My Declaration of Self-Esteem

I AM ME

In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me

Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine

My body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions

Whether they be to others or to myself-I own my fantasies.

My dreams, my hopes, my fears-I own all my triumphs and successes. 

All my failures and mistakes-Because I own all of me.

I can become intimately acquainted with me-by doing so I can love me

And be friendly with me in all my parts-I know there

Are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects

That I do not know-But as long as I am friendly and loving to

Myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for the

Solutions to the puzzle and for ways to find more about

Me-However I look and sound, whatever I say and do and

Whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is

Authentically me-If later some parts of how I looked,

Sounded, thought and felt turned out to be unfitting, I can

Discard that which is unfitting. Keep the rest and invent

Something new for that which: discarded-I can, see, hear, feel

Think, say and do. I have the tools to survive. To be close to

Others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of

The world of people and things outside of me-I own me, and

Therefore I can engineer me-I AM ME and

I AM OKAY
