my declaration of self esteem.
I am me.
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me;
my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, my actions,
whether they to be to others or to myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes
all my failures and mistakes
because I own all of me.
I can become intimately acquainted with me-
By doing so, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know-
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles
and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt
turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is
unfitting,
keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, and be productive
and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things
outside of me.
And therefore, I can engineer me.
I am me, and I am okay.
