What happens when you listen to your own inner voice? Is it a loving voice? When you are in pain, does that voice soothe you, or blame you? Do you try to keep a stiff upper lip to the outside world in order to impress others at your own expense?

If your inner voice is sometimes unkind, answer these three questions:

1) How do you respect yourself for all the good you have done in the world?

2) What are you grateful for?

3) What would you tell a good friend who was in pain?

Just think well of yourself. It not only saves you, but others around you, from endless doubt and worry. Yes - is is a great thing to think well of yourself. Try it right now!
