I just read this paragraph in an article on the Net and felt it's something I wanna blog about..
"As I work on ridding myself of all the negativity that has accumulated over the years, I am reminded of a sculptor at work. He chisels away at the excess stone in order to reveal the beauty known only to his mind's eye. I have a hard time visualizing the masterpiece buried within me and I often mistake excess stone for part of that masterpiece. The excess stone covering my fragile soul is much like the sculptor's stone - cold, hard and inhibiting. Lies, illusions, and unsurrendered pain are compressed together over time into the stone weighing down my soul much like rock is formed in the earth. As I grow weary and discouraged from chiseling away at this hard surface, I have to remind myself that I am worth the hard work, time and effort. I no longer shun the doubt and frustration I experience, but I don't let them overcome me either. I trust that I am perfectly and wonderfully made and I practise focusing on positive thoughts and learning to truly love and value myself."
The girl who wrote this is a christian as implicitly mentioned in the later part of the article. Isn't it great to know you are actually worth more than what you think you are? :)
