As I was folding and putting away clothes, I was listening to music (my usual!)and a song came on that was different – it resonated with my spirit when it came on. The artist kept saying over and over, “Take me as I am, Or have nothing at all”. I have heard this song before but not like this. I thought about the discussions of positivity that I have heard lately and how they have affected or effected my thought life, especially pertaining to my self-concept. This is the conclusion that I have come to. You can accept me the way that I am or choose not to be around me, and I am fine with that. At the end of the day, it’s your loss, because when it comes right down to it, after filtering out all of the negativity, I have discovered that I am a pretty awesome person. And I’m sure that if you do the same, filter out all of the negative thoughts that come towards you day in and day out, you will find that you are pretty awesome, too!! So, give it a try. Be blessed, and welcome the peace that comes with the freedom of loving yourself.
Take me as I am – Period!
