I have been thinking the last few days about some things. I have a hard time being confident with any of my abilities. As I was cleaning my house today, I came to the realization that I have been blessed with different talents and I should be more confident with them. I have lived most of my life with the little voice in my head telling me why my abilities are insignificant, and why someone else has better talents. I'm so sick of putting myself down! And really, what good does it do? With Cletus (the fetus) coming along, I have decided that I no longer want to live like this. I don't want Cletus to know its mother second guessing herself. And I really don't want to pass this mentality to Cletus.
Have you ever noticed that the people who are confident (not cocky) always seem to draw people to them? They are so comfortable with themselves, that it makes others feel comfortable. And after being around these people, you somehow feel better about yourself too. Since these people are confident in themselves, they point out the positive about others. They lift you up, rather than put you down.
My question is how do you become confident and sure about yourself, without being cocky?
P.S. An update with Cletus, I'm 16 weeks along. My energy is back, and I'm feeling great! We went to the doctor yesterday and everything is good. It took a little while to find the heart beat, which was the longest minute of my life!!! We just feel so blessed with this opportunity to be pregnant!! We find out what we're having on January 15th....and I can't wait!!
