"I'm happy being me" is magical.Sit for a moment and see all the citizens of the world saying "I'm happy being me". Please give this exercise a serious try. You can imagine a line "from here to eternity" of people from all over the world, each of them stopping in front of you saying the same words (perhaps in their own language) and then turn off left or right making room for the next world citizen saying the same, and the next, and the next... Do you think any of those who just admitted with pride and contentment the statement "I'm happy being me" have the need to hurt someone else? Hardly.  If all of us were clear over and felt the love we have for ourselves none of us would have any interest whatsoever to hurt or harm anyone else. It may be the best thing that could happen in the world. How to get there.To save the world from wars and suffering you can only start with you, as I can only start with me, and my neighbour can only start with herself. Now, be smart and don't hang yourself up on the pityable fact of you being only one person. Please. No, instead you must think GLOBAL; We are all just one person, but it's a well known fact that we are many one persons. And should everyone of us be "happy being me" then World would consist of 6,875,680,689 smiles.The only things we have to carry in life is our love and our responsibility for our lives. None of those items are heavy. In fact, when you are in love you usually feel light as a feather, so love cannot weight anything and responsibility is only heavy when you've taken on someone else's, which is something you absolutely should not do. When we love ourselves and take full responsibility for all our actions (all we say and do), life turns out to be a joyful ride. If that's not tantalizing to you, you probably don't believe it is possible to live life like that. Perhaps you are sure life is hard, not always fair and certainly does not come with a happy guarantee, no matter how many times you cover for a collegue at work or help assembly a bookshelf from IKEA for your mother-in-law. All this can be true, you say, just not for everybody, and definitely not you. You lack belief. Love and responsibility. When you love yourself you know for sure you are worth every bit of happiness and when you take responsibility for your choices you discover your happiness is in your hands, no one else's. To take yourself from lack of belief to trust you must let go of the thoughts that you cling to. Do you really believe that you are incompetent, weak, boring, disorganized, a failure, incapable or unsexy? Do you belief in farytales and Santa Claus too? While I'm a fan of fairytales I do not accept others telling me what to think of myself anymore, nowadays I'm happy being me. So should you be. The point here is to have a objective view of your relation to others. People who tell you such things have a tendency to personate themselves as a good fairy telling you what no one else had the generousity to do. They are not, and you can stop listening to them any time. Can you recall the feeling this "kindness" produced in you? It was an uncomfortable lump in your stomach, I bet. Well, there's your answer to that. If any such remark gives you anything but a warm, blissful feeling inside, then it is untrue and should be ignored. From now on only assimilate comments and remarks what makes you overflow with blissful feelings. And if you don't get them enough (How could you possibly get enough?) from others, give them yourself. Here are some of my favourites:
