do I want to believe, but now I CHOOSE to believe.
Thank you Derren, thank you all.
Great stuff Henry, Good man.
I think it’s fantastic you chose to watch it with an open mind and felt the benefit immediately.
It’s not essential to change your associates outlook on life and it’s great if you can stop being affected by them.
Give them plenty of time to adjust their perceptions and don’t try too hard to convince them – shrug off the old BS
Lead by example.
Carry on making the right choices, we make our own luck.
All the best.
