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

[Little Deb]

I love that I am still an artist - in spite of being surrounded by a family and society that frowned upon "sissy" creativity. And my art is like no one elses. Yes, I am proud to be eccentric. Although my comic stip was deemed too "subversive for a woman to create" and therefore not marketable, I am the only photographer I know who focuses mainly on still-lifes of colourful soup bowls, etc. This is an expression of my sense of humour and wonder of beauty in "ordinary" things. However, my pix have yet to sell. I also love that my "real job" at DQ is right across the street from my apartment and I only pay $280.00 a month for rent, so I can actually afford to travel and pursue my artistic hobbies because I'm a magnet for "bargains". I love that I'm always frugal. I also love that i am intelligent enough to teach myself to play mandolin and therefore pursue yet another avocation. My mandolin helped me attract my soulmate- another eccentric musician -on a trip to the "Deep South". I don't love that he lives 1500 miles away from me, but he is a man who does actually loves me for all my idiocycasies, instead of complaining that I'm not like "other girls". i love that I am continually finding more things to love about myself, since I am always improving.

[ChrisCountryGirl]

Being organized is one of the things I love about myself. I just like being able to find anything easily because everything has its place.

[Wit and Itch]

That I love.

[bellbird]

your suggestion Angela, very inspiring.
I love about myself the ability to see the best in others and help them wherever I can to grow, support or supply basic things if needed. I love my creativity which is HUGE in my life and I love my inspiration and inspiring others if I can. Life is great!
PS: Oh.. and I like my hair too! It's naturally curly and nice

[Victoria]

I love the idea for this thread. No place for negativity here! I actually could go on for hours here...but the one thing I love best about myself is my need to be honorable (and that has a bit different definition from the tradition one; it includes more love and compassion)

[A.K.Light]

I love how I can completely GRASP the music that I play. My feeling and passion for it. How I don't it back and how I don't hold myself back when I'm doing it. I'm able to completely immerse myself and enjoy it all the way.

Thanks.

thanks!

I love the identity I have found myself to be, that is far beyond all the little and limiting perceptions that have presented themselves to me through both other's views and the thoughts that repeated in my head just enough to absolutely need to find my way past these things. Even my shadow is but a contrasting light. I have actually been created with no biproduct of 'worthless'. What seemed to be such a thing were taught reactions, and not me at all. I am a diamond in the rough.

[jacmac1]

I truly am not a judgmental person, I can have a conversation with a saint and a sinner and not have a single judgment about them. I actually understand both of them intuitively.

I love that about myself!!!

[Alvin]

I love how funny I can be - it's a gift and it's helped me lots in improving my social game.

[KLmasina]

Wow, great idea for a thread... and so hard sometimes, to think of something to love about oneself...

Ok, I love that I've never given up, and I believe in my Self and this World, no matter what...

[Yellow]

I love how I deal with my angry friend without losing my temper and then I try and understand where she is coming from without (entirely) blaming her for being unreasonably angry at me...

[rene_stpierre]

What I love about me is my ambition.

This is what made me successful in my life despite i've never had long term goals and dreams until 1 year ago.

René

[Baldini]

I love my "unbeatable" mentality, determination, ambitions, pace, openness, self-acceptance, ability to solve problems, optimism, self disciplin/stanima and never ending desire to succed....

[Rainbowdazzle]

I love my laugh and I laugh a lot! I'm also very accepting of people exactly as they are....oh and I have the biggest, most beautiful liquid brown eyes and hair as black as night.

[Joel Monk]

I'm constantly wanting to expand and experience. I'm also very warm and welcoming!....

[Green]

would you, please? I would love to hear it, and to be around your love.
thanks![/quote]

Hi Angela,

great question, i love how i can share others their worries and sadness and support them through hard times, i love that most of the time i am understanding and broad minded but i also have a list of things that i hate about myself on the top of the list is that i am not strong enough to achieve my dreams. would you also tell me what you hate about yourself and if any of you have worked on improving your weak points.

Green

[Angela]

Oh, Green, can we please leave that for another thread? I am so loving the positive vibe of What You Love About Yourselves; I wouldn't want to see the beauty of that sullied! OK?

Thanks!
Lots of love,
Angela

[Bloah]

I love when sometimes I come with absolutely astonishing ideas and then how everybody, including myself enjoying doing them.

[starlet]

Everything - I am perfect because I am every expanding and ever changing.

[Smokefish]

I love everything about myself! What I love most (and I am most thankful for) is that I am able to be thankful and think positively about events in my life (that others might view as a negative) because of what I have learned from the experience.

[Tasaio]

I love the fact that I am intensely passionate about stories, fantasy, RPGs, sci-fi, gaming, and languages.

I love the fact that I am willing to learn at my own pace, and not discouraged by others' success.

I love the fact that I am an introvert, independent, and am not a real-life social person, and that I do not *need* other people to entertain me.

I love the fact that I enjoy writing, and am improving every day.

I love the fact the I seek to become techno-savvy.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT I AM A NERD/GEEK.

I got run over by a car when I was young for example which knocked the ability to organize out of my brain.

Now all I have to learn is being grateful for the good times

I admire you spirit that you yourself can face the cruel truth. For me, I always withstand when meeting difficulties.

[Freelancer]

I love that I never give up when the going gets tough.

I love how I can laugh about the little things, go go laughing at the most strangest moments because I saw something interesting thats totally unrelated with what where talking about. For instance while playing a of poker a friend of mine show'd me his cards, I bursted out laughing for no real reason. He ended up doing a redicilous bluff that folded out 4 people, everyone assumed he had a monster hand because I was laughing. I think they are still wondering what I found so funny about his cards...

I love my constant self development, even before I started doing this consciously I was busy improving myself.

And I love this thread, amazing idea. Every forum should have one to bring the love back to everyone.

[m0vingon]

I love my sense of humour, even if no one else does

I love that I am really, really resilient in the face of difficulty and setbacks.

I love that I have drive and goals.

I also love that I enjoy and am good at in depth intellectual conversation- and I surround myself with people who are similar to me in that way.

And, well, I love my hair. But that's a tenuous love because I know that it's only hair and not a cornerstone of my personality.

[Andy]

I love that I can persevere, and keep going through all the tough times I keep finding myself in.
