I have the power
to clean up after myself.

an excerpt from the springtime of my life...
I'm starting to feel, on a deep emotional, soul/spirit level, what I have known intellectually for a long time. Simply:
I have value
The more I value myself, the more it seems (amazingly!) that others value me. Actually, I suspect they always have. It has only been recently that I have recognized this fact, and allowed myselft to begin accepting and believing it.
My journey to self worth is best described by one of my favorite quotes from Nelson Mandela:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us: it's in everyone. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
