Acknowledge Yourself

This one is just for you! We spend an incredible amount of time thinking about how we're not good enough, how no one really understands us, and perhaps fewer care about us than we deserve.  We beat ourselves up over all the mistakes we've made in our lives, and basically just look for every excuse under the sun to make ourselves feel bad, inferior and inadequate.

Well, it's time to stop all that nonsense!  After all, is it getting you where you want to go? Of course it's not!

It's time to acknowledge yourself now and give yourself a pat on the back for all the good stuff you've done, all the great qualities, skills and talents you possess.  You are unique.  No one else on this earth has the same history, viewpoint, thoughts, beliefs, values, outlook and take on the world as you do.  And you are here for a reason.  You might want to spend some time thinking about that one!

For the moment though, I have a request to make of you.  And it's for your highest good!  Write down no less than 10 things about yourself that are great.  Great things about you, great things you've done, ways you helped others in the past - doesn't matter what it is as long as it's something about you that's positive.  Write those 10 things down and then read them back to yourself.  And when you've done that, please add them to the comments on this post, and begin to share your unique greatness with the world!

Don't let me down here! Don't let yourself down! Do this exercise and add your comments.  It'll make you feel better!
