I am larger—better than I thought.
I did not know I held such goodness
—Walt Whitman
Reflection
We have somewhere come to believe that we have to
be very hard on ourselves, like harsh parents. It is so
hard for many of us to acknowledge our talents and
our own good nature. So hard to see the goodness in
ourselves as others see it. Take a good look inside
and you will be surprised to see that your own judg-
ment is flawed. You are better than you think and
have a great capacity for goodness. It is your respon-
sibility to see that.
Affirmation
Help me to understand that I am inherently good. Help
me to dispel the idea that I am bad and undeserving.
