I don't believe it...

The whole believing in yourself is so important that I thought I'd part deux it.


Sometimes, you just don't believe in yourself, it's something that you've gotta constantly work at.  I struggle with it everyday.  I'm trying to really work on it.  


There's the mantra's, the affirmations, the victory logs - all kinds of tools to help you find the inner voice to find that belief but even sometimes those things aren't enough.


Jack says, "It's often easier to have someone else believe in you first."


I cannot tell you how many times and how many people have helped me by believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.  


I'm  a writer and I firmly believe that I'm still writing thanks to people like Amy and Angela.  When I thought to give up, or didn't think I was all that good - these were friends that would "out of the blue" compliment something I'd had written or ask my what I was working on or I'd overhear them praising my work to someone else.  It was like the universe conspiring to find a way to get me back on some sort of belief track.  And I'm not even sure they know how much that kind of belief in me means to me... it means a ton - I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be where I am now without a ton of people believing in me along the way.


So, I guess my last word on this is, if you are struggling with the whole belief thing - look around I bet you can find a whole lot of people who believe in you.  Maybe, just maybe, that's all you'll need to start to once again believe in yourself.
