LOVE YOURSELF

If you don't believe that you are wonderful in every way, you are living a lie. If you have let people talk you into thinking you're inadequate, less than perfect, unworthy, stupid, weak or ugly, or if you have talked yourself into this then you are living a lie. When we find ourselves thinking in terms of lack, limitation or disease, lets look and see where that came from and reject the lies about us. The ability to love someone else starts with ourselves. We must have a high enough level of self esteem so that we automatically love others. When we get mental and emotional barriers out of the way, we see that love is already inside of us.

Negativity like fear, guilt, shame, criticism, sarcasm and judgment may be blocking us from loving completely. Rumi said, "You were born with potential, you were born with goodness and truth, you were born with ideals and dreams."

- author unknown to me
It was a process. The people in the rooms of recovery loved me back to good health. It took a lot of work and the application of the program to learn to like myself, let alone love myself.

I went to a lot of meetings and in Al-Anon they said, "Love yourself as we already love you." I went to AA, NA, Al-Anon, CA, and ACoA meetings in recovery. I never did Cocaine and Crack, but my son has. My "C" words were Computer, Caffeine, Control, and Calories.
