Tell me one thing you really LOVE about yourself....

[marky]

im strong willed and confident in this physical world.

but im on the flip-side, im searching for more. like VGER from the original Star Trek movie, im asking "Is this all there is, is there nothing more?"

im a seeker.

[AndyMartin]

I love that I am.

I look in the mirror and it astounds me that somehow, some awareness has made its way into a physical manifestation that is me.

I can't say I really know what that means or what I am -- I never have. I've always had a hard time identifying with anything about me, which left me searching for an identity, or searching for what an identity is.

But recently, I've come to love the fact that I am.

[Marc Greve]

My unfailing ability to see beauty in the smallest things.

Think American Beauty, people

[openeyes]

Only one? I love to kiss, cuddle, and give great massages, to be able to come to a friend’s aid when he calls me at 2 am. I have a great smile, and laugh a lot. When learning how to walk as a baby, whenever I fell I’d laugh and get back up. That continues to be my response to most things: if I drop a plate or make some little mistake I’m more likely to laugh than anything else.

There’s no point in feeling bad just because something “bad” happened (I usually just call something interesting and choose to learn from it). If one has to deal with a mess one might as well enjoy it. Life is fun. Also I love being creative. There are so many things to discover and create in the world, patterns to recognize and build from, essays to write, songs to sing, tools to create, businesses to found. Oh, and I love hugs too:

YouTube - Free Hugs Campaign. Inspiring Story! (music by sick puppies)

Basically, I love seeking out, creating, and sharing beauty with others, and knowing that we will never stop growing.

[Marc Greve]

Gasping Gods, openeyes, you're brilliant.

I think I'll start enjoying messing up now. Thank you!

[John Wesley]

I have an incredible memory, not necessarily for details, but for experiences. By far the best of anyone I know. You might ask how I know that, but I just do.

[Erki]

I have a good memory for names and faces. Looks like many people don't have it very good so I should be grateful.

[Gabriel.B]

I love that I've decided to grow in every aspect of life and become the best I can and that I help others do the same

[da1prophet]

I'm not one to toot my own horn, but since I guess this is the point of this thread here goes ; )

It's taken me most of my life, but I'm fortunate to be at the point that most of what others might consider "liabilities" I consider strengths....

I love to help people with their problems, big and small. There's nothing I enjoy more than helping others with problems and not expecting anything in return. From a business standpoint, this is a good way to network but I really just consider it good karma.

I'm really smart and a very good writer. I have a very well rounded intelligence. I have the ability to assimilate and process information input better than anyone I know.

I can take a punch well, both literally and figuratively. I've been able to go through some bad life experiences without losing my humor, compassion and general optimism.

Overall, I love the fact that I can't think of any major personal liabilities. Whether this is perception or reality is up for debate, but its definitely a better way to live than to always worry that you don't measure up in some way.

[Mitalp]

Angela, I know you said one thing, but there's so much I love about myself, I hope you don't mind if I share two. I love my loving and caring heart and my understanding.

Mital

p. s. Great thread!

[dpgiffin]

I love the fact that I can do things with extreme consideration for others, but can also turn around and be completely selfish when I need to.

Everyone should be selfish from time to time.

[dmaterialized]

When I choose to, I love people so much it blows them away-- and sometimes changes their life for the better. I really love the fact that I can do that for others.

And that I live as much as I can in a state of near-total awe-- that I find beauty in everything and every moment.

[stacey]

I don't always help everyone. When I do help someone it makes me feel good about myself.

[annie]

I love that it only takes me 10 times to learn something (repeat, repeat, repeat!)

[Steve Pavlina]

For some reason I found this a hard question to answer, and then I realized it was the "about" part that was throwing me.

So my answer is that I just love for its own sake. No "about" is necessary.

[Mark Lapierre]

Awww but it's fun listing stuff

I love the way my mind produces alternate meanings and contexts for words that I encounter, allowing me to come up with puns that amuse me endlessly (though sometimes they're quite cringeworthy )

I love that I can completely ignore certain proscriptions when they would otherwise interfere with my enjoyment (though I do try to ensure doing so would do no harm). (in other words, "only one thing I really love? phbbbt!" )

[Angela]

Mark, who said anything about ONLY one thing? Give it ALL to me!

Especially the puns; I love 'em. Do you know why dogs can't dance?

[Mark Lapierre]

They've got two left feet

I love that I enjoy dancing, and learning new dancing styles, despite my left foot sometimes thinking it's a right hand, and my right foot thinking it's above all this flailing about, just wanting to lie back and be fed peeled grapes by scantily clad female appendages.

[Megan]

I love myself because sometimes I split myself in parts in order to love parts of myself better than other parts of myself, so I think it's lovely that I love the part that judges and I love the lovely and grungy parts as well, and I love that Steve pointed that out so we can all love the whole as well as the parts.

No wait, you can't love the whole without splitting yourself to...oh heck...back in the swamp.

We are the world, we are the people; I am love, we are love.

[ElizaJ]

I don't know what I love about myself. But one of the things I feel good about is my ability to have unconditional love for someone. But the sad thing about that is that most people take advantage of me and walk all over me, so I think perhaps I need to balance that aspect of myself with something else.

[Glass Joe]

This probably sounds dumb and SpongeBob-ish, but over the weekend I was "puking my guts out" because I think I got some kind of stomach virus, or maybe food poisoning, or something else like that.

And even though I was dizzy, shivering, sweating, my vision was blurry, and I felt pretty much miserable all weekend long, every time I had to go toss my cookies (and sometimes I missed the target!) I'd yell out "Way to go stomach! You show that virus who's boss!"

I'm so SOOOOOOOO grateful for my current level of health, my immune system, and my vision. And I love that I have a stomach that watches out for my well-being, even though I may be careless about germs sometimes and feed it unhealthy foods.

[Yellow]

I love how I am being so much more proactive about things in my life.
I love how happy I am these days.
I love how I am taking risks and pushing boundries.
I love how I am growing and learning from my experiences.
I love how I have grown a tiny bit more different from my usual hang out crowd.
I love how I have been letting go of some of my addictive habits.

[Lynn 007]

I love the fact I can find humour in most situations.
