OMG…….WOW!

I’m Here…….. (I am really okay with me)

We cannot change the color of our skin. What we can change is how we feel about it.
We cannot change a pain-filled past. What we can do is change how it affects us.
We cannot change how others may feel about who we are and where we’ve been.
What we can change is how we see it, how we use it and how others use it to our benefit or detriment.

So much of our time, energy and attention is wasted trying to convince other people how wrong they are about us. We spend so much time trying to show them who we are NOT, and we lose sight of who we really ARE.
It all begins with our willingness to acknowledge that we are really fine, just the way we are.

If you’ve ever doubted your ability to survive, please listen to the words of this song.

Don’t Judge A Gummi By It’s Label

I always seem to be feeling either superior or inferior, one up or one down, better off or worse off than everyone else. The superior moments are elating, but the rare and blessed moments are when I feel equal.

There is no such thing as “best” in a world of individuals.

Why this need to divide up,classify, and neatly package every new acquaintance?

For me to try to classify something so complex as an individual human merely demonstrates my own shallowness. A judgement of another person is an abstraction that adds qualities which are not there and leaves out what is unique. When I classify individuals I turn them into objects. The only way for me to contact other people is to exprience them, not think about them.
