Something Special in Everyone

We spend so much time bashing ourselves for what we are doing wrong.  Take a minute.  What makes you a good person?  What makes you special?  What are you good at?  We all need to do this, so I am going to try and post this everyday.  Some of us already know... Some of us are struggling with a low self-esteem.  Look deep within yourself... There is SOMETHING good about everyone.  If you are struggling with this issue, make an effort to do this.  Start with something simple, like you are a good listener or you have the ability to keep trying.  The more you work at it, the more things you will find. 
It is okay to toot your own horn every once in a while.    Let everyone know how good you are.

God made me.

I look for the best in people.

I am a good friend.

I know how to admit that I am not perfect.

Kim, I understand the spirit in which you intend the post, but to be honest with you - I'm feeling pretty down on myself today and the only nice thing I can say...

I'm a wonderful wife, married to a phenomonal man.  Blessed to be there!

I know for a fact that you are a person with a good heart.  I haven't met you on a personal level, but I have seen your posts.  You are a caring person, and that makes you special to a lot of us on here. 

You know, sometimes that is all that we can say.  Let me tell you, being a wonderful wife IS something special.  Some of us have tried to be a good spouse, but it ends in divorce. 

One of the reasons that I post this, is because I BELIEVE there are some positive people on the TMB.  I do not know you personally, but someone on here knows about you.  My hope is that others can help tell you what they see special about you if they read the post. 

The whole reason that I posted this on here is because I was struggling with the same thing.  When I looked in the mirror, I did not see anything good.  Since I have been searching to find some good in myself, more has come into my view.  My attitude has changed, and others can see it.  I used to be a hermit that didn't think I was special enough to have friends.  I have friends now.

I can tell you from experience, that you think yourself into who you are.  If I want to think I am a shy, insignificant failure, I will be.  I have to believe that there is something good about myself before others do.  I realized that God doesn't make junk, and that is why I started looking for the good in me.

I made this a public post because I am well aware of the self-esteem issues a lot of us face.  I even see it in the people that feel free to attack others every chance that they get.  People will make others look bad to make themselves look good.  Many people that struggle with obesity, have these issues.  My only hope is that the people not posting are at least thinking theirselves what makes them a good person.
