Hey Kitti, I like that you posted the excerpt on belief. As I read it I got to thinking about the person I use to be and have come to realize that my "belief factor" is one of the missing elements I haven't been able to put my finger on. A part of me that I have been looking for.
Prior to my R with H I was totally self-reliant. I fixed my own car, did my own home-repairs and provided my own means of support. I had never encountered ANY difficulties in attaining a job or keeping one... I have always been able to walk into a prospective employer and leave with a new job. That is because I "believed" that I was the best person for the job and sold myslf accordingly, the same can be said of the promotions I received as well...I didn't wait for hthem, I went after them because I "believed" I deserved them.
The same can be said of my pursuits in art and writing...when I believed stongly in myself and my talents I was extremely productive and very successful.
The question is...where did that all go? When did the belief in myself blur and become a need for belief from others? I could blame my illness and have for the most part but what does the illness have to do with my own self-belief? It does limit me but it by know means STOPS me.
Now I am mad at myself for being so DENSE
Thank you Kitti for posting this...I do BELIEVE I needed it.
