AS OURSELVES

"It's remarkable how we really love our neighbor as ourselves; we do unto others as we do unto ourselves.

We hate others when we hate ourselves.
We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves.
We forgive others when we forgive ourselves.

It's not love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of the troubles that afflict our world."

``Look inside yourself ~ that is where you’ll find true beauty``

Ever have the feeling that everyone’s going “QUACK” when you’re going “HONK?”

Do you sometimes find yourself saying ~ “I’m not like the rest. I’m different?”

Feeling out of place?

Like the Ugly Duckling ~ we don’t always recognize our own strength or beauty.  We focus more on ~ “If Only…”

In time, our mind’s eye will adjust to these dark feelings and we’ll begin to see our surroundings in a new light ~

We’ll recognize the real enemy ~ Fear
Then, like the duckling, our dreams will come true ~
Our Swan will appear!

“I never dreamed of such happiness as this, while I was an ugly duckling.”
~ Hans Christian Andersen
