self esteem: the measure of love and respect for yourself

Good Morning Everyone!

We are told to “Love yourself!” I know when I first heard this I was kind of confused. Didn’t everyone just automatically love oneself? Evidently not. Seems we carry the baggage of others’ opinions around…often unknowingly. The only way we know this is when the confidence that is required to do something just isn’t there. Being “shy” is one manifestation. Other examples might be someone who is overly boastful using a false bravado to compensate for a lack of confidence. And there’s more, of course. You don’t want to get into your bathing suit and play at the beach; or you won’t stand up for yourself when required; or there’s a voice in the back of your mind constantly saying, “you’re not enough…smart enough, pretty enough, educated enough, rich enough, etc.

When we don’t appreciate who we are, value our worth or appreciate our uniqueness, the tragedy is a life unfulfilled and a world that goes without our unique gifts and talents, because we don’t have the ability to bring them to the world. We live small. We hide. We never seem to get what we want.

Having the requisite love and appreciation for oneself results in a fulfilled life. We don’t “take” from others, we stand in who we are radiating our beautiful Self out to the world, and by Law of Attraction we are matched with the lovely things we deserve. It’s not aggression; it’s magnetism like a Light House standing firm and steady on the shore so that all the boats can easily and clearly find it. The ability to shine clearly is self esteem.

We are so much more than we think we are! At the core, we are Source Energy having a physical experience. In human terms we are gorgeous just as we are, despite what your human mind has to say on the subject. Each of us is a chip off the same Old Block, and have the same core of Source Energy, Well Being.

This is the time in the course of human history when we are awakening to Who We Really Are. Isn’t it time you stopped resisting and let go of the false ideas your human mind would have you believe about you? What’s stopping you? Do you think the process has to be painful or scary? It doesn’t. Do you think this is going to take a long time and divert you from your “real life”. It doesn’t have to. Do you feel lost and don’t know where to begin? Well, start here. It’s a fun journey and when guided by someone who’s been there, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It’s a natural process of … letting go.

Join us in a workshop this evening, February 9, 2011 and then a 4 week seminar in Falling in Love with Yourself: You are Enough. You can only benefit, there is absolutely no downside to this; and the benefits are infinite.

Thanks for reading!
