So many people in our society have a difficult time accepting themselves. They doubt their abilities and talents. Much of this comes from childhood, from teachers, parents, or friends, some well meaning, who belittled us or put us down. We need to overcome that and move on with our lives. I believe there are three key areas to do this.
1. Accept yourself. You are one of a kind. There is no one else in the Universe quite like you. It may be hard for you to believe that but you must because it is true. You have talents and gifts that no one else has and the world is waiting for you to share them so we can all benefit.
2. Learn to love yourself. Even Jesus said we should love ourselves because if we don't how can we love our neighbors. Loving yourself means appreciating all that you are. Your face, your body, your hair, your talents, your kindness, your love, your gentleness. Don't compare yourself to the phoniness of celebrities. Many of them have deep problems and needs and would love to swap their lives for yours.
3. Give of yourself and your time to others. That is the best way to truly grow as a person. By sharing love you will receive much more in return and your life will be one of meaning and purpose.
