Declaration of Self Esteem

Declaration of Self Esteem



I am me. In all the world there is no one else like me. There are persons who have some parts like me, but no one adds up exactly like me. Therefore everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it.


I own everything about me…..my body, including everything it does; my mind, including all its thoughts and ideas; my eyes, including the images of all they behold; my feelings, whatever they may be --- anger, joy, frustration, love, disappointment, excitement, my mouth and all the words that come out of it – polite, sweet or rough, correct or incorrect; my voice loud or soft; and all my actions, whether they be to others or to myself.


I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interests.


I know there are aspects about me that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know. But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for the solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.


However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me. This is authentic and represents where I am at that moment in time.


When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did, and how I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting. I can discard that which is unfitting, and keep that which proved fitting. And invent something new for that which I discarded.


I can hear, feel, think, say and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.


I own me, and therefore I can engineer me. I am me..And I am OKAY……

YES!

I finally realized that I don't have to fear or be anxious of the unknown.

I don't have to worry about whether I'll say the wrong thing, or know all the answers to all the situations that I'll ever face.

If I do my best and listen to sincere and loving correction when I fail, I will finish my journey as a better person than I am now.

I don't have to live my life being stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I get quiet, ask God for his guidance, I will soon see a solution to my problems where formerly none existed.

I don't have to fear the future. I can recover from mistakes.
