Many people continuously hate and reject themselves because of: -Their completely natural biological desires. -They do not conform to the current day's fashion for physical characteristics.
Seeking "your self" in conformity, in the approval of other people, or in material things is a MISTAKE.
Say to yourself instead, "I may not be perfect, I may have bad habits and weaknesses, I might have gotten off the track, I may have a long way to go — but I am someone and I will make the most of that someone."
Instead of saying 'I am nothing,' choose to say 'I am everything' and then go to prove it. That does not mean conceit or egotism, and if people think it does, let them think so. Enough for us to know that it means faith, trust, confidence, the human expression of the God within us!
Please do your work. Go and do it. No matter what it is. Do it, but do it with a zest; a keenness; a gusto that surmounts obstacles and brushes aside discouragement.
Accept yourself! Be yourself! You cannot realize the potentialities and possibilities inherent in that unique and special someone which is "YOU" if you keep turning your back upon it, feeling ashamed of it, refusing to recognize it!
