Friday

"We talk to ourselves constantly and most of the time we say things like: "Oh, I look fat, I look ugly, I'm getting old, I'm losing my hair, I'm stupid, I never understand anything, I will never be good enough, and I'm never going to be perfect." Do you see how we use the word against ourselves?"
                                                                    -don Miguel Ruiz

Randomly today 3 times I saw this. I was not reading one of his books and I just randomly saw this 3 times. I think maybe I am supposed to share this with you.

I am actually a HUGE fan of don Miguel Ruiz and have read most of his work, and own most of his work. I think he is amazing. I suggest The Four Agreements with the Companion Workbook.

When I was a younger, but not so long ago, I had a habit of beating myself up like that. I was being very critical of myself. ALWAYS.

His words are true, It is also common sense. I think his work is a great read for everyone, but it does not cure you of agoraphobia! At least it didn't cure me. It does help you gain some perspective on life and helps with having a healthier attitude.

No matter what, it is so important to love yourself and be kind to yourself! If you don't, you can't always count on some one else for love or kindness. Take a moment to think about what makes you wonderful!

Peace and Love
