On the weekend I had 2 birthday parties to go to, both were very enjoyable but there was one that really hit me. Many things happened at the party but the thing that hit me most was a talk ALL the guests had with me.
I have this habit of putting myself down and not thinking I am good enough, does not matter what it is, be it work or cleaning, my crafts anything, I am not good enough. So after getting hammered by a few people on Saturday I thought bugger it and I have applied for a team leader job, the worst that can happen is I am told no and then I go back and hide under my rock and tell all the people at the party "told you so not good enough" see then it all works out fine.

I have been down a lot lately, and not believing some of what people that really care about me say.
I'm not a smart/clever academic person, I have found wisdom it hasn't found me. One of the places I looked for it when I was young and left home was poetry.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
I have more if you want it ;-)
