Love Your Self Well!

(Ask me for" Signs of Emotionally Mature, Responsible Adults”)


Are you ready to love you?

Are you willing to love you?

Are you open to love you?

Do you know how to love you?


Is it possible we have been nurturing our inner child to stay a child?

Do we even know how to love ourselves into being an adult?

Is it possible we have been coddling the needy part of ourselves?

Could it be our society does not know what it means to be responsible?


You have two selves essentially.

An adult, rational, capable, responsible, confident Self.

And a childish, emotional, dependent, insecure little self.

You may have learned to pay attention to the weak and needy one.


Are we taught to give attention help, encouragement to the whining, complaining, unhappy one?

Are we stuck in feeling sorry for and feeding those who seem to be unable or unwilling?

Have we been confused by the beliefs in how good it feels to carry, help and baby others?

Do we believe love is baby talk, pampering, advising and smothering others with attention?


Therapists, doctors, caregivers, nurses, mothers often are taught to create dependence.

Our helping profession often fosters dependence on them for help, guidance and direction.

Non-profit agencies, the government welfare and unemployment agencies may not know a better way.

When our society is economically based on caring for those who are sick and needy, it weakens.


We need to care about the need for education, right livelihood, health care and housing to strengthen society.

We can begin to foster independence, being rational, responsible, respectful and confident.

We can teach, model and inspire people of all ages and abilities to do for themselves.

We can demonstrate and provide safe quality whole life education with practical and effective methods.


We can offer people work opportunities where they receive benefits. 

We can give people clear choices to thrive rather than survive day to day.

We already provide food, shelter, water, health care and education for most folks.

But we often fail to teach how to use what we have with respect and responsibility.


When people receive $ or gifts from parents, government, non-profits, are they taught to give back?

When people receive an education, are they expected to get a job?

When people get a license, are they taught to drive carefully?

When people reach 18-21, are they encouraged to live on their own as adults?


We don’t need governmental rules or handouts to create responsible adults.

We need responsible parents, teachers, caregivers and people to teach by example.

We need all of us to step up and correct our fear-based nurturing.

We need to do everything we can do for ourselves, our families, our community and world.


When we think in terms of 'what we cannot do', we will not believe 'we can do for ourselves'.

When each one of us changes how we think, speak and treat ourselves and others, things will change.

When we encourage, strengthen, affirm, and create positive opportunities, everyone will benefit.

When we ourselves become self sufficient, confident and capable, others will learn from us.


It is time to grow up, to become all we believe we can be and more.

It is time to take responsibility for ourselves and our lives and empower ourselves.

It is time to think, speak and act in positive and beneficial ways to build a better world.

It is time to start today to practice what we know will work for one and all.


One day at a time, Be Your Best Self.

You are unlimited and totally capable of giving and doing your best everyday.

Affirming “You Can”, when you think and say and behave like “You Can!”
