“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”

Does anyone remember that song, “My Sweet Embraceable You”, or am I entering a generation gap with the readers here? I don’t remember all the verses, but the chorus went like this…

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you — my heart grew tipsy in me;
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all
I want my arms about you.
Don’t be a naughty baby,
Come to papa — come to papa — do!
My sweet embraceable you.

After the article on the 29th, (I’m even using the same picture today) I feel some need to keep writing about all those things that can make us feel good about ourselves. And, remember, how you feel has a lot to do with how you’ll think — and how you think and feel will have a lot to do with how your life will go.

How often do you complain about yourself? How often do you catch yourself putting yourself down? Do you forget that you are unique? You are one of a kind, you know. As the song says, you are irreplaceable. There is no one else like you in the entire universe. You are magnificent — and you should acknowledge that in yourself. One way to do this is to NOT compare yourself with other people.

It’s our nature to want to see how we measure up to others. However, have you noticed that when you’re making those comparisons that it’s usually with someone you think is better than you — or who has more of something you would like to have? What a waste of time that is, don’t you think? There is no one like you and that makes you incomparable.

Why do we do that?

“Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you.”

I think we do that because it’s easier than taking responsibility for how we’re living up to our own standards. Each of us has special gifts. We are all here in this life for specific reasons — reasons that are unique to us. My reason for being here is different than yours. I’m here to learn certain lessons so that I can fulfill my life’s purpose — as are you — only your lessons aren’t precisely the same as mine. When you truly think about that, you come to realize that comparing yourself to anyone else isn’t too wise, since you don’t have any idea what they’re here to learn or what purpose in life they need to fulfill. All that worrying about how you’re matching up is a huge waste of your energy.

Instead, why not accept who you are? Why not learn to appreciate those special attributes and talents that are unique to you? Once you can learn to realize that every single person is “on their own unique trip” — that their “trip” is different from your “trip” — you’re a lot less likely to be focusing so much on what other people are doing. Take a good look and realize that your uniqueness is of great value. When you value yourself, you will bring out the best of yourself.

When you bring out the best of yourself, you’ll feel good — you’ll think good thoughts — and you’ll attract more of the same to yourself.

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

Dear Friends,

On January 23, 2007, I had the good fortune to be on a phone conversation with Neale Donald Walsch. What an inspiring interview this was with this best-selling author of the “Conversations With God” series of books. Maybe you’ve heard about him or his books. I’ll bet many of you have.

Neale Donald Walsch never wanted his life story to become a movie — but now it has — and it will be the featured film in the February 2007 DVD for the members of the Spiritual Cinema Circle, of which I am one. I encourage you to join me and become a member today so that you can have this wonderful film to keep and to share with your family and friends — CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD.

(Today is the last day of January, so be sure to join during the month of February so you can have this wonderful movie to enjoy and share. And, the first month of your membership is free — postage only! So, do it today!)

Neale Donald Walsch didn’t “ask” to write a book, let alone have a movie made about his life. He certainly had no intention of writing 22 books, or becoming the New York Times best-selling author of the “Conversations with God” series. Neale Donald Walsch was just a man down on his luck, out of answers, and in desperate need of help, who cried out to God.

And God answered.

In what became a series of late night “conversations,” God revealed himself to Neale in an utterly earth shattering way. Walsch posed an endless stream of questions about life’s mysteries and uncertainties, and just like that, God illuminated the answers, one by one, to all of Walsch’s desperate cries. Walsch filled dozens and dozens of legal pads recording these conversations, and their messages became the basis for an internationally acclaimed book series that has sold over 7 million copies and been translated into 34 languages, and now –— a major feature film — CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD.

CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD is an original production of The Spiritual Cinema Circle, a DVD club that delivers inspiring and uplifting films – features, shorts, and documentaries – directly to your door. The Circle finds fascinating films from festivals around the world…films that will open your heart, stir your soul, and expand your mind.

Now, members of The Circle are receiving CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD. as part of the February 2007 DVD which also includes three outstanding short films. For a limited time, new subscribers to The Circle can receive a free trial membership (you pay a minimal shipping fee) by visiting: http://www.spiritualcinemacircle.com/.

If there ever was a great time to do this, it’s today.

Shanti,

Ron
