When Do We Know We Are Good?
by David Stoddard

When exactly do we know we are good at something?

Maybe it is when our parents take our work and hang it on the fridge. Or when they tell all their grown-up friends about all of the great things we do. Perhaps it is at the dinner table when they may congratulate us on a job well done?

Maybe it is when our neighbors comment on things we have done around the house. Or it could be when they truly seem interested in our daily work instead of just being nosey. Or perhaps it's when they sincerely ask for help instead of demanding it of us.

Maybe it is when our friends start to wish they were more like us. Or perhaps its when classmates begin to cheat off our papers on tests. It could also be when they want to do everything with us no matter what it may be.

Maybe it is when our teachers stop marking up our papers with the red ink and begin putting smiley faces on them instead. Perhaps it is when they let us clap out the erasers for a job well done or maybe let us help by running important things around the school for them.

Maybe it is when our co-workers ask us more questions than we care to answer. It could be when they follow us around picking up things we do or when they get upset when we are out for a few days and they have to fill in (pulling their hair out at the time).

Maybe it is when bosses say they could not have done it without us. Or it could be when comments they make about us at meetings come back to us. Then again it could be when they keep insisting that we can never leave for good.

Maybe it is when clients ask for us by name for even the simplest of requests. Or it could be when we are chosen for a big project that will involve us to work more for less than normal. Then again, maybe it's when we see someone and get volunteered by showing up.

Maybe it is when our children ask us for help on their homework or when picking out a nice outfit. Perhaps it is when they get older and realize just how much work we have done. Or, better yet, it could very well be when they look up at us and say "I want to be just like you."

Maybe there is no true way to know when exactly we believe we are good at something. It doesn't matter what the task is-- be it working on computers, balancing a checkbook, flying a kite, talking on the phone, scheduling conferences, writing, speaking, cooking, gardening or whatever else we can attempt to do.

Maybe it takes a lot of things for us to get to that point. Perhaps a lot of people have to say things before we start believing them for ourselves. So many people can influence us throughout our lives. Parents, teachers, neighbors, classmates, friends, co-workers, bosses, clients, our kids, or maybe even a kind word from a stranger can change the way we see ourselves.

Maybe it just boils down to us as individuals. Maybe we are lucky and learn early on what we are good at. Maybe it takes time to figure it out. Maybe when we get away from it, something inside keeps calling us back to it. Or else we just do it, find out we like it, get good at it, can think of nothing else we would rather do, and we become the best we can be. Well, maybe.
