As I started loving myself, I understood how annoying it can be to someone as I try to force my desires on this wish, although I knew the time was right for the person to get ready for it. Was not and even though this person was me. Today I call it honor.

As I began to love myself, I understood that under any circumstances, I am in the right place, at the right time, and everything happens at exactly the right time, so I can calm down. Today I call it self-confidence. As I began to love myself, I quit stealing my time and I stopped designing big projects for the future. Today I only do what gives me joy and sorrow, the things I like to do and those that make my heart happy, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it simplicity. As I fell in love with myself. I have freed myself from anything that is not good for my health - food, people, things, situations and everything that attracts me to get down and away. At first I called this attitude a healthy ego. Today I know that this is my own love. As I started loving myself, I always gave up trying to be right, and had less time than when I was wrong. As I started loving myself, I refused to live in the past and worry about the future. Now, I am only living for the moment where everything is happening. Today I live every day and I call it Blessed.
