I spent a great deal of time throughout my life seeking approval from outside sources. At times, I can see that I still seek that approval. Honestly, what you think of yourself and how you feel about yourself is truly the only thing that matters. You are sober. Your gifts are unique to the world. We all have something special to offer and I am sure what you are giving to the world is powerful and amazing!

I think we can get caught up in habitual thinking and those thoughts will run marathons through us if we let them. If your inner voice starts to tell you negative then its time to turn the channel. Keep turning that channel until a positive and productive song starts to play. Its an exercise I am continually using in my life. Its hard work but that hard work does pay off.
