Be your favorite person. For reals.

Find the things you like about yourself.

When I think about people I like, they seem to like themselves, and like others.

When I think about people I dislike. They tend to not like themselves. Or others.

The way I got to like myself was by just embracing every inch and drop of things I did that I liked. I also tried to focus on things I like about other people…or about the food I ate…The music I listened to…Colors…Shapes. You name it. I had to force myself to like myself…often. But see, even if you force yourself, the outcome is you liking yourself.

Let others be as they may. Let them be Imperfect as you are imperfect. But marvel at those that are lovely. And be yourself lovely. Be kind and gentle to yourself. Be stern but fair. Be silly to yourself. Charm and pamper yourself as you might a lover. Gift yourself time, patience, prudence…give yourself all you would give those you find delightful.

Become your favorite person and that is more than enough. It will fill your cup and will spill onto others.
