I wanted real adventures to happen to myself. But real adventures, I reflected, do not happen to people who remain at home: they must be sought abroad.

Is this where we talk ourselves up and say how good we are and list our good point either real or imagined?

if you want to, Netsie... but if you don't believe in yourself. if you don't really love yourself unconditionnally... you're going to have to learn to.
But know that I love you, Netsuke, for being yourself.
It's not easy.

Last night one of the volunteers at the auction, about 35 ish, at the end of the evening said to me that she wanted to BE me when she grew up. what a wonderful affirmation that I'm doing something right !

when my students said that they wanted to be me, i always told them to "be you" that they could learn from me but i really wanted them to discover who they were

& asked how do you get him to say that
i told her, it's what he feels right now.

If it works for you, that's fine.
Treading carefully I add: I think it be an error to assume universal applicability. E.G. Advising someone cutting themselves up about the benefits of positive thinking.
Crucially I think it be a error to infer from the situation of someone who is in some sense failing in life that it be due to their neglect of affirmative thinking.
I think it be at its worse when it fosters the belief that anyone can be, do, and have anything. The implication being that an unfulfilled ambition is always an avoidable personal failure.
FWIW It would do little and nothing for me, so feel free to disregard my stance without risk of causing offense.

oh, lordy, no! it IS crucial not to play the blame game with positive affirmations. there is such a thing as toxic positivity.

Actually, I recently heard someone mentioning that a sign of loving yourself is that one has taken the time to learn about their own needs. rather basic! However, I think that some people that I know myself have not taken the time to actually dig that shallow into their own needs.
