I will realize...

[caressa]

I will realize my own worth when I accept...
myself exactly as I am.

Self-Value means I know who I am!
Self-Esteem means I am who I say I am!
Self-Worth means I believe I am who I say I am!

Until today, you may not have been aware of how
your knowledge of your own value affects your
self-esteem or how your self-esteem affects your
sense of self-worth.

Just for today, make sure that what you know about
yourself is reflected in what you say about yourself,
because what you say about yourself influences what
you believe about yourself.

Today I am devoted to knowing, saying and believing
the very best about myself!!

For many years, I didn't know I was worthwhile and that I deserved a better way of life. I needed to learn to take care of myself, it was a foreign concept to me. Old tapes told me I was not worthy.

I am a good person, I'm not perfect and I strongly doubt I
ever will be, at least in this world.....

Today, I can look at myself in the mirror and see that I have
grown, by leaps and bounds. There's still room for improvement,
but as long as I am doing the best I can for today, I am happy.
Acceptance is the key to my recovery..... H.U.G.S. ~SG~

Acceptance is the key my friend. Just because I find the acceptance doesn't mean I have to like it. I have found that it is important to accept me and what is happening in my life when I remember that everything is subject to change and "This too shall pass" applies to the negative and the positive.
