Appreciating your own accomplishments

"If we don't appreciate ourselves, it's very difficult to accept the appreciation of anyone else or to attract a whole lot of success into our lives."  Mike Robbins
My last two posts were about the importance of encouraging someone else.  Then I opened one of my journals this morning and one of the pieces of papers stuck inside had the above quote on it.  I think it was the perfect quote for me to find as I continue on my writing journey.  Writing for me is a very important form of self expression.  I write for myself and I write for others as well.  It is something I enjoy doing.  There are days when I do appreciate my writing and feel that I am getting better and then there are the days that are full of self doubt.  I think that this is probably pretty normal but my goal is to have more days when I feel confident about my writing.  I know the key is to keep writing and to keep sharing my stories.  I am going to add a story page to my blog so that I can begin to share my short stories with my blogging friends.  I think this is a good next step for me.  I would love to know what you do to appreciate yourself and the life you are living.
