Doubting Yourself

Life does have it's ups and downs. Try as we can, not every venture we undertake will be successful. Although we can certainly learn from our failures, we don't always view them as learning experiences. We can begin to doubt ourselves, and hesitant to try again. So, I really appreciate the beautiful poem from Janet A. Sullivan, that follows.

Don't Ever Doubt Yourself

You have so much to offer, so much to give,

and so much you deserve to receive in return.

Don't ever doubt that.

Know yourself and all of your fine qualities.

Rejoice in all your marvelous strengths of mind and body.

Be glad for the virtues that are yours, and pat yourself on

the back for all your many admirable achievements.

Keep positive.

Concentrate on that which makes you happy,

and build yourself up.

Stay nimble of heart, happy of thought,

healthy of mind, and well in being.
