"Take special moments many times every day, and see yourself in brilliant vision." Christian D. Larsen
How do you see yourself? When you catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror or window, do you smile and think how wonderful you are? Or, do you notice the wrinkles, the poor posture, the body shape you judge to be negative? Self regard is extremely important in life. Not self adulation, but positive self regard. If you are not your own best friend, who do you have on your side in times of trouble? Of course, if you are spiritual you can say that you have God or a Higher Power on your side; but this is an important consideration --- if you do not have your own back, who will?! Most of us are well trained by the people and institutions in life to have some self disgust. Let's eradicate that. It is a disservice to ourselves. Who have you been able to count on in your life? If you do not name yourself first, then it is time to do the work to make you the person you can most count on. This does not negate spirituality. Many of us belief that a benevolent being also supports us, but we need also to support ourselves. You deserve it.
