We need to learn that what we believe will dictate how our life unfolds. So if we believe we are rubbish at things we will be. If we believe people will only let us down then we will only see the people who do let us down and never our real friends and supporters.  Holding on to a basic belief in yourself isn’t vain its common sense. It aids us in reaching our goals and striving for our best. It helps us to be happy even when life lets us down because it tell s us we can still have hope. But most of all it should always be a part of our basic self-care.
