And listen to this!

And listen to this!  

As much as you love yourself is as much as you will ever be able to love anyone else.

If you maintain a low self-esteem, you will never be qualified to really rock anyone’s world with your overflowing passion.  When you look at it as a choice...a choice you can make or remake in any moment, it is easy to notice that you would rather love yourself and others, than just accept some boring, stupid story:  that you aren’t human gold--that you are less a part of the miracle-mega-magnificence of nature/creation than any other person or thing in the entire knowable universe.

When we are ready to forge ahead with loving who we are becoming, why do we even need a boyfriend or girlfriend?  Well, actually, we don’t need one in the same way that we thought we did before.  

Yet!  It would be exciting to collaborate with another person.  They will have their own connection to truth and they will always be able to notice things that you haven’t noticed yet, ask questions you hadn’t thought to ask, or bring gifts to your life that you never would have developed on your own.  The reason to have a boyfriend or girlfriend is for the fun of it!

And as soon as we are on the path to understanding our own significance and wondrous gifts, we are ready to take on that old programming that taught us the emotional habit of jealousy.

Jealousy is very painful--one of the worst! feelings in the human experience.  It is a scary feeling...a sick wrenching in your gut...a shivering in your heart...a living nightmare throbbing in your head.  Jealousy feeds on fear.

And fear, itself, is just a bunch of dark ideas that reside in our mind! 

I'm not special enough.  

I will be abandoned again.  

No one will ever understand me 

You see what I’m saying.  We are beginning now to recognize with our awesome brains and our powerful hearts that we are loveable *and* special, we are never really alone, and that no one is ever going to be able to see or understand us as well as we can come to know our own truths.  When we keep perspective, we do not feel threatened anymore.

Without fear, jealousy dissipates.

Some people will find that this is not as straightforward and easy-to-do as it sounds. Others will find that it is much easier than they think it will be.

What will it be like to be you?
