“My mantra is, ‘I have to change the way I think in order to change the way I feel.’” Robin Roberts
The fact that I was the last person I knew to get a microwave, an answering machine, and I still don’t use the DVR, can sometimes make me feel like a Luddite. When we upgraded our WiFi, I procrastinated installing it only to discover it was plug-and-play. Recently I gave in and set up a wireless speaker linking it to my phone, and was shocked at how easy it turned out to be.
I suppose it’s time to stop thinking disparaging thoughts about my abilities – even though I choose not to use a DVR - and admit what I know. I need to be encouraging toward myself in the same way I encourage others: ‘We all excel at something,’ I tell them. Is there a skill set where you don’t care to be the expert? Do you find you are harder on yourself than on others? How will you cut yourself some slack and give yourself positive affirmations? Lord, thank You for making me an individual with a unique combination of skills and abilities, so I have no room to compare myself to others. Amen “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:14
