• Why do we vividly remember every insult that is directed our way?
• Why do we then go on and believe them?
• And why do we keep repeating such nonsense?

On the other hand …

• Why not recognize positive input about us publicly?
• And use it to confirm the good things we already know are part of us.
• And why not repeat on an endless loop all the good and dismiss all the bad?

There is no law that requires us to participate in dragging ourselves down. 

The one gift you don’t want to forget this year is to love the person you are and stop helping the jealous and arrogant from getting into your head.
