You Are Wonderful!

You are a worthy, wonderful human being! How often do you hear that? How often do you say it to yourself? It feels good, doesn't it? Well, it's true. You ARE wonderful. You are deserving of every good thing. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. Do you know this?

Psychological and emotional abuse is more prevalent than physical abuse and the effects are longer lasting. We can get away from a physical abuser, but the words someone used to cut us down stay with us. They follow us where ever we go and into every relationship. The longer we heard how bad and unworthy we are, the more deeply ingrained in our consciousness it is. It can be difficult and time-consuming to recover from this kind of abuse, but we can heal from it.

You are a special gift to the world just waiting to be given. There is something valuable in you that only you can give. You may or may not know what it is, but it's there. It's time to realize how valuable and wonderful you are.

Many people don't know how to love. They operate from fear in all their relationships. They attack out of fear. Unfortunately, we also attack ourselves out of fear. When we treat ourselves badly, other people will, too. It comes from a deep seated belief that we are inherently bad and deserve to be treated badly. This could not be further from the truth. We are the seeds of love itself with a tremendous capacity to love others, but we don't treat others lovingly until we begin to treat ourselves lovingly.

When everyone else is gone, who do you have? You have you! You have someone who never leaves you, someone who's every breath is devoted to your care. What a wonderful person that is who loves you unconditionally! Do you have a relationship with that person? When you get to know the one person who is always with you and learn to love that person, kind and loving people will be drawn to you. Get to know your best friend and constant companion. Appreciate this devoted friend. She/he is waiting to tell you just how wonderful you are.
