~This quote collided with me this morning~
Worst enemy - ME
What can I do?
Not much.
Who cares about me?
Nobody.
What do I know about...?
Nothing.
I was stupid
I am fat
I am frumpy
I'm a failure
Look at ....
They're so brilliant
They're so successful
They're so beautiful
They're so eloquent
They're life is so put together
STOP
Don't listen to that voice!
You can do it!
Make up your mind
Work hard
Persevere
Good Times - Bad Times
Who cares?
I do!
That's all that matters!
I will succeed!
I have a wealth of knowledge:
I am a writer!
I am a crafter!
I am a teacher!
I am a farmer!
I am an entrepreneur!
Beauty cannot be compared
Different forms
Life Struggles
Compassion
Comfortable
Honesty
Natural
Empathy
Actions
Follow YOUR Dreams!
Don't let Self Doubt Consume your Self Worth!
CONQUER!
Love the quote. I've often found that those who seem to have everything together have struggled we don't see. Life is full of ebbs and flows. Be-you-to-ful. That's what you are.
ReplyDeleteI really am my own worst enemy...
ReplyDeleteIt's tough to shut out negative self talk once it gets started; but I love the way your poem provides encouragement and positivity!!!
Ugh, why do we have that voice inside? I'm sure everyone has one. I certainly do. You were able to overcome it today and write an inspiring piece. I'm so glad you are slicing again...I look forward to reading your beautiful words each day.
ReplyDeleteNone of us have time for that negative voice, yet somehow it creeps into our daily lives. All we need is that "cheerleader" voice that sometimes only whispers to SHOUT out more often! I can help you with that for today, "YOU ARE A VERY STRONG, BEAUTIFUL PERSON, WHO IS FILLED WITH PASSION. YOU ROCKED IT TODAY!!"

ReplyDeleteI am so glad I stumbled on this post today. A message that I needed. Negative self talk creeps in so easily at times. Glad you are strong enough to put it out there and work on banishing it!

ReplyDeleteIt is so true that we are our own worst enemy!! Why is it so easy to be negative then to enjoy the positive and see how great we really are. I can totally relate. Thank you for this slice. Great write..
ReplyDeletePERFECT! I love it. We all have that voice and no one is ever as put together at they look. I love how you structured this piece.
