HOW TO BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND WHO LOVES AND ACCEPTS YOU JUST AS YOU ARE….
My Friends, I want to encourage you to not give in to the urge to quit when the going gets tough.
Be your own best friend—be the one who truly loves, accepts respects and supports yourself and the one you can always rely on.
DON”T BELIEVE OR LISTEN TO YOUR OWN MIND’S NEGATIVE SELF TALK
The worst thing we can do to ourselves, especially when life gets tough or scary, is to listen to and believe our own negative self talk.
We are all used to listening and buying into to our own mind’s self criticism and constantly finding fault with yourself. We believe it because its our own thoughts…
But when we do we are programming ourselves to not only feel miserable but to create misery for ourselves and everyone connected with us.
The truth is that all those negative thoughts flowing through our minds are poison slowly killing us…and it’s a dangerous pitfall to believe them. Those thoughts are bullshit.
PRACTICE LOVING YOUR SELF ON PURPOSE
When you practice loving yourself on purpose, you will see all that negative stuff that has caused you so much suffering over so many years was simply mirages of misery, dark illusions, and stupid lies.
The only way to really see the truth is when we are looking through loving eyes and an open heart.
The key is to consciously stop listening to or accepting the negative self talk and focus on loving and believing in yourself.
This takes effort and time to change, but once you start making the shift from the negative view to an invincibly positive attitude, you and your life will change and improve day by day.
As long as you keep seeking to improve every day, then you are like an arrow that has been launched from the bow, is shooting through the air, affected by life, but certain to achieve the goal.
God certainly helps those who work their process everyday, refuse to quit and keep on keeping on.
My teachers would always say such an aspirant makes more progress than they realize, steadily moving up, but usually can’t see it themselves until those sudden major breakthroughs…

A VERY BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING MUSIC VIDEO TO SHARE WITH YOU
“Free As A Bird” by the Beatles
This amazingly well done music video is a short film using archival footage of the Beatles cleverly timed with the sweet profound song in a movie made from the point of view of a bird that has just escaped from its cage, flown out the window through all the scenes of the Beatles home area…
This video was released in 1995, won 2 Grammy Awards in 1997…Best Pop Performance and Best Music Video…31 million views.
It is so entrancing and rich that you will find new revelations every time you watch it!
