them to others, and survive disapproval if it should occur. We know deep in our bones that we can't possibly please “all of the people all of the time,” as Abraham Lincoln so wisely counseled, so we understand that occasionally we will disappoint others. And we are secure enough in ourselves to court that disapproval if what is being asked goes beyond our capacity or desire.
When we believe in ourselves, we don't have to prove anything to anyone about our worthiness of love or attention or time off. We rely on ourselves to be the arbiter of what we're willing to do at any given moment and how much is too much. We're not interested in competing with Mrs. Jacobs, who not only baked six dozen cookies, but personalized them with each child's name. We know what our needs and priorities are and make sure we're included on our to-do lists.
