"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!

The Ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40 please." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual asks the waitress?" "No, this is F...

Freedom

Once upon a time, there was this little girl; she had blue hair and white eyes. People just called her The Girl. She loved to pour water over a big ants farm. Almost all the ants hated when this happen, except one young ant called Freedom. He loved to ride the waves created by the pouring water of The Girl. All the friends of Freedom told him that this was pretty dangerous, that he was too impulsive and needed to stop doing it before it was too late. The time passed by and Freedom disappeared from the farm. His friends started a search. One day, freedom’s girlfriend went to his favorite place to ride, hoping to find her boy. She saw a old ant sitting down in a rock and asked him if he know something about Freedom. He told her “There was once an ant called Freedom that became unstuck in the world. He took the wind for a map. He took the sky for a clock and set off with no destination. He was never lost.” They never look for him anymore.
