Believe in Yourself

It really hits home, you really realize how someone messed with your mind, and how you let them, for so many years when, the first weekday of “falling back” from Daylight Saving to standard time…he calls to tell you it is time for you to pick the kids up from his home snd take them to school, insisting that it is 8:30. You are sitting in front of your computer with your phone next to you and both say 7:30. You check your other clocks, thinking it is possible you could be wrong, somehow you messed up or are missing something. That even though you’re a lawyer who practices in three jurisdictions, passed three Bar exams on the first try, you can’t tell time correctly! Guess what? I wasn’t wrong. Not now. Not all those times I believed it…that I didn’t understand a situation, didn’t remember correctly, didn’t know what my kids needed, couldn’t keep track, couldn’t manage money, couldn’t stay calm, etc. Not saying I don’t make mistakes. But I can tell time. I wasn’t always wrong when I believed I was. I wasn’t always at fault for everything that happened. And neither are you. Believe in yourself.
