Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.
We don't just get our choice; we get the consequence that choice creates.
If somebody rejects you or your choices, you are still real, and you are still worth every bit as much as you would be if you had not been rejected.
Embrace and love all of yourself - past, present, and future. Forgive yourself quickly and as often as necessary. Encourage yourself. Tell yourself good things about yourself.
Accept yourself. Love yourself just as you are. Your finest work, your best moments, your joy, peace, and healing come when you love yourself. You give a great gift to the world when you do that. You give others permission to do the same: to love themselves. Revel in self love. Roll in it. Bask in it, as you would the sunshine.
Today, I will focus on what's right about me. I will give myself some of the caring I've extended to the world.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.
Today I will stop trying to control my relationships. I will participate at a reasonable level and let the other person do the same. I can let go, knowing that the relationship will find its own life-or not-and that I don't have to do all the work, only my share.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
