My Favourite Poem that I read for Inspiration

Recommended Posts

i am me

 

"My Declaration of Self-esteem"

In all the world,

there is no one else exactly like me -

everything that comes out of me is authentically mine,

because I alone choose it - I own everything about me - my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions,

whether they be to others or to myself -

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears -

I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me - by so doing I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts -

I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,

and other aspects that I do not know -

but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself,

I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me -

However I look and sound, whatever I say and do,

and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me - If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turned out to be unfitting, I can discard that which I feel is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded -

I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.

I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive,

and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me -

I own me, and therefore I can engineer me -

I am me &

 

I AM OKAY

 

By: Virginia Satir

 

I hope this poem inspires others as it has me!

All my Love,

Thanks for sharing Lexy... I actually attended a professional development workshop based on the Virginia Satir Model once. Very impressive...
