I am me.
I am unique. There's not another human being in the whole
world like me -- I have my very own fingerprints and I have
my very own thoughts. I was not stamped out of a mold like
a Coca-Cola top to be the duplicate of another.
I own all of me -- my body, and I can do with it what I
choose; my mind, and all of its thoughts and ideas; my feelings,
whether joyful or painful.
I own my ideals, my dreams, my hopes, my fantasies, my
fears.
I reserve the right to think and feel differently from
others and will grant to others their right to thoughts
and feelings not identical with my own.
I own all my triumphs and successes. I own also all my
failures and mistakes. I am the cause of what I do and am
responsible for my own behavior. I will permit myself to
be imperfect. When I make mistakes or fail, I will know
that I am not the failure -- I am still O.K. -- and I will
discard some parts of me that were unfitting and will try
new ways.
I will laugh freely and loudly at myself -- a healthy self-affirmation.
I will have fun living inside my skin.
I will remember that the door to everybody's life needs
this sigh:
Honor Thyself
I have value and worth.
I am me, and I am O.K.
(Adapted from Self Esteem by Virginia Satir)
