Hey John, This is DEEP Stuff! Finding myself among Psychologists and Philosophers so early in the morning is better than that second cup of coffee. I can't say I relate very well. I think my problem has also been too much "Bravado" and that I can spirit...so I run headlong into brick walls... lots of lumps on my head! I face every challenge with "How hard can it be?" without doing my Homework or Mastering the effects of timing. So, the pendulum swings both ways...finding a balanced approach to self-esteem and confidence may be the right way to go. Frankly I never boast about anything and rather not talk about myself at all, but that inner child is so stubborn like the Taurus I am, I don't know if I will ever find the middle ground. I guess fear is healthy if you can control it. Approaching girls scared the hell out me as a young man - I think I have mastered that one! Snakes, they give me the shivers still. Everything else is an adventure. Well my session is up, I hope I am cured.

John I'll agree and disagree. Some wounds are deeper than others, some more fatal than others. A young plant will wither and die faster than a more mature one, if faced with similar situation. Many times we give up our rights to soar.But sometimes we are helpless and it takes an Outside help to restore us because we've lost/put to sleep the Power within. In whatever Situation we find ourselves,we need God to see us through.It is he that gives us strength to overcome the "put downs"we encounter That threatens to break our spirit. He may use different means - A loving parent or friend; a counselor; A total stranger; a song, a book; to name a few. BUT YES WE Need TO DEVELOP THE ATTITUDE OF SOARING ABOVE OUR PROBLEMS. USE THEM AS STEPPING STONES TO CLIMB HIGHER!!!! Patricia C http://www.growwealthyandfree.com http://www.savegasandmoney.myffi.biz

Hello John, This is Luella. Yes, exercise gets those endorphyns in balance and gives you a lift, a sense of wellbeing, thereby raising your self esteem. And yes, it can help you to stay fit and active. I do my best also to stay in shape. My weakness is fried apple pie. Have you ever had one of those? A friend of mine made some for me while my mother was in the hospital. I will not even dare learn how to make them. Too tempting. Although, it is really easy, if you think about it. Kindest regards, Luella May and John Elliott, aka Oaky Wood
