I wanted someone to talk to. I had a hard day.
So I called you, but you could only talk for half an hour.
And for the second half hour I talked to myself.
You encouraged me. You told me that it would pass and
tomorrow would be a new day.
You said All the things you say to a person in distress.
I was grateful for your help, but also for the help I had
helped myself
In my conversation with myself
I also encouraged myself
I told myself that a bad day is not a whole life, and in
general,
maybe it's not what I think
I needed someone strong to lean on. So I called a friend
Someone who is almost always in a good mood
Someone who lifts others up
Someone with a lot of insight and high emotional
intelligence
Then when the conversation was over, I talked to myself in
the same way he talked to me
I applied his approach to encourage myself.
After the conversation with my coach, I felt motivated and
full of ideas on how to improve my daily functioning
Then, when I was alone, I took all this energy and applied
it.
When a friend called me because he was in a bad mood,
Well, I encouraged him, like I encourage myself, with kind
words, with a positive attitude
With tenderness, and a lot of compassion
And another friend wasn't feeling well physically, so I was
interested in his well-being and worried like I worry about
myself when I'm sick,
and I don't rest until I'm well
And then I realized, most of the time? I'm with myself
I give of myself to others
But who am I? and what is my identity?
What is my approach to life, how much compassion do I have,
how much good is in me
How much desire do I have to give, how much hope do I have,
how much love do I have
It all depends on me
And most of the time I spend, it's with myself,
i'm the first to enjoy all the good qualities of myself and
the first to suffer from the bad qualities
So I decided that from today on I will invest even more in
myself.
I will invest the thought and effort so that my life will be
better, so that I will be more pleasant every day and I will
live life in the best way
Not only so that I can give to others
But first of all so that I can give the best to myself |
