    Gideon Faku

    I am a South African writer with a passion for crafting stories that inspire and uplift. Born and raised in South Africa, I honed my writing skills while studying at the University of Cape Town's online high school. Despite facing bullying and trauma during my earlier school years, I found solace in writing. My experiences sparked a desire to help others confront their own traumas and emerge stronger. Through my work, I aim to provide a voice for those who have been silenced and a beacon of hope for those navigating life's challenges. From the confines of my small, stuffy room, I've poured my heart and soul into my writing. My stories are a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience, growth, and transformation. My mission is to inspire readers to confront their fears, heal from their wounds, and unlock their full potential

      The World Outside - Gideon Faku

      I am a new young writer & I started writing this book when I was 15, as a means to help people from my past trauma experiences, which is how this book was born.

      If am not writing in my desk at home, I am constantly having adventures on my own, working on my Film production company, reading, playing video games, going for walks or playing basketball at the park, spending time with my dogs, and most importantly spending time with my family.

I hope you trust it knowing what feels right even when it scares you, and when the voice of fear asks But what if it doesn’t work out? I hope you listen to the voice that responds, But what if it does? I Hope you let go of the fear and all the negative thoughts that you have, I hope whisper of courage rises from the ashes of everything that could’ve broken you but didn’t, that it reminds you of how strong you are and that your spirit irrepressible. That you are brave and capable. That actually, everything you need to follow your heart-led path already exists within you, and I hope that you say yes to your dreams and treat them like they’re the most real, most fragile, truest things to exist, I hope you claim them. That you know that deep within they are already yours. And I hope that you know that you are in control of your mind and thoughts, and stay true to yourself who you are above everything else. I hope that you choose yourself every single day, I hope that you take care of your heart and most lastly I hope that you change the world with your smile but never let the world change your smile

      With love,

      James

      Introduction

      THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

      I used to be bullied by other kids & sometimes by even adults, strangers, people would make fun of how I looked whether that was my skin complexion or the colour of my eyes & all these negative energies that I was exposed to made me a quieter person with a low self-esteem, confidence in myself, and I started having anxiety when I would be around people because of the trauma I mean don’t get me wrong my family life was amazing, I have two loving wonderful parents who always did their best to make sure I had a normal childhood which is filled with joy and love, I have two amazing siblings a younger sister and my older brother, life at home is great, but the chaos that changed me came from the outside world, from people. People that try to put you down, growing up around these people made it almost much difficult to breathe, I felt like the negative chapter of my life would never end because the negativity they poured had an impact that made me become a closed person that had a hard time letting go of the negativity that I was consuming.

      I BECAME TIRED OF LIVING my life in fear of people and negativity, I knew if I continued listening to these thoughts instead of facing them I would become a person I wouldn’t recognize, so I told myself that it was time to change my life & face the trauma and all the negative noise that was in my head.

      This journey definitely was hard, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to overcome the noise

      and have a much healthier positive mind but I kept going, and with much support from my family and friends I walked through it & while in that Journey I had a revelation which made me think to myself If I could overcome this, then maybe other people can too so that’s how the book idea was born, I know that there’s a lot of people struggling out there in the world, and are seeking help but no one is listening but my purpose for this book is to help you guys with my experience & I hope this book becomes the support for you.

      PART 1

      UNDERSTANDING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

      The voice in Your Head

      Negative thoughts about ourselves come in our lives in many different ways, whether it’s from our upbringing, the places we go to, the people we around, our influences, including our parents, and the more we have these negative thoughts our brain starts accumulating that and it keeps it which leads us to believing whatever negative thing we tell to ourselves, funny how the brain works right? We get into these bad habits and thoughts like a comfortable bed, easy to get into but hard to get out of. When we look at ourselves in the mirror instead of telling yourself how great you are and God created wonderful human being.

      We don’t usually like what we see, we’ve let the outside noise consume us which led us to believe we the bar was set to high and we will never get to where we want to be in life which is the best versions of ourselves and not caring about what people say if we would be honest with ourselves we can achieve almost anything we set our mind to, and its true because you reading this right now because you’ve set your mind to believe what the world told you right? Nothing kills you faster than your own mind so you have to learn to not stress over things that are out of your control.

      Now you probably wondering how do I know this, I know this because I’ve gone through it, trying to find success in a new dark age led to many trials and tribulations because of the places I would go to, the closest of people often telling me I’m not enough, I am ugly, I will never make anyone proud, my
