We all have life experiences. Each of them helps mold us into the people we become. Some of those experiences are wonderful. We cherish them and hold them dear. We thank God for them with hearts bursting full of gratitude.

Some, however, wear us down and chip at our sagging self-esteem. They help undermine our thinking, cause us to question our worth and sometimes send us running for cover. After a string of such experiences, we often start believing their lies.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

I became a student of healthy self-esteem many years ago, hungrily learning all I could through young adulthood, college, marriage, children and grandchildren. I tried hard to learn (and sometimes re-learn) the many lessons life threw my way. I wasn’t always grateful for the learning process. I’ve made mistakes along the way. But I’ve also had tremendous successes. And throughout the process, I’ve learned to shed harmful thinking errors and embrace the truth about who I am, where I’m headed and why I’m here.

If you were blessed with good parents, people who instilled in you great value, who loved you and made sure you knew it, who taught you to dream and guided you along the way then you were given an amazing gift. Quite possibly the greatest gift you’ll ever receive.

Not everyone is given that foundational and important gift. But there’s good news. You can change. You possess the ability to break the cycle. You can stand up to the lies and decide to live in the truth. No matter where you’ve come from or how you see yourself. No matter what others have told you, or what your family history says you will be.

It can start with you. And I’d like to partner with you in your journey share with you what I’ve learned, and cheer you on as you go. It’s not always going to be easy. But I can tell you for a fact, it IS possible and it IS worth it!

YOU can do it. Why not start today? Pay attention. Watch yourself, like a mouse in your pocket.
