"As I began to love myself I found
that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living
against my own truth. Today I know, this is "AUTHENTICITY".
As I began to love myself I understood
how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person,
even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it,
and even though this person was me. Today I call it "RESPECT".
As I began to love myself I stopped
craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded
me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it "MATURITY".
As I began to love myself I understood
that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and
everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm.
Today I call it "SELF-CONFIDENCE."
As I began to love myself I quit
stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the
future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love
to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own
rhythm. Today I call it "SIMPLICITY".
As I began to love myself I freed myself
of anything that is no good for my health - food, people, things, situations,
and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called
this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is
"LOVE OF ONESELF".
As I began to love myself I quit trying
to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I
discovered that is "MODESTY".
As I began to love myself I refused to
go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live
for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day
by day, and I call it "FULFILLMENT".
As I began to love myself I recognized
that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. but as I connected
it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this
connection "WISDOM OF THE HEART".
We no longer need to fear arguments,
confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even
stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I
know
"THAT'S LIFE."!!!
~Charles Chaplin
Namaste!
