Life is hard. People don't give you credit for what you have gone through or going through. The worst is those closest to you are completely immune to how great you really, really are. How special. How clever. How resilient. You totally rock. But you don't know it because no one around tells you that. STOP waiting for anyone to tell you that you are doing a good job. Even if it's just surviving. TELL IT TO YOURSELF. Keep doing it until you are convinced. Brene Brown says if you look for evidence that you don't belong, and that you are not enough, you will always find it. Why not look for evidence that you do belong, and you are smart, and all the times you have cheated death, you have made it through the day. Well done YOU.
