Best Friend

Good Morning, Sometime back I made a post in which I talked about the relationships we have with ourselves. Of course the beginning of any good relationship is friendship. You can search the entire universe for someone more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, but that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, more than anyone in the universe, deserve your own love and affection. This is not the attitude that has taken root in our society and we are not teaching it in our schools. In fact very few of us embrace ourselves in this manner, and yet it is key to the treasure of truly respecting, honoring, and supporting ourselves. This is the beginning of being able to extend love and kindness toward all people everywhere. It is also an essential requirement for experiencing the quality of love we all so deeply want to give and receive. This brings us to a realization so eloquently described by the poet Walt Whitman - I am larger and better than I thought; I did not think I held so much goodness. Have a beautiful day. Peace and Love, Jim
