I’m a piece of crap!

I’m not there for my friends and family as much as I should be, I don’t give enough money to my church, I talk about causes and being compassionate, but don’t do enough to make a difference, I know what I need to do to improve my health, but never make it happen for the long-term, etc.

I’m a piece of crap!

Isn’t easy to get sucked into the big black hole of worthlessness as we find fault in ourselves and fall short on a daily basis? Even when we present ourselves publicly as having all together, we mourn inside because we are such losers.

I saw something in my Facebook feed today that moved me to write this post. I’m going to ask that you commit today to replace any thoughts of worthlessness or falling short be replaced with the following two words:

You believe no one should see anything good about you because you’re phony or unqualified or unprepared or <fill in the blank>. For me, this usually reveals itself in the form of self-deprecating humor–I make fun of myself for the sake of a laugh, yet inside I believe that what I’m saying is true about myself. Sound familiar?
