Conquering ourselves

"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're usually right."Henry Ford said those words and I have to agree with them. I am often my own worst enemy and my 'inner dialogue' is not helpful a lot of the times, as I struggle with low self esteem."It's not the mountains we conquer, but ourselves."It's why Sir Edmund Hillary's quote rings so true to me. I don't know if you recognize his name, but he was the first man to climb Mount Everest together with Tenzing Norgay and Hillary climbed many mountains after that. I have no intention of trying to climb Everest (though one never knows - I;ve certainly grown to love hiking the last year), but I think he's right. No matter how hard the task before us, it's not the task that we have to conquer, it's ourselves.If we keep telling ourselves we can't do something, that we're just not good enough, not holy enough, not old enough or wise enough or whatever enough...then we'll never do it.In what area do you have to conquer yourself?
