Believe In Yourself

When my children were quite young and while I was going through a turbulent time in my life, I had the opportunity to speak with a very wise psychologist.  He was an older Jewish gentleman with a kind voice.  I was unaccustomed to hearing kindness from a man at that point in my life.  My life was being shattered by a nasty divorce.  "If you are okay, then your children will be okay," he said.   It took time for those words to make sense.  First, I had to believe in myself;  I had lost my confidence. I recite those words to others when the appropriate occasion presents itself.  If you are okay, then those around you will be okay.  Take time to find you and believe in yourself.
