of things and in remorse forget that
we didn't always let people down, that often enough we played up.
If we become too critical of our scives, it is natural to soften the sting of our remorse by making excuses for ourselves, and that makes us unjust and uncertain in our judgments as well as unhappy.
If we can see no good in ourselves, other people will find it difficult to see the good in us, and that's bad for all of us. It is an old saying that others take us at our own valuation. The person who is always groaning over his shortcomings isn't a pleasant companion, in any case.
If we feel inferior to others and that wo fall below their standards, the wisest thing is to start off again. making our past faults a jumping-off place to better things. Useless regreta will only add eyll to evil.
If we've dons a tough job which has gone against the grain, instead of being slack as wo were tempted to be, why not be pleased with ourselves? We should be pleased if some one else lind done it
That inner sense of satisfaction which comes when wo have been our best selves, is one of life's finest tonica.
