# "I'm good enough..."
The title is a quote from a funny Saturday Night Live skit in the early 1990s - [Daily Affirmations with Stuart Smalley](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNx_gU57gQ4).  Even though the skit was meant to be humorous, there is an underlying truth.  Trust in yourself and be your own expert, because only you have your best interest in mind (spouse included).

Inspired by this [post](https://hive.blog/hive-122315/@dumb-news/all-msm-news-about-the-election-investigation-is-dumb-right-now) by @dumb-news, I wanted to remind everybody to give yourself more credit when making decisions and don't depend on others so much, because you often know more than the collective.  

@dumb-news’s post is in the context of corporate media,  but this concept applies everywhere.  People or institutions want something from you; your attention, your action, or your money; so they tell you things that may not be in your own best interest so you do the things they want you to do or believe.   

- Like a bank asking you to participate in a seminar on, “How to save money,” where a 1/3 of the seminar is how to save money and 2/3 of the seminar is about you taking out more debt with their bank.
- Or your mother guilting you into paying 1/3 the cost of a swing-set your sister wants to get for her kids.
- Or your corporate news channel saying you should be scared of something, so you watch them more often, so they can pull in more ad revenue.

All of these things are not in your best interest.  This may seem obvious, but when someone gets us emotionally charged, we sometimes succumb to those emotions and make decisions based on other's interests, not our own.  I am guilty of this.  And in a world of specialization of labor, its easy to trust in others to solve our problems.  Knowing where to apply this requires you to trust in yourself more often.

So this is a reminder, **_trust in yourself_**, be your own expert, because you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it people like you!

Stay frosty people.  Thanks for reading.
