The only person …

MAN, I can be hard on myself — relentless, always expecting the best, demanding — constantly pushing myself to do better, be better.

But I would never want to spend my free time with someone like that.  So, why do I allow that behavior in myself?  The truth is, I have been looking for someone else to tell me that I’m good enough, that I deserve love, or that I’m okay just the way that I already am.

I invite you to repeat this with me:  the only person who can give me permission to feel good about myself and love myself is me.  The only place I have to “fit” is inside my own skin.

Question:  Do you tend to be hard on yourself?

Food For Thought:  If so, would you treat your best friend that way?

Challenge:  What is one nice thing you can say about yourself or do for yourself today?
