"When I started loving myself" - A poem by Charlie Chaplin

When I started loving myself I understood that I’m always and at any given opportunity in the right place at the right time. And I understood that all that happens is right –from then on I could be calm. Today I know: It’s called TRUST.

When I started to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody. When I tried to force my desires on this person,even though I knew the time is not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I know: It’s called LETTING GO.

When I started loving myself I could recognize that emotional pain and grief are just warnings for me to not live against my own truth. Today I know: It’s called AUTHENTICALLY BEING.

When I started loving myself I stopped longing for another life and could see that everything around me was a request to grow. Today I know: It’s called MATURITY.

When I started loving myself I stopped depriving myself of my free time and stopped sketching further magnificent projects for the future. Today I only do what’s fun and joy for me, what I love and what makes my heart laugh, in my own way and in my tempo. Today I know: it’s called HONESTY.

When I started loving myself I escaped from all what wasn’t healthy for me, from dishes, people, things, situations and from everyhting pulling me down and away from myself. In the beginning I called it the “healthy egoism”, but today I know: it’s called SELF-LOVE.

When I started loving myself I stopped wanting to be always right thus I’ve been less wrong.Today I’ve recognized: it’s called HUMBLENESS.

When I started loving myself I refused to live further in the past and worry about my future. Now I live only at this moment where EVERYTHING takes place, like this I live every day and I call it CONSCIOUSNESS.

When I started loving myself I recognized, that my thinking can make me miserable and sick.When I requested for my heart forces, my mind got an important partner. Today I call this connection HEART WISDOM.

We do not need to fear further discussions, conflicts and problems with ourselves and others since even stars sometimes bang on each other and create new worlds. Today I know: THIS IS LIFE!

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself

As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”  Nothing could be closer to the truth.  But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back. Here are some ideas to get you started: Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.  If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you.  You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.  Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.  And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on.  No, it won’t be easy.  There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them.

  A woman makes her own social science experiment. First, while very plain looking, she asked for free cake, and free taxi rides. She was rejected on every request but once. Then she got fully made up with heels, make up, and a revealing dress. She basically has everything thrown at her for free. oh babylon, you're doing it wrong...
