learn to focus on who and what I am instead of on who and what I'm not

feeling better, just had a blip in my horizon. All better now.
I love me. I love you. I love the family and puppy and kitty and goldfish and and wool socks and all of it….I am great…now I need to FOCUS, FOOOCCUUUUSSSSS

I don’t like me very much right now. What I am not is winning.

is the key to success/happiness/everything good in life.

This gets to be extra-difficult on bad days because I sometimes find myself wishing I were someone else. Sucks to be me, I sometimes think, but then again, who else can I be?

I am important.
I am smart.
I am capable.
I am powerful.

I’m stuck with myself until the day I die and possibly beyond that, so it only makes complete sense to change what I don’t like about me, and what I don’t like and can’t change I just learn to appreciate and live with. Comparing myself with other people rarely helps; I just end up focusing on what I’m not (and I sometimes beat myself up over that) instead of acknowledging the good things that I already have in me.
