I think it's a slippery slope either way. I would hate for my children to not see their worth. But on the flipside I would hate to see them have no value in hard work or in making an effort.

I think in a lot of cases where we don't believe in ourselves there is an underlying issue that is greater than our parents teaching us to strive to be our best. Sometimes it can relate to siblings, lack of acknowledgement, insecurities and self esteem.

I like challenging myself to be the best I can be as a mother, as a friend as a partner and as a human on this planet. But perspective is necessary. And with perspective I can see what is important in the long term. It doesn't always work the way I would like. But that's just something else to work on
