爱自己
Love of Self
佚名 Anonymous
When I was younger, I thought that to love one’s self was
vanity and not a virtuous trait. As I have grown older, that belief
has passed away, as have so many others. There is a vast deviation
between being vain and loving one’s self.
We are all in this world together striving for more or less
the same things. To conduct and have our lives count for something.
To love and be loved. To laugh and... yes, to cry.
We seek shelter, nourishment, a mate, warmth, clothing,
family, friends; we seek approval, love and self-esteem. We are all
imperfect. Often during our search we forget to simply enjoy what
life is. We become so caught up in what could have been, what
should be, what might be, that many of our today’s are lost. Let
yesterday rest, live for today, hope and dream for your
tomorrows.
If there is some part of you that lessens your self-image,
some part of you that prevents you from loving yourself, change it,
for only you can. Life is filled with things we have no control
over, but ourselves, we can control. You are the clay, you are the
sculptor and you have the ability to create a masterpiece. The
shape and form are there. You have only to refine the work.
Is the task an easy one? No. There will be sips and flaws
and you will be required to work and rework just as a sculptor must
rework the clay before the piece is completed. Should the sculptor
throw out the piece condemning it as worthless because of a blemish
or nick? Of course not, where then would all the world''s treasured
art be? I doubt we would have any. How many masterpieces do you
think have been created in one fell swoop, a first effort
completely successful without error, without change? Is it possible
we fail to see that mankind is the most marvelous of all works of
art? A living, continuous, developing work of art.
How often have you heard the question “what is the human
race coming to”? The answer, in my mind at least, is whatever we
make it, for we are the weavers of tomorrow. You are a treasure,
beyond price, one of a kind, irreplaceable. Not perfect but well on
your way to being a masterpiece. Do not let your yesterdays hinder
tomorrow’s achievements.
