Build Yourself Up/Something Special in Everyone

Okay.. I am going to post THIS and my Something Special post together today because I feel they go hand in hand. 

I don't know if anybody knows the Gospel singer Albert Jamison, but I love this song.  The lyrics are basic.

Show Yourself Mighty.
Show Yourself Strong.
Show Yourself Awesome
In the Midst of the Storm.

In times of Trouble,
He will Give Us a Song.
Show Yourself Mighty.
Show Yourself Strong.


Here is the point.... If you are feeling weak and discouraged, encourage yourself.  Just because you are having a bad day, that doesn't mean that you should present yourself as if you are.  I heard once that on your worst day, you should wear your best suit.  Sometimes you have to fake a smile... but fake it.  The more that you present yourself in a positive manner, the better that you will feel. 

Sometimes there is nobody to pick yourself up but you.  I have to make the choice each day to do that.  I speak as if I am strong, even when I am not feeling it.  I do that because I KNOW that I am not going to bet better when I am feeling down on myself.  If I don't care, nobody else will either.

  Take a minute.  What makes you a good person?  What makes you special?  What are you good at? 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.  Have a good Hump Day.

I am special because I go above and beyond for others.

I am a good listener.

I am trustworthy.

I am a good mother.

I can admit that I am not perfect.

I look for the positive in live, and try not to focus on the negative.

One of the things I've discovered is I feel better when I dress better. For years I've had to wear baggie clothes...elastic waist pants/shorts, big shirts to get around my belly, etc. I looked horrible and felt that way. I only put on 'good' clothes if I was going out in public....why bother around home? Now that I can wear more stylish clothes I catch myself getting dressed in the morning as if I have somewhere to go! It makes me feel good to know I look good, even if it is just to myself!

So this is one way I present myself in a positive note....and it really does work! I find during the day the negative nellies don't stick to me because I know I'm better than that.

Funny how the mind can work, huh?

 I am special because I am a stubborne, strong willed person.  LOL  I don't give up on anything that I want with all my heart.    I am a hard worker and I am willing to go that extra mile for anyone that needs it.    I am a good cook, great wife and mother.    I love to encourage others in need and give support if I can.   I am a good friend.....trustworthy person.......honest.......and I when I love someone I love them with all my heart.
