I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything
that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I
own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all
my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my
dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my
failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there
are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not
know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously
and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more
about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I
think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some
parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can
discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for
that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools
to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and
order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and
therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.
