This is copied from my friend, Jennifer Milne Bickmore. She is a friend from when I lived in California. We never kept in touch when I left, but have become good friends again now with the age of technology (facebook and blogs). Thanks Jennifer! This is so true, I loved it and wanted to remind myself and others the same thing. I was actually talking to a friend on Friday about how some recent happenings in my life have helped me even though it has been confusing. I think I called it "my battle with me" but its my issues and how I view me.
From Jennifer: HOW WE SEE OUR SELVES IS DIFFERENT THAN HOW OTHERS SEE US? Think about that! Time and time again people say the nicest things to me and I sit there and think are you crazy? Because I don't see that at all!!! Or think anything near that about my self! I have thought a lot about that over and over. Especially lately for some reason. And I think ALL my friends near or far are AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, ETC ETC !!
But I know that we all don't usually think the same about our selves! Why is that? For this week I think we all need to give our selves props and look at who we really are and that what others see in us is truly who we are. I think we put our selves down far to often. I know I do all the time. So I challenge you this week to take a look at how amazing, beautiful, talented, awesome, SPECIAL you ALL are!
They may be Jennifer's words, but they are my thoughts too!!
