If you had a friend who
talked to you like you sometimes talk to yourself, would
you continue to hang around with that person? -- Rob
Bremer, Speaker
Good morning! As Debbie noted when she sent the
quote, this is something we cover in-depth in the
attitude class. A quick question for you this
morning....
On a scale of 1 to 10... How would you rate yourself on
this statement... "I am a good friend." Most of us rate
ourselves high, we pride ourselves on being reliable and
supportive.
Next question, on a scale of to 10, how would rate
yourself on this statement, "I am a good friend to
myself."
Many of us stumble on question two. We demand things of
ourselves that we would not demand of others. We
criticize ourselves with harsh words that we would never
say to a friend. While we forgive our friends
shortcomings, we belittle ourselves for our
shortcomings. We build friends up, we knock ourselves
down.
How wonderfully our loves would change if we would treat
ourselves with the same kindness, thoughtfulness,
encouragement and forgiveness we show our friends.
Your turn:
Today, each time you have a thought directed toward
yourself, ask-- is this a thought I would share with a
friend in the same situation? If the answer is no,
replace it with the type of kindness and encouragement
you would show a friend. When we learn to be a better
friend to ourselves, we in turn become a better friend
to others.
Your affirmation:
I treat myself with kindness, respect and encouragement
just as I would my best friend.
