As I was growing up, I created a belief system based on what I experienced.
Some of the beliefs were healthy and balanced, others were not.
In any case, since I did not change those beliefs, I ended up in my teens, twenties, thirties, and forties with a belief system and emotional responses of a 5-year-old.
I have discovered how the human being has the right to create new beliefs about themselves as they go through the experiences of their lives.
I have found out that nothing outside of me has any control over the inside of me.
My beliefs about myself create my internal responses.
As a 59-year-old man I have allowed myself the gift of new healthy and balanced beliefs about me.
I choose to allow others the freedom to have their own beliefs about themselves without judgement from me.
In this lifestyle I allow myself to live in acceptance of myself and others.
I choose today to live with compassion, appreciation, empathy, kindness, Love, and peace.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of emotional maturity.
You are Love and Loved.
