Inspiration concerning "Self esteem"

(As always, try sticking yourself in my situation. I write this because I'm sure it has applied to you at some point).

I was worrying about how some guy might like another girl more than me, and I got:

You have a beautiful light. You don't need to be afraid of it.

My response: But I don't feel beautiful. I feel like an emotional wreck. Could you help me comprehend it?

I can't remember the (somewhat brilliant) phrasing but I got something about how... not feeling beautiful is also beautiful, so you don't need to worry about feeling beautiful or not because you are it, no matter what. So this means all this stuff about "self esteem" is just an illusion. It's not real. It doesn't even matter if you have "high self esteem" or not. So in a way self help books are just buying you into the illusion.

It seems whenever people worry or get scared about "OMG what if someone thinks I'm weird/ doesn't like me" type of stuff, it's because they're afraid of their own power (give thanks to the source of inspiration for that).

A week ago, I got this. It pretty much sums up everything.

You are beautiful just the way you are. You don't need to change for anyone, even yourself.

I found the 'even yourself' bit most interesting. It's something I haven't really heard anywhere before.

Also... a week or two ago I was worrying about all the things I had done in the past and I got:

Everything you have done is perfect

Which is so unbelievably nice to know.

I hope you guys found the information as liberating as I did =)

Lots of love!
