I found your blog via the photography group in FaceBook - I'm glad I clicked!<BR/><BR/>I can say that for me, my self-perception did, and to a much lesser extent still does, limit my possibilities. A lifetime of low self esteem/worth/confidence has prevented me from pursuing dreams that I wouldn't hesitate to follow now. In a sense, I mourn the fatalities of opportunities I didn't grasp due to not thinking I could, or didn't deserve, or 'what if' that were always followed by 'I can't'. <BR/><BR/>Time, experience, self-reflection, and a few wins under my belt has allowed me to become stronger, more willing/daring/confident/challenging. <BR/><BR/>I wish I had someone instill the insight when I was younger to evaluate, understand, and set goals as you stated so eloquently in your message. It's a wonderful reminder for me even now - thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
