Not Seeing What You See....
When people see me they see so much... Love, Loyalty, Success, Intelligence, Selflessness... These are all the things people have told me about myself over the last couple of days.... If all of these thing are true then why when I look in the mirror I do not see the same? Is it because I am so hard on myself I do not allow the GOOD JOSEPH to outshine the SAD JOSEPH... Today was hard I had a breakdown that was beyond anything I can remember. I want to believe what everyone else sees in me but its so hard when it seems I have nothing to show, but thats just it those things do not require a showing of anything its apart of character. I am trying to intertwine physical things with mental things and you just cannot do that. I know I know, be patient I was told today but patience is so hard it really is. Patience has always been of my weak points but when I was patient good things always came to me.. My first test of patience came in high school when I tried out for drum major and it took like 2 weeks for results to come out.. GEEZ I never thought I had made it but two weeks later I was given the go ahead. I was a drum major for the BLUE WAVE. So why do I worry so much? I am going to look in the mirror after this blog recite what others see in me and recite them every morning.. Reciting over and over becomes habit which becomes belief. From now on I am going to see what others see.

From the outside looking in people truly see all those things, but we as humans are always our own toughest critics. When we evaluate ourselves from our own perspective we tend to overlook attributes and focus on the things we think need fixing. It's good to take inventory of your qualities as well though. I think your repetition idea is a good thing to do. Sometimes you just need to take a moment to remind yourself of who you truly are and not be so critical. Everything is fine, you will be a Classic...in fact, you already are!
