Faith

Isn't it the case that if you believe in yourself, then you can do what you set out to do? That faith is the key to any successful human endeavour?

And you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone?

Blimey - that's a bit intense for a Sunday evening before I go back to work after 3 weeks off, but.... yes.... :o)

The question then is, in the absence of success, how do you find faith in yourself?

I feel more confident of myself now than I have in years, and yet I know its only because I have been some what succcessful in recent months.

If that were not the case, then I think I would still be lethargic and prone to defeatism...

..you don't find it - it's just there...

...or alternatively - how do you define "success" - in your case work and a new job, your new ankle biter, etcetc

For someone else it can be something entirely different - I wonder if the definition of depressed shouldn't actually be "an inability to see success in any aspect of your life, even when events that other people would define as a success are existant"...

.....and this is still way too heavy for a Monday morning... :o))
