"He who undervalues himself is justly undervalued by others." William Hazlitt
As a child growing up my Mom use to say "if you don't like yourself, no one else will". I know this, somewhere deep inside me I KNOW this is true. And I know I like many things about myself. However, I must admit that consciously I have thoughts that continue to thwart this belief with doubt and fear. How does this contradiction exist? This baffles me. That in some regard I have confidence and know I am a good person with significant love for others and a strong desire to serve. But, in the very same space in my mind co-exists the doubt I deserve to have things I desire life.
Each day my intent is to focus on positive aspects in all parts of life. After a few years of this practice I see a change to the positive of settling this in congruent co-existence in my mind. But as usual, I am work in progress.
Now, as I see how others treat me, this can be a measure for me of my own thoughts and feelings of myself what I am projecting and allow this to guide me to where I can work on myself to win this battle.
Any thought you'd like to share?
Love you all,
Jacky
