Of a certainty, we are, each one of us, unlike any other. As such, it behooves us to be none other than that one person God means us to be. Though never easy, our foremost challenge in life is to acknowledge who we are and to love ourself.
That which is seen by others—no less so by ourself—is not our true Being. Truth, ever our guidepost, is not of the body but of the soul; each a child of God in His own spiritual image.
In thus honouring our true Being, all the while giving thanks to God, we experience a wondrous harmony of mind, body and soul, to know peace within. A new-found selflessness that reflects the divine light of the soul enables us, in all humility, to love and to give freely of ourself to others. Only thus do we come to know and love ourself.

Excerpt from CHANGE YOUR MIND: Not your Diet ©
Truth, ever our guidepost… Last week I was wound up like a watch that was about to spring open… WHY?? Why was I critical of myself and of others… on and on… ugh!! I thought I could just keep ignoring my feelings even though as time went on I wasn’t being true to my spiritual purpose. I was feeling ever more unworthy.
*Meditation classes teach: the answers are within me… obstacles to my peacefulness are never ‘out there’. It was time to ask mySELF, “what is going on within me? why am I doubting myself?” The answer became clear… I must set aside time every day to nourish my soul. blw

"Thanks for this one! It is so true and you are not alone how you are feeling! It is a great reminder to take time for ourselves and this means nourishing the soul too. This is not selfish.
