Belief and Self-Esteem

"We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit."
                                                 - e.e. cummings

Do you recall the first person who believed in you and how it affected an event in your life?  Describe the details and who provided support.

Show how this person: a coach, parent, mentor or friend influenced your experience.  Did you feel a surge of self-esteem?  What did it feel like?

Consider also a negative influence that motivated you to go beyond and "show them."

Write from the inside out.
