i was helping a friend on the phone -
and i hung up - trying to sleep some -
i realized this -
sometimes we need to see the evidence ourselves
that we can achieve -
and some times I need to hear it from others -
it is a good measure at times to get both -
to get it sometimes -
and to be able to see it myself -
i thought of a friend who had once said he
was tested and had no acumen for anything -
i knew it could not be true - he was brilliant -
yet i had no resource from which to draw from taht moment-
and now i look back and in the discovery of my
own ability to self appreciate - i can now
see that he could step back and see quite the achievement in his very day to day -
he had rented a beautiful apartment not too far from mine -
no one did that for him - but him -
it was decorated beautifully -
no one did that for him
- he kept it marvelously clean and hopsitabally appointed -
no one did that for him - except him -
his home was always stocked and budgeted with wonderful foods and meals planned - lovely -
lovely cook -
no one had the genius behind this but him -
i did not see a staff lurk away everytime i came over -
he was always put together - taking care -
lovely figure
and lovely hair - very resourceful -
very clear about his vision -
and so on -
so - yet the evidence was clear
in his day to day - that he managed quite well -
in fact much better than many many many -
- sometimes we do need to hear it from others -
and that is ok - and nice -
but also sometimes - like i am now of myself able -
- we need the ability to look around a little
and check in - and count - ok - evidence is -
we kind got good stuff here - and that is a good thing too - and nice to be able to do -
peace -
