An Exercise in Self Esteem/Self Worth

Let's see if we can build a thread where we all recognize our own goodness.... Here's what I have so far:

I am a big hearted, caring person. I think of others before myself. I am a hard worker, a good provider and a loving mother.

I have a solid value system and good morals. I believe in the golden rule. I am open and honest in all my dealings in life.

I am self supporting. I am independent but know how to gracefully ask for help when I need it.

I am sensitive and self aware. I chose to look for the goodness in people rather than their negative qualities.

I have a great laugh and a wonderful sense of humor. I am spontaneous and openminded. I enjoy meeting new people. I am fun just about anywhere I go.

I am an awesome Mom! And it shows in my kids!

I am down to earth and fun and funny. I am who I am all of the time. I do not put on a show or pretend to be someone I am not. What you see is what you get with me.

And what do I plan on doing different? Well I plan on paying attention to my gut. Listening to my inner voice and intuition. I plan on being true to myself and not taking it personal or thinking there is something "wrong" with me, if/when a relationship of any kind doesn't pan out. I plan on understanding that people will come and go in my life and I need to focus on what is steadfast, which is my HP and myself.

I plan on looking for the lessons in life events, not focusing and staying hung up in the "outcome" so much anymore. I plan on working really hard on getting rid of my "need to know" and moving more towards acceptance and/or indifference when required.

I plan on trusting there is a path for me and even though I may not know what it is, if I continue to seek and do what's in front of me to do, I AM on that path.

I plan on not falling in love with "potential" anymore. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, I will own the fact that it is indeed A DUCK!

I am worth it. Whatever IT is! I am worth it. I am a package deal, not a pile of baggage. What I have to offer is a gift, not the boobie prize, not leftovers because you are bored or couldn't find something or someone that fit your mold. And I only want people in my life that see me and my package that way.

Not only is the bar up for people I invite in, but the bar is up for me. I plan on having actions and words that display confidence and grace and dignity and thus attract the same.

There will be no more talk of baggage with me. Whoever posted that back to me.... thank you. It makes sense. I'm slightly embarrassed my head went there... I will blame it on the flu...

And I'm excited to see what you guys see in yourselves so I hope I get a couple responses. Because maybe one of you has a trait I missed about myself
