HONOR - the first Point of Simply An Inspired Life
I Honor My True Self - I grant myself the Honor of being ME. I am unique in all time and space. I am beyond perceived scarcity, obligation, and the need for approval. I am Honored that Spirit has chosen to create ME.
I honor myself by respecting myself, so self-respect, self-worth, and self-confidence are closely aligned to honor. The nature of honor is well expressed in William Shakespeare's words:
This above all, to thine own self be true.
Self-honor - self-respect, is in no way selfish. Before I can give to others, I must have something to give. Only by first creating my own self-esteem and happiness, do I possess the resources to contribute anything meaningful to others.

Thank you for helping me to see that it is important that I am happy, too. Sometimes it isn't about pleasing my husband, my kids or other family and friends. Sometimes it is about myself.........sometimes.
When you come close to death and survive, you learn that there is a real person YOU and you become more aware of the need to care for yourself and look after yourself.
You can spend your whole life worrying about what others think of you, and how to win their love and affection with no thought of your own self-perception or internal happiness. It's never too late to find YOU... even at 41! ;^)
