Believing in yourself!

I recently spoke to a lady who was experiencing great difficulty. Her self esteem was at the bottom, her trust level for mankind was almost none existent. I assured her that the moment she was in was just that, a moment. The difficulty does not last always, but tough people do. In the journey of life I have often had to take the blows of life and keep going. Sometimes we experience the lasting effects of what may have occurred. Life has seasons, some seasons will be fantastic, others will be cold and feel dark almost all the time. This lady gave a person to much authority over her life, her mood and her life decisions. No person should have so much control over another, that you stop believing in yourself. Difficulties come and go.The life that we have is a one time deal. We each are given tools to help others, enhance our growth and along the way hopefully make some genuine friends. Don't ever stop believing in yourself. Enjoy every season, life is a gift.

@TheInvisibleMan, so true! The most powerful gift that we can give sometimes is the one we give to ourselves.

Right! If we won't believe in ourselves, how will others believe us.
