I am me
In all the world, there is no one else like me
There are persons who have some parts like me, but no one adds up exactly like me
Therefore, everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it
I own everything about me
My body, including everything it does;
my mind, including all its thoughts and ideas;
my eyes, including the images of all they behold;
my feelings, whatever they may be, anger, joy, frustration, love, disappointment, excitement;
my mouth, and all the words that come out of it, polite, sweet or rough, correct or incorrect;
my voice, loud or soft;
and all my actions, whether they be to others or myself
I own my own 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 so doing I can love me, and be friendly with me in all my parts
I can then make it possible for all of me to work in my best interests
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 puzzles and for ways to find out 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 me
This is authentic and represents where I am at that moment in time
When I review later how I looked and sounded, what I said and did, how I thought and felt, some parts may turn out to be unfitting
I can discard that which is unfitting, and keep that which proved fitting, and invent something new for that which I 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 OK.
