thaks for you reply and your words of wisdom. i have to take some time to ponder what you have written
i worked out with judo for some time and enjoyed that until my shins gave out from footsweeps.
with regards to faith i can simply state "i believe" and proceed from there, but I am attempting to go beyond that and connect with "God" in a more meaningful way.
take care...hope to chat with you some more in the future

Hi,
I think we are in the same boat. In my case, I think I have good qualities, but I always seem to discount them. That I could be better. I tried martial arts, got my black belt, in hopes of improving my "talk up" or confidence. Now I am a black belt that probably could not defend myself, because I would cower in fear.
I understand what you are saying about the religion. What I have found is that faith and religion are two different things. Faith is belief in God (or some might say a higher being) Religion is the rhetoric to structure faith. It is the belief of many, and this is something I am working on that God wants and expects us to ask for help. Just as any parent would want his or her child to ask for help. Now sometimes the help is subtle. Sometimes for me it is getting through a meeting without feeling inadequate. and when that happens I thank God for his help. Because I know it is because of Him that I got through it.
Try taking in small steps. tomorrow morning when you wake up, before you open your eyes (or at least before you get out of bed) thank God for reviving you to see another day.
Be positive :)
Hi
how can i talk myself up? I have tried prayer. ocassionally it seems to work. I am not very relegious in a conventional sense, so perhaps thats a problem.
my problem is that I know i have a tremendous amount of good stuff going for me such as kids, wife, wealth etc, but i have trouble meeting the demands of my life, basically functioning day to day.
any comments...thx for your help
