"I like me!"
Because of our feelings of inferiority and our constant
badgering with putdowns, it's hard sometimes to like ourselves. Don't
you think that learning to like ourselves should be one of the goals
of life? When we catch ourselves in the trap of not liking ourselves,
we can use the practice, "I like me!" If
we said that to ourselves in the morning, at noon, and at night, miracles
would happen. Why? We'd start noticing that there's a lot about us that
we like and even admire. We'd start noticing and appreciating our good
qualities. When we learn to appreciate ourselves, we become one of our
best friends. Imagine becoming one of your best friends, to the point
where you could say with confidence, "I not only like myself, but I
think I'm terrific!"
