Taking A Chance

It's funny how much you believe in others, but when it comes time to put your faith in yourself, you hesitate. You encourage others in their pursuits, supporting them in their efforts. You're right there when they falter and need your help. You see their strengths and know that whatever their weaknesses are, they can overcome them. So why are you so blind to all the gifts that are within you. It's as if you don't exist. You can't believe in something that is hidden. How long can you be there for others, if you're unsure of who you are. In order to have enduring strength, you need to start listening to the spirit that is within you. By believing in yourself, you build a strong foundation that will last forever. Take a chance on yourself and you will see how much fuller your life can be. We believe in who you are.
There is more than what you see with your eyes...

(It's easier to help others than it is to help myself. By concentrating on other people, I don't see what a true mess my life has become. Sometimes being distracted is a way to run away from what needs to be attended to. I will soon be down to one again, then what will I do. Take a chance on myself and clean up my act.)
