Finding the good within us

I was sitting here today working with someone and we are taking an inventory of what to change about ourselves, and what we want to keep.

Because we all have good stuff within us-yes we do. You do. I do. Certainly the individual I was working with does.

How often we forget that.

It seems we are all on a vigilant mission of self-improvement.

That, in itself, is not a bad thing.

There is always room for growth.

But, please, remember that every single day, you do good things

You have many awesome qualities. Right?

I can list 35 right now and I bet you can own quite a few.

For instance, you may:

1. Be a good parent, child or sibling
2. Be loving & kind
3. Be responsible
4. Volunteer
5. Be forgiving
6. Do errands for others
7. Be a good pet owner

Here’s to embracing the good within ourselves!
