Ahhhh, I just really feel better about what I am doing. . . . life throws things at us that discourage us sometimes, and life builds us up at other times. It's getting through the discouragement and finding ourselves pushing to improve, to become better to counteract the discouragement. Sometimes things that can change my whole outlook can be the smallest things. . . .
I think I am my worst sabatour. I have been noticing it lately and I don't like the way I make myself feel. So how does one tell oneself to shut up! I remember something from school (I don't claim to remember much from school). . but I do remember hearing a teacher or something say "No one can make you feel inferior unless you let them." I am not sure if that is exact, but to that effect. It makes sense though. YOU are the one that tells yourself that you are inferior to another person. I think status is determined by us. A rich man could try to make me feel inferior because he has more money than me, but it is when I believe I am inferior that I feel inferior. No person is more or less important in life than another. Respect is earned, not demanded or entitled. I think every person should be treated with an equal amount of respect, then depending on the person's actions or behaviors, the person can earn more respect or can lose the respect of others.
I am very tired and I am pretty sure this post doesn't really make much sense at all :) What I am trying to say is I believe in me. . . . I see improvement and it is much needed!

Someone once told me that if you want to stop shoot yourself in the foot (or being your own saboteur, as you put it) ask yourself before making your choices if that choice fits with your values. Ever since I was told that - which frankly would have been nice if I'd been told that ten years earlier - I've been surprised at how many times I'm about to make a choice that I don't value.
