I think i am a very strong person, who is very reliable and trustworthy. I have no doubts about being trustworthy, however, the challenge is to always be relaible. I always want to be dependable -which is the basic pre-requisite of being reliable- but in reality, that (being dependable) at all times is very difficult to be achieved. Why? There are so many factors affect one's ability to be dependable, of which, many of them that affect us are out of our control.
Therefore, my opionion of myself, though significant to me, is relative.., depending on who is required to judge you. In short, it is not what you think of yourself, it is how you are 'viewed by others' that determins how you are treated by them.

Hi Bala.....
I am reliable and also trustworthy, but only for others....when it comes to myself, I am very confused and lack self-confidence. I work hard to take care of others and make them happy, but when it comes to my self-care and my happiness....I just ignore them most of the time.....when it comes to priorities, myself for me is the last choice....children, family friends and other loved ones come first.So now you decide if I am strong person or not.......because I don't know .....

I believe in myself as much as possible because no one can believe in me unless I believe in me 100%.

I was very strong and reliable, but with chemo, you're not very reliable any more.

My strength wavers but doesn't everyones? I believe I am strong, but only in certain ways and usually only at certain times. We gain our strength by believing in ourselves, and sometimes situations and circumstances cause our belief to waver. I am strong now, and I remain strong because I know that I can preservere over the tasks at hand.

I like to think that I am strong but there are a lot of times that I have closed my eyes and depended on something bigger than me. I am pretty resilient though and have a knack for "going with the flow." I don't know about the strength, but I am very loyal.

I am truly my own worst enemy
I am normally confident in the begining but after awhile I start doubting and second guessing myself
I often dont finish things I start because of my lack of confidence
but I am currently working on a project that means a lot to me and many others and even though I have run into some bumps in the road I am determined to see it through
I can feel myself becoming stronger through my perseverance

I'm looking back at my life now ... There were days when I got up in the morning and things were not the way I had expected they would be ... There were times when the people I trusted disappointed me and left me down ... There were challenges and changes I had to accept or to refuse in life ... There were days filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities ... I'm looking back at my life and ... it was not everything so easy all the time ... but in all that time of struggles I found a stronger sense of who I am, I believed in myself and I found the power to fight for reaching my goals ... I never left anything and anybody to make me turn the other way, no matter what they said ... Now ... I've reached the point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress ... if the people likes and accepts the way I am, that's good ... if they don't, that's not so important ... I'll never change and I'll try to be allways just myself ...
