Day 29 from I Can Do This from lettertomygirlfriends.com

You Are Worth the Effort

How  does one start a climb? Spend your days renewing your vision. Apply everything you do towards your growth.

Do you care for children? Think how that relates to Human Resources or conflict resolution, child psychology, menu planning, personal shopper, accounts payable/receivable. Do you take care of a home? Dinner? How about hospitality, cost effectiveness comparisons, scheduling. I am not suggesting that you go out and apply for these positions. I am just pointing out that you contribute so much to everyday life. If you think about all you contribute you should be amazed and fortified in spirit. You need to see yourself as someone who has a lot to offer. Don’t let the years that you worked in your home make you think less of yourself.

Today there is an underlying contest raging between those who stay home and those who do not.. Guess what people…..It is not a contest! A title does not make you more or less of a person and neither does your pay. I am pretty sure that you know, intuitively, that you are a capable person with lots to offer.

Do what you can to improve your mind at every opportunity, knowing that you are going to need new skills when you enter into your new world.

Watch the news. All the news. Not the left or the right, but both. Keep current. Read. You cannot read too many books. Make yourself informed and interested and interesting and viable to those you meet. Create in yourself, a person who would be interesting to you. Above all else, be good to yourself. Love yourself. Pat yourself on the back every morning for making the effort to change your life. You are worth the effort. No one deserves to live in fear or despondency.

Others will respond positively if you are positive. And if they don’t, you won’t mind. You are your own person at the end of each day. Live accordingly. Do everything you can to your best ability, even when you don’t want to. When you do this you learn to respect yourself. That translates into confidence to all you meet. The I CAN DOattitude is contagious and sought after. It makes you desirable.

No regrets either. You are where you are because you needed to be there. The journey was what it was and is continuing. All of life is a journey. Share your knowledge with everyone you meet. Grow a world of successful, confident women. The reason I am doing this is because I believe that giving success to others by encouragement is in itself success. The end result is success for all. Pull your girlfriends, your daughters, your moms and grandma’s out of dependency with you. Think what the world would look like filled with confident women who raised their families and continued to contribute to the world.

The next post will start the 31 day collection of uplifting and inspirational affirmations. This is where your journey to independence starts. Read one a day. Focus on that one thing. You can’t help but move forward when you give yourself positive reinforcements. I hope this is helpful to all who use it. It is my intention to have as many friends succeed as possible.
