Commanding Your Feelings

So many seem to feel no self-esteem feeling so very down think they're no good confidence so low at various times but there's a way to get one in the mood You can raise yourself up again feed yourself with good thoughts for real talk into your mind, heart and spirit don't cheapen your image turn your wheel Learn not to accept inferiority make sure never give it consent no reason or person can do it lift yourself up and be fully spent Our experiences of life can affect us whether for good or sadly for bad never allow the bad to hold us down hold the good so then to be glad Pin it up on your kitchen wall "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent" be your master give it your seal (" No one can make you feel inferior without your consent") - Eleanor Roosevelt(1884-1962)

Sad to say but this inferior feeling starts from Junior school and unless a very strong character can stay with you always. I had a friend who was like that and we went through high school together but try as I may I could not convince her she was gorgeous, she committed suicide at the age of 26! Great poem Gordon. Hope you are well, Blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Jennifer, so good to hear from you, I hear your summer is really hot, hope you're coping! That's such a sad tale about your friend committing suicide so young it's an increasing problem. We just heard last week about a friend's grandchild tried to commit suicide at 14 years old but was unsuccesful. We are well here just back from week in Scottish highlands which was relaxing and peaceful. Blessings,Gordon
