If you were a fan of Saturday Night Live a few years back, you may remember a character named Stuart Smalley (aka Al Franken.) He would look in a mirror and say, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me." Perhaps we would benefit from this attitude when we begin to look back on our lives.
Realize that what you see, how you look, and how you have lived your life is good enough. Your personality, your talents, and your helpful ways have made people like you. Don't compare yourself to others or to some ideal. Find contentment being yourself.
Some people feel they should analyze their shortcomings and make resolutions to change. Maybe appreciating the unique person you have become is better. Continue on the path you have designed. You may decide to change or remain the same. As Stuart would say, "And that's OK."
