You are Not as Great, or Good, as You Thought You Were. But that is okay

    You have to believe that you are good enough, because even when you are failing, or falling, or mis-que-ing, (need to look up that word). When others doubt or mistrust or fail you, you have to hang in there. Or then you will really fail. You have to believe that you and the good will work out.

    Religious or not. Otherwise, things can get too hard to withstand. You need some self-belief and some confidence, if not that much in yourself than at least the system. Or systems.

    God, or Jesus, or the spiritual paths to the good are important to many of us. They are crucial. For the secular or more agnostic, we have to have systems and checks that will stay there for us.

    We understand being down and depressed, lonely or feeling lost or abandoned.

    We have to be found, as they say, by whatever means.

    I guess the guy four years older than me who killed himself a few months ago gave up hope. He had issues, that we can all agree to. But we must figure things out better.

    Some say he did not think that people liked him enough.

    Yeah, I get it. Sometimes we can be hard on ourselves in that vain, too.

    But we have to ease up on the scrutiny, do our best, and live for another day.

    Make it through the storms, rains, and mists. The sun and temperate times will come.

    It will be okay.

    Do not hate yourself or others that much, because that formula is a negativity cycle that will not end up well.

    Patience, love, forgiveness, are key, especially to those closest to you, like you and your spouse.

    Love you. Love me. Thanks for doing that.
