feeling bad about myself but not

I think I am not alone here in that I can feel so down about myself for being flawed.

I realize my shortcomings but though I reach out to others like my Dr. or family or folks here on DS.org, I also 

have come to understand I need to 'engender' the kind of good will and positive outlook within me.

I say that to myself and it reassures me and slowly I feel better.

Cultivate an inner light and hold on to the positivity about relationships with others and yourself.
