Self-approval


 
Loving myself means...
 
I shine brightly.
 
I am not willing to dim my lights...
 
so that others will like me.
 
I approve of myself.
 
I remember to think kindly...
 
 speak gently...
 
 give freely...
 
encouraging others to shine too.

We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
