Secret # 6 ~ Conquering saboteurs

I am a little behind in my reading of the 12 Secrets of Highly Effective Women, but still enjoying the book. I just finished reading the sixth secret and the main message I received from it is how important it is to value our own natural talents and try to recognize those little internal negative voices many of us have, that try to sabotage our accomplishments. There are also external voices that we need to be aware of, comments other people might make that could affect us.
As a parent, I was reminded how careful we need to be with what we say to our children about their talents and creativity, to make sure we nurture them.
