Today I have chosen to love and honor myself, instead of convincing others to do it for me every day.

Because the greatest struggle in life is the struggle to accept, embrace and love ourselves, with all our imperfections. Be 100% honest about who we are, how we feel and what we need in the future. To stop discrediting us for everything we are not, and start giving us credit for everything we are. And be aware that not everyone we love will agree with us every step of the way, and to be right with it.

We have to learn to be our best friends because sometimes we fall too easily into the trap of being our worst enemies. We love the idea that others love us, and we forget to love ourselves.

What we must understand is that our greatest task is not to discover self-love but to tear down the walls we have built against it. When we have the courage to push through these walls to know ourselves and embrace ourselves, despite our humanity, our failures, and our rejections, we also open the door to connect in a more compassionate, loving, empathic and intimate way with others who really worth it.

That's why it's time to ...

1. Begin to tell you what you like about yourself. - In your own life, it is important to know how spectacular you are. You really have to look in the mirror and be kind. Because what we see in the mirror is often what we see in the world. Our disappointment in others often reflects our disappointment in ourselves. Our acceptance of others often reflects our acceptance of ourselves. Our ability to see the potential in others often reflects our ability to see the potential in ourselves. Our patience with others often reflects our patience with ourselves. You have the idea: you must first show yourself a little love.

2. Begin to be one with who you are. - Something that is really difficult, but worth it, is to give up being perfect and begin the journey of becoming your true self. The most beautiful part of this trip is simply to return to the peaceful feeling of being. This peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be.

3. Start focusing less on gaining approval from others. - Remember that you do not have to do what others do. And you also do not have to get permission to do it differently. Your time on this planet is precious. As the saying goes, "what you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day of your life for it." Do not wait for someone else to give you permission to live.

4. Begin to distance yourself from those who bring you down. - Being in no relationship is better than being wrong. Do not worry too much about people who do not care about you. Know their value! When you give yourself to those who do not respect you, you lose. Your friends in life should motivate, inspire and respect you. Your circle should be well rounded and supportive. Keep it steady. Quality over quantity, always.

5. Begin to forgive your past self. - When you confront the dark parts of yourself and work to banish them with the light of your forgiveness, your willingness to fight with your demons in this way will make your angels sing. It's just a matter of accepting that sometimes good person like you make bad decisions. It does not mean that you are bad; means that you are human Bored with your past; it's over. Forgive yourself for what you think you did or did not do, and focus on what you will do from now on.

6. Begin making the changes you know you need to make. - The fact that something has made you happy in the past does not mean that you should keep it forever. If you want to see changes in your life today, you will have to do things you have never done before. Different input = different output. Stay away from the things that drain you and move into the thoughts and activities that empower and satisfy you.

7. Begin to accept the mistakes you have not yet made. - To succeed in the long run, it must fail sometimes. So do not let the fear of making the wrong decision stop you from making any decisions. And do not let you know how it will end, avoid getting started. When we act, uncertainty chases us to the outdoors where the opportunity awaits us.

And, of course, if you're struggling with some of this, you know you're not alone. Many of us are there with you, working hard to feel better, to think more clearly and to regain the course of our lives.

I do not know where in the world you will not even know if you exist. But I am excited to think that at some point someone will open your computer and come here to these letters. He read it and know that it is written for: Man or woman, young or old ... so what? I write these lines to someone who knows what it is to feel alone or lonely. These cards are for someone who needs a hug or afraid. A person who has seen some morning clear their mistakes and their consequences. Someone in the desire to be otherwise always stumble on the same stone, that surprises us because it is part of what we really are, even if not suspect. I write to discover who frequently excited / or with the heart spinning like a pinwheel wish but this hopeful recognize where the wind comes from.

Someone well understood that some days the world is very short and others imprisons his shadow, know also comprise heavy and leaden days when we are stuck, without direction or course and we need someone on our side grip the wheel. It is recognized in that effort rowing, paddling and rowing again until land appears on the horizon. These charts are for those who feel all that and more but do not dare leave the soul to hear those rhythms in samba.

You see, friend, stranger still, I was thinking how beautiful it would be that everyone else would have written a letter or a poem dedicated, inspired by it, created by its mere existence. And that all people sense that someone else would be remembered with affection, and not the most beautiful thing you have shown, but still having taught the monster that also house. The reason for these cards is you. You will not be one / or those who refer this following saying: "NOBODY IS MORE THAN ONE WHO ALONE HAS NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER"

My goal: to live is to live with all illusion, as high-flying balloon. Spotting the view from the top, appreciating the beauty beneath my feet, carefully observing everything my way, so no one hurt me. Just so I can feel free, like the moon loves the sea, and the air in your eyes, as the land under the sun. My dream is a world of feelings, the sorrows, laughing, crying, smiles, is the most certain way.
