I guess a lot of us are raised thinking that it's not polite to toot one's own horn. Sometimes I feel that for me, it goes deeper than that - I have a world of trouble seeing myself as a part of a bigger whole. I can accept a thank-you, but I guess thanking myself is something I have to work on. :)Palava rakkaus, pikkusydänhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796815553645019541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235979140156976310.post-29876714586440676382016-09-12T11:45:19.636+03:002016-09-12T11:45:19.636+03:00I seem to recall that we've meshed on the subj...I seem to recall that we've meshed on the subject before, too, and these are the types of moments when I realize how amazing blogging is. You connect with almost-strangers over the years, and find common ground on a myriad of topics, and as a result, find like-minded people. You've been a reader for a long time, and every time I see a comment from you, I think of you as a friend, someone whose kind words I can always trust. :) <br /><br />I try to worry less, too, about where I should be tomorrow or the day after. Today is really what matters, but sometimes it's hard!Palava rakkaus, pikkusydänhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796815553645019541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235979140156976310.post-73387713759519594372016-09-12T11:40:53.588+03:002016-09-12T11:40:53.588+03:00Thank you, Susan! :)Thank you, Susan! :)Palava rakkaus, pikkusydänhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796815553645019541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235979140156976310.post-60546538141168063382016-09-06T10:31:36.678+03:002016-09-06T10:31:36.678+03:00As long as you can accept a sincere thank-you grac...As long as you can accept a sincere thank-you gracefully, it's good. I find it somewhat irritating when people badmouth themselves after getting a compliment – like they are telling *me* that *I* can't recognize what's good and what's not. Insulting my intelligence, even. Although i know it's usually very much result of Finnish upbringing and I've had trouble getting out of the habit myself...Rinna Pitsiunelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060715582505789884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235979140156976310.post-28394622900354965932016-09-05T03:06:18.088+03:002016-09-05T03:06:18.088+03:00It's uncanny how much I relate to what you say...It's uncanny how much I relate to what you say. "I toil with my own little projects and I have very little interest in putting my knowledge or skills "out there". In a way, I often feel like my skills aren't really all that special or that they don't have much value to the outside world." Oh my god, yes! Sometimes I feel like I should be doing more to put my ideas and projects out in the world, that my hesitance is holding me back from my "true calling" or the path I "should" be on, but in the end I just sort of want to do what I like without some kind of hustle or salesmanship behind it. The idea of making myself into a brand is very unappealing to me. Sometimes people ask me about, say, gardening and I can help, but that doesn't really make a whole life or career or whatever. It's just part of who I am. As I near age 40 myself, I am trying to worry less about where I should be in life and not look so far into the future, but sometimes I still do. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this post - it made me feel less alone.
