Like Yourself

 Mirror image


In truth, if we do not like ourselves, we will be incapable of making healthy decisions. Instead, we will direct all of our personal power for decision-making into the hands of someone else: someone whom we want to impress, or someone before whom we think we must weaken ourselves to gain physical security....
Given your particular body, environment, and beliefs, will you make choices that enhance your spirit or those that drain your power into the physical illusion around you? ~ Myss, Caroline. Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (p. 169, 170). Potter/TenSpeed/Harmony. Kindle Edition.
And the Second Commandment
is to love your neighbor
as you love yourself.
Do you even LIKE yourself?
Did you like the you who was powerless
over food, over your unmanageable life?
Is there someone else
you allow to make your decisions?
Do you know how to make choices
that enhance your spirit
rather than choices that drain your power
into the physical illusion around you?
Is there anyone directing your life you LIKE?
Okay, lets try again.
Do you like yourself?
Can you?
Can you go a step further and LOVE yourself?
Love your neighbor
as you love yourself.
Commandment 1.5 is to like and love yourself!
