Self-Acceptance
I am uniquely me.

The world may identify me with a label, such as parent or child, wife or husband, employee or manager. Each label is only a descriptor of a role I play. It is not who I am. I am more than my duties or responsibilities, more than my gender, more than my position in life. I am a spiritual being—special and unique—one of a kind.

I embrace who I am in body, mind, and spirit. I watch for self-judgment or self-criticism that hinder my divine expression. By being who I am, I make a valuable contribution to the world around me. I am confident of my divine gifts, and I share them generously. I accept and give thanks for my uniqueness, recognize my special qualities, and shine my light brightly.
Each has a particular gift from God, one having one kind and another a different kind.—1 Corinthians 7:7

Self-acceptance was a big part of recovery. I am who I am in today. I am not the labels that are self-imposed or projected onto my by others.

Labels are limiting. I have been given many, but it is just a label, nothing more, nothing less. That doesn't mean I can't be me, that I have to accept them, or work through them to be my unique self. Labels can't hurt me, unless I believe them and at on them.
