YOU DON'T

WHAT?

Monday, 20 December 2010

As all of you know, I have a

Clubhouse here on my web site. Are you a member? If

you're not, you really should check it out! It's a

wonderful Clubhouse and by being a member, you'll

find plenty of unconditional love and support from

your fellow members. So if you need a little more

inspiration during the coming new year, click

on this link to find out more about becoming a

member of our Clubhouse.

Now every Monday night in the

Clubhouse, our members, including me, get together for

an hour of live Chat. In last week's Chat, one of the

Clubhouse members commented, ", I don't

like myself." My immediate response to her

was..."You don't what?" And she

typed in the words again...I don't like myself.

I was puzzled by her comment. And as I thought more

about it, I decided to ask everyone in the Clubhouse

if they liked themselves. To my surprise,

many of them said they didn't. They didn't like

themselves, either. Well, that just won't do!

I mean, you've got to

like yourself. Because, well...you're "stuck with

yourself." LOL. But seriously, so many people will

come and go in your life, from some family members to

friends. But at the end of the day, let's face it,

all you've got is...YOU! So I say...like

who you are!

And oh yes, there may be some people in your life

who've tried to convince you that you're not such a

good person. They've slung some pretty derogatory

insults your way and may have hurt you deeply. But

let's face it, theirs would be the opinion of only one

person. And hey, you can't let the comments of others

lead you to not liking yourself. What kind of benefit

do you get from that?

And here's something else to think about. If you

don't like yourself, the fact that you don't is often

written all over your face. People can see in your

expression and in your eyes when you don't like

yourself. I'm telling you, your face and body

language reflect the way you feel about yourself.

But...when you do like

yourself, you absolutely glow. You have a

look of self-confidence and people notice that quality

in you.

And let me say this, just what is

there not to like about yourself, huh? Come

on! You've got a good heart. You're kind to

others and you have a great sense of humor.

You need to take some time to list the reasons you

have to like yourself. I did! And after

completing my own list, the word that kept coming up

is...cute. LOL!

Please, I want you to remember

that you're a special and important person.

You're one of a kind. You were put here on this earth

for so many reasons. (Some of them you may not even

be aware of yet.) But you need to get up in the

morning, put a likeable look on your face and think

about how lucky and blessed you are...to be you!

Love,
