Your Relationship with Self

So much of our lives is spent dealing with others. But the one constant in all of those relationships is us. Or more particularly, our relationship with ourselves.

Most of the time we ignore it, and think little of how we treat ourselves, much less the processes that are going on inside us. Yet, don't they shape our attitudes and beliefs with which we greet everyone else?

The spiritual path is little more than the gradual transformation of our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. It doesn't take a spiritual guru to tell us those relationships change and evolve with our experiences in life. Most of the time it happens with little thought. But sooner or later, we get to the point we're not happy with what we're getting, so we start to become aware of its operations, and try to manage it accordingly.

So, if you want your world to change, in particularly to have more harmonious and loving relationships with others that support and nurture what you want to reflect in the world, wouldn't a good place to start be to look at your relationship with you?

So, how do you see and deal with yourself?
