Oh Boy !

Plant the seed of new
Affirmation
The whole new experience is in this tiny seed
Your mind will
 act like soil
We have to water it with affirmations
And let the sunshine of
Positive thoughts
Beam on it

You also have to
weed the garden by
Pulling out the
Negative thoughts
That come up

And when you first see
The tiniest little evidence 
You don't stomp on it
And say, " That's not enough "

Instead, you look at this
First breakthrough and
Exclaim with glee
" Oh boy ! Here it comes !
       It's working ! "
Then you watch it grow
And become your
Desire in manifestation

Love who and what 
You are
And what you do
You will be surprised
and delighted
When after a few months
of doing
Mental work

You will begin to look younger
To begin with it sounds
Overwhelming but after
a short period of time
Your new way of thinking

Will become as a
Part of your life
You will do it automatically
Like taking shower
And brushing your teeth
Laugh at yourself
And at life
And believe me
Nothing can touch you

Sometimes we work hard
and find
Lot of success still our self esteem is low
and we didn't like or respect ourselves
We don't know why
It means hard work and successful career
aren't enough

We are missing the key ingredients
We don't feel comfortable
with ourselves
because we don't have
 the right combination
It's like opening one of those
 Combination locks

It doesn't work unless
you have all the numbers
When I discovered the missing parts,
my self esteem rose dramatically
It took me long time to figure out
The right combination
I want to help the other people
That was the missing part

All of us need to be told 
from time to time
That we're loved, appreciated and valued
We need our hugs too
It's not only necessary, but fantastic
To be affirmed by other people
But we can't sit around and
Wait for others to applaud us

In order to feel good
We have to do things that
Make us feel good about ourselves
Even without the praise
Then when it comes, it reaffirms
What we're already feeling
It's a great bonus

Other people can do a lot of things
To make us feel good
But, ultimately, how we feel about
ourselves is the direct result of
What we do and what we think
Real self esteem is respect that
We have to earn from ourselves
