The Greatest Gift Of Life is Being Able To Like Who You Are! What Are The 10 things I Like About Myself ? What are Yours?

in #philosophy8 years ago (edited)

What are the things You like about yourself? What makes You a better person? What can we do to change our world? We have to start first within ourselves. Do whatever you feel you should do and follow your intuition, listen to your inner voices. They are always right.

Author, Life, Executive Coach, Change Motivator, Speaker “José Micard Teixeira" made me contemplate because I have so many questions reading his wonderful poetry. He inspired me to list 10 things I like about myself. Maybe you could write yours in the below comments. I would love to get to know my "no face" followers a bit better.


When you concentrate on the good in yourself, you create more of it. You may not even believe it, but the solution for many of your problems lies in not giving them any importance at all. Don’t get too attached to what you think is your karma, because you may end up giving up on a lot of things for not seeing yourself capable of doing more or differently. You’re here to accomplish, but also to create. Do whatever you feel you should do, say whatever your heart asks you to say, be the person you wish so much to be, and you will see how all of that is going to take to where you’ve never thought you’d go. Build your life in a way that you won’t allow anyone to destroy it. Develop your generous spirit. Celebrate each moment you spend with yourself. Earn life with what you give. Thank those who are grateful to you. Let go of what’s holding you down so you can always have your hands free. Be great in the words you choose to pronounce and in the gestures you decide to have. Remember that everything you do to someone, you’re also doing it to yourself. And don’t forget that if you wander away from your truth you will inevitably live in a lie, simply because honesty only makes sense when what you think, say and do is no longer a representation of who you’re not, but of who you intend to keep on being.”

                


What are the 10 things I like about myself ?

To answer this question is actually not as easy as I thought first. I will try because I am in the middle of a big transition and my self-esteem a bit crushed but I do accept changes as they present themselves to me for now. I keep motivating myself to keep my head up and come out of my shell, crystal walls need to fall and they do.

- I am caring and compassionate, more for animals than humans sometimes because they never hurt nor disappoint me. I am crying when I see any living being suffer. 

- I am adventurous, spontaneous and streetsmart, sometimes even fearless. I created a very exciting life experience with those talents. I was always told that I am ambitious, even intelligent but lazy. Living life as it flows is my best teacher, therefore I was never disciplined enough to study at university.

- I am a fighter for justice and freedom , a free spirit as many of my friends call me. I got myself in many troubles and calmed down a lot coming with age but my soft-heart has also a very thick protection around.  

- I can love deeply without conditions , accept people for their uniqueness without wanting to change them. I might be considered as too emotional and passionate, simply too much for some colder hearted people. 

- I am curagous and nothing can stop me when I remember my goals and dreams , sometimes I forget what I want but I always know what I do not want.

- I appreciate and recognize beauty and can feel or see it , even create it. I inspired many people I met on my path and always help some to rise to a higher emotional level even though I forget myself at times.

- I am loyal as long as I trust but if I loose my belief in people I run very far away and never look back 

- I am so curious, love to grow and learn more and more ! Thats why I enjoy this platform so much. I never get stuck in the past for too long and live the best out of my present and craving to know what the future brings 

- I am forgiving even though its hard to do but thankful for all gurus teaching me about gratitude and first of all self - forgiveness. 

- I am passionate and even though I lost some of my fire but I am laughing a lot 


Self sabotage always appears and once in a sudden I started thinking about all those things I do not like about myself but best to push this disturbing little devil in my brain far away. 

I hope, I inspired you with my thoughts of today.

Thanks to @leondani to inspire me and get me in that mood of self reflection with this song on @radiosteem

The Chalk:

There is a path that opens up, beyond this door
There you will find, a brand new chalk, lying on the floor
Whiter than light, for you to have, to guide thoroughfare
Just pick it up, that is your hope, to find your way
Deciding how you want to go, from here, to there.
You can go left, you can go right. You can just stay, lay down a while
Do not be fooled, you can't erase, the line you draw is here to stay
That line curves, the life you lived, but worry not
As long you keep, a little piece of chalking light, you still can write
The paths you wish for in your life. From here to there
Don't waste too much, or keep intact, you have to write, but do it right
A gentle grasp is all it takes, don't force it much, it might just brakes
And when the chalk comes near its end, you must slow down, and just lay there
You'll see the light that you've create, with only a chalk, from far away
That path of light, that looks so fake, it was just you, from there to there

Lovely. Really inspirational. I think you may have inspired another post. Did you know a lot of people can't write 5 things they like about themselves never mind 10? It's really sad :(

I'm hoping by the time I finish people can name 100 things that are awesome about themselves!

Thats really funny to read your comment because I spent my morning reading most of your posts today. It sounds very self-absorbed to write MY own likes but I felt to inspire others to at least think about it. I am in a very difficult life situation once again dealing with an alcoholic for too long just like you wrote about your father. I feel crushed and needed to find ways to remind myself who I AM.I started with 5, changed it to 7 and ended up with 10 and lucky me I could have continued.....I deserve to be LIKED ! Hahaaa

Thank you! I'm honoured :D

I used to think the same. But, if you think about it, telling our stories help people to relate better than any other way. If you tell it like it is, and say this is me, this is how I see the world, people build a strong connection.

If I were to say: Ok, this is what you do: Blah, blah, blah, then it comes across preachy and people think, "what the hell do you know? You haven't been through it" - but if you tell your story and bleed on the page and tell them how you got through it - then people go, "wow. I can relate" :)

Took a while to realise that. But there you have it.

Awesome post. I enjoy reading your work :)

Wow mammasitta that was very motivational and touching! You write very well! I think that I should try and make a list of 10 things as well.

Keep up the good ideas and expressions!

@kus-knee (The Old Dog)

Good morning my new friend. I can't tell you what gratitude I feel to read more comments every day. I am curious to read your 10 or even more #LIKEYOURSELF old dog thoughts.It means even more if you think my writing is good because thats my biggest insecurity i try to conquer here with steemit. You all motivate me so much. Thank you !

Yes I think that your 10 points is an important exercise.

We should meet some day! Totally recognize me in most of your points, which is kinda freaky (in a good way though). Think you might be my long lost sister. Keep up the positive vibe. Thanks for sharing xxx
