recognising the best in us !

When I was 6 years old, I remember one day my grandmother telling me

"Everyone has a gift for something"

I straight found this statement so obvious and essential ! I thought she was really right; Except that for me, her affirmation did not work. Curiously, it did not bother me except that I felt a little anxiety thinking that my grand mother may discover it and so it would ruin her great theory. I really liked that theory!

I still had a long way to go to simply begin enjoying the pleasure of accepting the whole of me

The important is to recognise our richness and accept it !

We are so accustomed to ignore it, to deny it,

What can go wrong by considering ourselves the same way we would consider a friend ?

Let's not remain in denial, in fear of something and let's push the balance towards love ! 

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves : "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?"

Actually who are you not to be?

You playing small, does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

Extract from the inaugural speech of Nelson Mandela as President of South Africa in 1994

Read this text again and again, to fill yourself with its truths! 

I chose to accept my qualities with simplicity and wonder; thanks to that

I chose to accept other's qualities with simplicity and wonder

That's the message I give to my children

Acknowledge and accept the treasures that are within you and you will acknowledge and accept the treasures that are in the others

This does not mean being selfish or establishing a hierarchy, quite the contrary !

It's a great big door opened to the recognition and acceptance of others.

Depending on the love and recognition that we received as a child, the task will be more or less easy, but it is always possible to recognise and respect our qualities

I found this message in the texts I have read about the most known religions

Now I have a proposal:

Recognise your strengths, your qualities, write them down, during the exercise, refuse any idea that would stop you and read again and again those fine qualities that are yours!

Too difficult for now? Then ask a friend who knows you well to do it for you !

I wish you all a great day / evening or night !
