EMBRACE YOURSELF

LOVE WHO YOU ARE



The reason I have become genuinely happier, is I have embraced myself. I know how and why I am different, and I welcome it. I am a good person and that is all that really counts. I am not a barbie doll figure, but i love who i am inside (more on this later - will be titled "you only rent it").

I judge myself by 2 facts. 1) can i sleep with myself at night (my conscious does not bother me as I have done everything I believe in - like not hurting others, etc...) 2) all the people i love around me, and actually value their opinion, are always saying wonderful things about me. Not that i believe totally in "worrying what people think" but if its all good, well that sure doesn't hurt - ha ha.

I just love self-discovery and I think it probably never ends. Whether it is pondering how you reacted in a situation and learning "maybe next time i will/wont do that". I like listening and observing other people and seeing what I or others find good or not good in that person and wondering if i do that or did do that and what i can learn from it and take away from that situation. I love taking quizzes but only the ones that were researched and put together with much information - like the Myers-Briggs and the True colours -those kind-( i will put the links up to those when I figure out how to -haha)- not the little mini silly ones like on facebook i once did one "how will you die" and got told i would die face down in my hamburger at the age of i think it was 38 or something- well i am well over that age for one, so i am not going to run out and become a vegetarian anytime soon based on that quiz - haha.
Anyway, I got told by the Myers-Briggs I am an ISFP and my true colors one I am an orange. I get the same results each time and it just makes me embrace my differences and acknowledge who I am and what I can and can not do- I don't need to be everyone else. No, I will probably never be as organized as some with everything in its place. Not to say you can not learn to change things you want to-of course you can. But don't be hard on yourself or let others be hard on you. Are you hurting anyone? If not, are your shortcomings really that bad?
I apologize- while i write this, I am listening to a dear friend doing a radio show and trying so hard to give my full attention to this blog as another friend is dying to read my next piece (the bucket list) . And see, I admit that I usually can not do 2 things at once - but i just apologize and do the best i can-
Also, maybe you have little pet peeves - or obsessive compulsive disorders- my family thinks i have this because little things like using the dishtowel instead of a hand towel to dry their hands sends me over the edge- but we laugh about it - i don't lose sleep over it or kick anyone out (yet-haha).
So whatever your colors, personality type, pet peeves/obsessive compulsive disorders, you are who you are. Are you a good person? Do you do the best you can based on all you know, all you have learned, and are still seeking to grow and love yourself more? ....Then you can sleep tonight.
Lots of love from Lori love ,
till the next piece-
