"I Don't Trust Myself"

"I don't trust myself," the lady said to me with sorrow in her voice. "I don't believe I'm capable."

But as we explored why she doesn't trust herself and why she doubted her capability, it turned out to be solely a misbegotten sense of self-perspective. This woman is well liked and highly capable but carried a negative self-image, one she has held since childhood.

How did she begin to correct that negative self-image? By getting more involved with others in need and seeing the difference her helping hand made in their lives. It was the light in their eyes that re lit her image in the mirror of her life to show her who she is today, a marvelous individual and one who is loved by many.
