Friendship

TODAY'S QUOTE:

"Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world."... Eleanor Roosevelt

True that... if we cannot even get along with ourselves how can we cope with any other relationship? Each of us possesses such limitless potential, well past what most imagine as their utmost capability. And the times we get short-sheeted the worst it's usually us tucking in the corners. If my worst enemy is me, who can be blamed for taking my lead?
All of us have regrets; none possess any claim to perfection, but that doesn't mean self-hate will correct our blemishes. Bitterness illuminates while forgiveness emancipates, and the most important one to pardon is yourself. We're just as human as the next guy, yet the punishment we suffer at our own hand is always much harsher than what is deemed fair for others.
Intentions matter more than we realize, be worthy of friendship by beginning with yourself. Believe in your power to evolve. Do unto yourself as you want others to do unto you and that practice will extend outward by default.
I received the link posted below from a very wise man. We agree that it really isn't a secret at all... we all should realize our worth and celebrate all blessings great and small. In life things are really much simpler than we make them. Beginning a day with this reminder would enrich every moment that came after. Enjoy it... I certainly did. And ... Think about it... Let it ride... Then decide!!!
