A healthy balanced self assessment should be a normal self defense mechanism hard wired in each one of us. It's when reasonable critiquing morphs into negativity and criticism then it becomes a problem that causes more harm than good, holding us back from greater things. We don't let it dominate us.

29 years ago I dreamed of owning my own modest home and I didn't believe it possible. But my wise cousin helped me with the Financial math. It was just before I enrolled as a student nurse with full time work at union wages await me after graduation. I made it my plan. My hands shook signing for a big mortgage after graduated and working two years. Now I am mortgage free, and three years earlier than planned. Thank God, what an accomplishment!
