Appreciate Your Self

When you fully appreciate your self, you will continue to grow in love, respect and self trust.
When you love, trust and respect yourself, you will naturally love, trust and respect others.
When you fully appreciate others, they begin to appreciate themselves.
When others love, trust and respect themselves, they begin to love, trust and respect you.

And this makes all of our relationships work!

The world appears to have slipped into a negative and critical state.
You may be part of this negativity?
When we are not fully appreciative, we live in a limited, pessimistic and depressed state.
When we think, speak and act with little gratitude, we diminish our relationship with everything.

When we are negative, we teach others to be negative.
When we are positive, we encourage others to be positive.
When we appreciate ourselves (not bragging or arrogant or “better than”), we inspire others.
When we are glad to be alive, to have family and friends, food and shelter, we uplift others.

What would it take for you to stop criticizing and complaining about anything?
How could you  stop using, abusing and confusing others with negativity?
What could you do today to change your thinking, worrying, and judging others?
How can you begin to appreciate yourself and others for every little act of kindness?

Planting seeks of gratitude costs nothing.
Smiling at yourself in the mirror every morning takes no time.
Giving those you encounter a genuine greeting only benefits.
Being willing to forgive the petty stuff and enhance what your value builds what is Good.

Each of us can change this world in whatever direction we wish.
Negative campaigning in your family and workplace, yields conflict and creates more of the same.
Positive affirmations build unity, teamwork, creativity,  and effective and healthy relationships.
When you want to give the best, start with yourself.

Be positive in how you talk to yourself.
Be appreciative with each job well done.
Be grateful to yourself for your willingness to love you well.
Be happy with yourself, your life, your achievements and your growth.

Take time everyday to appreciate the Good in you.
Take time with everyone to be thankful for the Gift they are.
Take time in everyway to value the blessings in your life.
Take time to give fully receive the gift of Life.

This is a prayer of Thanksgiving for All That Is.
When we remember it is Good, we realize All is God.
When we appreciate the Gift we are, we give our gifts with Joy in giving.
Life Grows. Love flows. We remember All is Well.

Loving you,
