ABC I Like Me!

Famed self-help author Louise Hay used to say most of our problems come from not liking ourselves. We it would seem would rather rather believe our own bad press than the truth about ourselves.

Whether we admit it or not we all hear voices. Everything we ever heard is recorded and runs constantly in our heads. How do we quiet all those negative and critical voices in our heads? You know the ones. The ones who say: “You can’t do that, you always fail, no one likes you, you are not pretty enough, not smart enough. You are doomed, cursed, destined to fall and to fail.”

Meditation they say is a good way to quite those crashing waves of criticism so that we can hear the still small voice that speaks truth to us always and reminds us that we are loved, that we are lovable, that we are altogether lovely, that we are love.

Will Shakespeare is credited with the line, “To thine own self be true and thou canst be false to no man.” In the three laws that supersede them all, Jesus said that we are to “love God with all our heart mind and strength and to love our neighbor as we love ourself.” Failing to love our self is to fail at all three really.

Go over those ABC’s again and again till you realize how wonderful, marvelous, capable, and lovable you truly are.

Your friend and fellow traveler,
