[00:00.00]Passage　81 My Declaration of Self-Esteem

[00:07.01]I am me.

[00:09.86]In the entire world, there is no one else exactly like me.

[00:14.78]There are people who have some parts like me but no one adds up exactly like me.

[00:22.66]Therefore, everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone choose it.

[00:30.32]I own everything about me—my body, including everything it does;

[00:36.60]my mind, including all my thoughts and ideas;

[00:40.76]my eyes, including the images of all they behold;

[00:46.23]my feelings, whatever they might be

[00:49.21]—anger, joy, frustration, love, disappointment, excitement;

[00:56.86]my mouth and all the words that come out of it

[01:00.60]—polite, sweet and rough, correct or incorrect;

[01:05.96]my voice, loud and soft; all my actions, whether they be to others or myself.

[01:13.62]I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.

[01:19.74]I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.

[01:25.87]Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.

[01:32.44]By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts.

[01:38.67]I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interests.

[01:44.58]I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,

[01:49.29]and other aspects that I do not know.

[01:52.35]But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself,

[01:56.94]I can courageously and hopefully look for the solution of the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.

[02:05.15]However I look and sound, whatever I say and do

[02:10.95]and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is me.

[02:16.64]This is authentic and represents where I am at that moment in time.

[02:23.31]When I review later how I looked and sounded,

[02:27.91]what I said and did, and how I thought and felt,

[02:32.17]some parts may turn out to be unfitting.

[02:36.11]I can discard that which is unfitting and keep that which proved fitting,

[02:42.79]and invent something new for that which I discarded.

[02:47.49]I can see, hear, feel, think, say and do.

[02:53.84]I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive,

[03:00.95]to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.

[03:07.08]I own me and therefore I can engineer me.

[03:11.02]I am me and I am okay. 晨读美文 晨读美文100篇 经典晨读美文 适合晨读的美文 晨读美文 小短文 晨读美文200篇 晨读美文励志 晨读励志美文100篇 经典晨读美文3分钟
