Morning Meditation Day 67
Today I will be a friend to myself.
Today I will be a friend to myself.
No one is going to accept me if I don’t accept myself first. When anyone has rejected me, I realize now that I had rejected myself first. I was waiting for someone else’s acceptance to prove to me that I was worth accepting! Not accepting myself, I didn’t show up in the fullness of myself when I engaged with others. And so of course they rejected me!
Today I will be loyal to myself. Not in denial about my weaknesses, but loyal… and kind… And embracing. I will accept myself warts and all. Other people will see my goodness when I have seen it first.
No one knows better than I do all the hell that I have been through. I will no longer beat up on myself, when I know so well the blows I have endured. Starting today, I will be a better friend to myself.
Today I will be a friend to myself.
Thank u. That was one of the strongest teachings I got from my mom: be your own best friend...& I am (along with my beloved son).
Thank u, also, for the Zoom last night. I got a lot of gold nuggets out of that... anxious to reread my notes this morn but do recall (paraphrased) “seeing that u r here at a gathering like this, we can assume u r a caring & involved person—& in regard to navigatigating these heavy times—keep doing what u have been doing....but amp it up.” —i couldn’t agree more....do a little, or alot, more ...but with Love, not fear. One thing i did was pay for a year subscription to your Substack so i can make sure to be as Spiritually equipped to ...Yes, keep on being my own best friend, & not only survive but thrive, but also hopefully be a Light to others so they remember they are a Light to others.
I’ve been under your tutelage a long time Marianne. I am so grateful for your presence in my life & on this planet. There are so many people & things to be grateful for...let’s be sure to amp up our Gratitude too...& I am starting right here...with Marianne Williamson and A Course in Miracles...may we all rise above the battleground In our Oneness with Spirit and always focus on and Praise the Light & Love. 🙏Amen!
This meditation reminded me of this video. Less than five minutes, but so powerful:
