I've read and applied a great deal of "self-help" philosphies in my day. The one philosophy of all philosophies in my opinion is the Bible and the word of Jesus Christ. When you accept the fact that God (Jesus) loves you so much then you start to love yourself and accept yourself. God has taught me that I am perfect the way I am. God doesn't make mistakes (yea this is corny but true). Before, I use to throw my hands up in the air and say, "what is the use or purpose of life". However, when you start to read the "word" you realize that everyday matters and you must live for today, not worrying about tomorrow or what you don't have. God taught me that we need to live with our hands out and hands unclinched. The opposite would be to take and to have your hands clinched ready to take anything at the expense of others. |
