I am reminded of these two choices.
I can live in self-pity and the resulting fear, sadness, victimhood, and depression or I can live in a positive self-esteem with the resulting confidence, happiness, joy, peace, and freedom.
I have lived in each of these states, and I prefer a healthy self-esteem.
In the self-pity I had a dependence on others to tell me I was a good person and when they got tired of holding up my ego they would leave and I was right back to my self-pity.
In my healthy self-esteem, I get to be confident in the gifts and talents given me.
I get to maintain a positive outlook towards life.
I get to be present to others in a spirit of service, kindness, acceptance, appreciation, peace, and Love.
May each of you create a healthy self-esteem.
You are Loved.
