Why are some of us so hard on ourselves at times ?
We call ourselves useless , worthless , inadequate , idiots , stupid , losers , failures , hopeless , and anything else that we can beat ourselves up with. Are we comparing ourselves to people whose lives look so perfect , they have everything going for them. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors . We only see the outside .
The beautiful home , the fancy car , the fun loving family , with many friends , always looking happy . I don't believe it .
Everyone of us here is equally special in our own way .
Everyday you come here you can see how important we all are.
We may tell ourselves that we are some of these untrue things,
But I myself see it differently .
I just see the opposite . It's believing it , that's what can be hard sometimes . We are ALL wonderful people struggling , that doesn't make us worthless , inadequate , idiots , useless , etc.
That makes us human . We ALL struggle .
Be GOOD to yourselves . You are WORTH it.
