Making me look like a good guy.

I build myself up. More than I tear myself down. That’s the proper thing to do. But I know so many people, especially women, who tend to deflate themselves. Rather than inflate. They have low self-esteems. That’s too bad. Maybe they think I have an oversized ego. Could be. But I’d rather call it self-confidence. Thing is, I define myself. Rather than let others do it for me.  And I’d have to be an idiot to belittle myself more than I heap praise on my wonderful being. I’ll castigate myself. But mostly in humorous ways. Frankly, I like being me. I have no desire to be someone else. Sure, I ain’t perfect. But I ain’t bad. In many ways. So that’s my focus. On making me look like a good guy. –Jim Broede
