Living From Within - Knowing Your Self-Identity

Living From Within - Knowing Your Self-Identity

In knowing beauty, you become beauty. In knowing love, you become love. In creating truth, you give truth. As you see yourself, you will see the all.

If you want to change, you must decide what there is to enhance. What it is you are currently made of is a part of your beliefs and doubts. In order to change these things, you must be able to look honestly at what is present. Allowing yourself the probability of change is allowing yourself to be open to the possibility of enlightenment.

When you are acting on a situation, you must remember your motives are for you alone. Each time you make a decision based on another person’s value, you do not include your own. This type of thinking will lead to the reduction of your self-identity and self-esteem.

It is important to live this life in acceptance of yourself. That is acceptance of yourself completely in body, mind, and spirit. This is how harmonic balance is achieved. This acceptance may take time to achieve, but it is a possible and attainable goal.

Accepting yourself as you are will enlighten you, and afford you the opportunity to be yourself in any given situation. This, in turn, gives you the confidence necessary to live without doubt. It is a simple task if you agree to accept yourself as you are, and in your abilities and strengths.

Affirmation: To develop your belief system for this step, always tell yourself, “My self-identity is present within me. I believe in who I am.”
