I find myself thinking about the concept of investing in yourself as we are working on improving our fitness in our Get Fit class. Investing time and energy into improving your fitness takes courage - you have to work hard and believe in yourself. We just watched the Dove True Beauty sketches in class, where women judged their own appearances very harshly - people who they had just met described their appearance in much more flattering terms. I think that the same thing happens for many of us when we consider our physical abilities - we judge ourselves too harshly. Sometimes others can see your potential more clearly than you can.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? - Marianne Williamson
How about changing your mindset and investing some time and energy into yourself? Maybe it will help you see yourself in a different way. Maybe you will find that you are worth the effort.
