Esteem
Honor
Respect
Appreciate
In order to be all that I Am
I must have self esteem
That is where we begin
After all, what’s it all about if
I don’t have value
But esteem isn’t just about the self
We are happier, more well adjusted, more productive, individuals when we
Honor, respect, appreciate - Esteem - everything around us
People, places, things, events
Sunlight and rain
Children and old people
A shiny new car or an old rusted wheel barrow
Are you beginning to see the pattern?
When we can recognize that everything has a purpose
Even when it doesn’t feel good or look pretty
When we stop having to judge, put a label of right or wrong on things
We begin to be free to truly BE
Esteem is about shining the light of love on everything
I have choice
To accept or reject, to love or despise
To Esteem or toss aside the wonders in and around me
And so do you
Now . . . turn it all back on your self
Hold yourself up to the light of love
Stop judging yourself as
Not funny or serious
Pretty or handsome
Young, old . . . or
Perfect enough
BE all that you are and you will shine the light of love all around you
The circle of life is alive and well - in you - and me - and all of us
