Do you have high or low self esteem?
Answering this question honesty can have a profound impact on your life.
Self esteem is the ability to love yourself completely just the way you are.
No exceptions to this rule.
when you truly love and accept yourself for who you are on the inside it will start to affect your outside world in ways you probably can't imagine right now. But give it time and you will see a difference...a huge difference.
Because true change happens within not without as the great spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle once said. However, in order to truly love yourself as is right NOW you MUST accept everything about yourself.
Your weight. Your look. Your attitude. Your job. Your spouse. Your car. Your financial situation. Your emotional situation. Your kids. I'm talking everything. Now you don't have to like it all just accept it how it is right NOW. So if these's something you just can't, don't or won't accept YOU must change it. Because loving yourself and everything about you in the first step towards self esteem building and living a more richer rewarding, fulfilling life.
DO what needs to be done. Say "I love and accept myself", out loud or to yourself a 100 times a day. BE the change you want to see in the world. Create real joy for yourself. You are worth the effort, you know. And also know that no one else can or will do it for you. You must accept the responsible to change. Then you must act.
And remember you must BE before you can DO and you must DO before you can HAVE. Start today by loving yourself for all that you are. All that you have and don't have yet. All that you stand for and what's to come. Love it all. So put To love myself more as one of your life goals.
