Lift your head up! Before you let another negative thought bring you down, remember that an ancient soul is very proud you! Can’t recall why? Let Mr. Rogers remind you of just a few of the times he saw what was so special about you!
There was that time that you did the right thing…
I’m proud of you for standing for something you believe in – something that isn’t particularly popular, but something which assures the rights of someone less fortunate than you.
And that time you didn’t get what you wanted but worked so hard…
I’m proud of you for the times you came in second, or third, or fourth, but what you did was the best you had ever done.
And when you had so many other things on your plate but you were still there for them…
I’m proud of you for the times you said “yes” when all it meant was extra work for you and seemingly helpful only to somebody else.
And even though you really wanted to…
I’m proud of you for the times you said “no” when all it seemed to mean was a loss of pleasure, yet eventually supported the growth of somebody else as well as yourself.
