A lot of my friends (and even casual acquaintances) tell me that even though they surround themselves with lots of "positive" messages about self-acceptance, and plenty of healthy self-talk, there are times when they feel "out of place" and not quite sure of themselves, especially when it concerns relationships.
This is a favourite piece I have repeated and reproduced over many years through my newsletters and small booklets. I hope you will find it encouraging in your personal life.
Love without attachment!
After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love does not mean leaning,
and company does not mean security
And you begin to learn that kisses are not contracts
and presents are not promises
And you begin to accept rejection
with your head up and your eyes clear
with the grace of an adult,
not the heartache of a child
And you learn to build you life on NOW
because tomorrow is too uncertain
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much
Plant your own garden and decorate your soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers
After a while you learn that you really have infinite worth.
