When it all comes down to it, it all comes down to you. I came across a couple of funny, but true quotes. The first said, “Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes, I need expert advice.” The other was credited to Maya Angelou and says simply, “I got my own back.”
Although, none of us are the Lone Ranger, the truths in these two statements are undeniable. If you do not believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to believe in you? At some point, you have to pack your own chute. Don’t be afraid to stand on your own, to stand alone if necessary. Don’t back up from what you know to be true, especially about you.
Confidence buffered with compassion is a powerful force. As Polonius said in “Hamlet”, “To thine own self be true…” Know well your strengths and weaknesses. In so doing you will be a help to yourself and to others. We need your talents and your gifts in the making of more “faithful men”.
