Ever wonder why some folks get ahead and others do not? They have learned one simple rule. Believe in yourself and do your work. Also, they have figured out they must do their job and not someone else’s. This sounds like lip service, and yet it is the basis of a great truth.
If you cannot believe in yourself, who will? You probably know yourself better than anyone else would. You are the one who can honestly stand up for yourself and make your case. Only you know your true intentions, and it’s up to you to forgive yourself when you don’t hit the mark. Kindness is a beautiful asset, and if you’re going to be kind, start with yourself.
There are plenty of people out there who will not give you the benefit of the doubt. Some people will be cantankerous and downright mean about things. And some others will be very kind and understanding. Your question for today is, how are you going to handle the person in the mirror.
You should make that person in the mirror accountable and expect the best from them. You should also understand that not every well-meaning adventure goes as smoothly as it should. Quite often, we have to remember that no good deed ever goes unpunished. You can expect from anyone only their best. Why would you ask more of yourself?
Do your best. Give yourself a break when needed. And remember, there is always tomorrow.
Thank you for being with me today. I hope to be with you again tomorrow.
