Be Proud

"You're Still Here!"

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
"Well Done"

“All that,

and

you’re still standing”

Look in the mirror

and smile

and say:

“Well Done”.

Yes,

you are talking to yourself.

Yes,

You are looking at yourself too.

How do you feel?

We are so used to

encouraging others,

which is a good thing,

that we forget

what we Ourselves have Accomplished.

This is why

it is such a good idea

to have a journal,

and to write down

what you have overcome

in your life.

Write down how you felt

and how you feel

today.

Write in your journal also

what you have ‘personally’ accomplished

and what you have ‘personally’ gone through.

You will surprise yourself

as to what

YOU

have actually done!

And for once,

don’t be ‘modest’ with yourself

but ‘tell the truth’.

Another thought

is that you’ve been through

a very difficult time

and yet,

you are still the same

caring and loving person

you have always been.

You should be Proud of Yourself.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
