Daily Philosophy
- My well-being is important
- It is fair to share the load
- I don't do my part well when:
- I'm sick
- I'm tired
- I'm stressed out
- I haven't addressed my daily needs (physical, social, mental, etc)
- When I don't do my part well, my family suffers
- If I don't address my daily needs, I can't do my part well
- If I'm not happy, I can't do my part well
- I'm not happy when:
- I haven't addressed my daily needs
- I have to hide myself instead of being myself
- I'm living in a hostile environment
- Not enough acceptance of who I really am
- Not enough security
- Too much work / too little rest
- If I'm not happy then my family suffers, and so do I
- When I'm not happy I can become happy by:
- Addressing my daily needs
- Being myself with someone who accepts me
- Getting help with the hostile environment (help with work, listening to me talk about myself, etc)
Philosophy of Identity
- My identity is permanent and unchangeable
- I am the same me that I was as a child, and will be when I am old
- My identity cannot be seen directly by anyone but me
- I can choose to reveal myself or hide myself at will
- Even when I reveal myself, others might not be able to see me
- This is their limitation, not mine
- My identity is divine
- My identity is love
- I know myself, because I know that I love
- My actions are not part of my identity
- My body is not part of my identity
- My brain is part of my body, and is not part of my identity
- My knowledge is not part of my identity
- My skills are not part of my identity
- My past is not part of my identity
- My mistakes are not part of my identity
- My accomplishments are not part of my identity
- Other people's opinions are not part of my identity
- What other people do to me does not change my identity
- It can hurt me and make me want to hide, but I am still me no matter what
- Other people often don't know who I am
- Even people who know me well don't know everything about me
- Some people say they love me, but I know that some of them don't really know who I am
- Some people say they love me, but I know that they don't know themselves well, and don't really understand what love is
- Some people say they love me, and they really do, but they only love the little part of me that I have shown to them
- Some people say they love me, and I know that they do, but I don't know why they know who I am, because I never told them. But they just seem to know.
- Some people who are close to me should love me, but don't have much love to give. When I think about it I might feel hurt, but I might also see that they are afraid and don't know much about their own identity.
