I AM ME

In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me Everything that comes out of me is authentically me Because I alone chose it - I own everything about me My body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, Whether they be to others or to myself - I own my fanatasies, 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 know There are aspects about myself 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 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 authentically Me - If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought And felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is Unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that Which I discarded - I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be Productive 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

Pain in purpose

Wouldn't life be so much easier if we knew our purpose. We spend most of our time trying to be happy, successfulr, wealthy, comfortable or just simply trying to find or fulfill our purpose. But why is there so much pain accompanying that process? Is the pain pertinent? My answer is yes. Without the pain we would continue to travel down wrong paths. The pain is just a form of redirection. So I'm thankful for the reasoning of pain although the pain itself may have been uncomfortable but I realize that because of the pain I'm once again headed back in the right direction.

I Choose to Be Happy

I realize that my happiness is up to. I was talking to someone the other day and they said that sometimes they can be upset about something for hours after it happened. Why? I decided a long time ago that I will not allow others to dictate my joy. When you find yourself upset it is just a distracter from you being focused on your goals. No one us worth me forfeiting my plans to engage in anger, bitterness and hatred. I choose to be my best me!
