LOVE YOURSELF.

        everyday as we rise in the morning we face a choice, we set our intentions for the day. and with these subtle decisions we create the course of our future, and what a heavy responsibility that is to have a hand in ones own fate. we may not've of know when we were young the power that truly resides within us. back then we had to be the victims of undesirable repercussions. had we only considered our actions with more scrutiny, but no we were to late; we've been scorned, yelled at & punished all because we didn't think twice, which unwittingly was the choice we made. but ahh there's no greater teacher than experience itself. I didn't know it then but the path I was on and choices I would soon make would have a dramatic effect on the outcome of my life
.
        during the course of my life I have made many  choices, for example when I was about twelve it was revealed to me that the trials I were to face in the coming years could only make me stronger, that all good things take time, and that everything happens for a reason. it was my choice to believe such thoughts and in doing so I have become the optimistic guy I am today. it was when I reached fourteen I learned the power of these certain agreements, I began to see how many of us with our dubious mindsets have fallen into a pit of deception despair & imitation. Much like the one I've sprung from. it seems to me, an apparent truth that all great minds stem from a place of great suffering, and sorrow. however it is from this place I was able to flourish. I reached a point where I started to challenged every thought that was a hindrance to my happiness. I've worked so hard to fill a gaping hole in my heart with the only genuine love I could find. My own, a love that came in abundance. this wasn't easily done, but after I've made the decision to love myself it became progressively easier. I let go of pointless thoughts I began to focus more on the nurturing of my own mind, body & soul. In turn I've learnt how to love myself.  Now this decision alone has drastically changed my life.

       Choosing to love yourself is the single most important decision you could make in your entire life. a wise man once said you don't have to be accepted to accept yourself. Don't worry what other people think. some people go there entire career with out learning to respect themselves. & that's why they cant respect others these are the oppressors of the world, we must fight back with love, unconditional love, les unleash the power of love into our lives, into our family, its infinite, free to share, after all we are alive! and to be alive is to know love... all of life binds together, survival is assured as long as that remains true, we must not forget the connection we have with mother nature & all that she has given to us, only by respecting all of earths living creatures could we ever repay her. love is what binds us all together, its what makes life worth living. So trust me its worth loving yourself, your worth it, never give up, Our work is  not done we must till we land rid it of its weeds so that a garden may flourish.

Emersons Self Reliance.

Something ive learned when analyzing Emeresons letter on Self Reliance is that all humans on earth  have the ability to be creators. emerson goes on to refer to every man as his own star, meaning that each & everyone of us have a devine connection to our higher self. We should leave behind our preconcepions & all things conventional. He also states that children are true geniuses simply because the are not held back by there own lack of faith, kids they're fearless they dare to dream. Emerson believes men are ashamed of the devine idea that they represent, that men only but half express themeslves. Emersons idea of a truly formidable man is one that is unique.
