“If you need something to believe in
— start with yourself.”
We live in a world
which can be negative and filled with uncertainties,
and the most powerful way we can help ourselves
to ‘live’ in this world
is by “believing in ourselves.”
Every day we are alive
is a new day
which offers new opportunities
for us to grow and to develop
new skills to help us
move forwards towards our ‘dream life’.
When we acknowledge our own abilities,
as well as our limitations,
we are laying a solid foundation
for self-confidence.
All of this strengthens our mindset
so that we will also
believe in the future.
Believing in ourselves
inspires others to believe in themselves,
especially when they see
how happy we are.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Cassie and Johnny
I’m the kind of dame you notice. I’m no femme fatale, but you can’t ignore me, at least not until I warn you about what’s coming, then everybody ignores me. Hell, they usually blame me afterwards and give Johnny all the credit for saving the day, but my Johnny couldn’t save a seat at the movies without my help. Sure, he’s brawny, but brainy? Not so much. Like that time I asked him to spot me five bucks, and he said he didn’t see it anywhere on me, and believe you me, he looked but good.

Such a beautiful poem, with a beautiful message. Believe in ourselves, believe in the future, believe in your own self-confidence, - and believe in others. It is a beautiful poem indeed, Ruth. Nicely Done!!!
