We are wonderful, capable human beings worthy of love and happiness. We all have a gift to give the world that can't be duplicated. No one else is exactly like us.

The problem is, we don't believe it. We are used to thinking about all our negative qualities and become expert at putting ourselves down. We have a hard time believing and accepting our own goodness and gifts.

When we have a negative attitude, only one person can change it - us. We have the power to choose to change our thinking - if we want to. It takes a courageous person to risk getting positive and hopeful. Getting sober is evidence enough that we have that courage.

Today let me believe I am better than I know.

15 Days~~

Like Free's tag line says, it's all a matter of your perspective.

Great post, IveyGirl. And congratulations on 15 smoke-free days.

Keep up the great quit! Smile

I learned positive thought from the most wonderful woman I've ever known; my Mother. She lived it until her death at age 95. Having learned by her example, I've tried to teach by example to our children and grandchildren.

Life is so much more fun when you look on the bright side.
