An attempt at affirmation

I am aware that I have long struggled with insecurity, a lack of confidence and "toxic" thinking. I realize that those qualities can only hinder one who aspires to be their best and work gradually to make things better for others. Here is my attempt at affirming those things about myself that my insecurities often seek to deny. Maybe I will repeat this to myself on a regular basis.

I am a creative person.
I am a gifted communicator and artist.
I am an excellent writer.
I am a good listener.
I am a great storyteller.
I have a voice.
I have something valuable to offer.
I am a critical thinker.
I am a compassionate presence.
I am an attentive father.
I am a faithful husband.
I am a dependable friend.
I am a grateful child.
I am a thoughtful scholar.
I am helpful to others.
I am fair.
I am a constant and strategic agitator against injustice and dehumanization.
I am careful.
I am courageous.
