Accepting ourselves for what we are

To be somebody
Is to accept ourselves for what we are
And at the same time rejoice
In all the good qualities
We are able to see in other people

To be somebody
Is to be yourself
Without being sufficient in yourself
But to develop your strengths
That all may see what you really are
To be yourself is to try to see something
Positive in your weaknesses
As you try to make them be less visible

    Hi Erling,
    i have to agree with Sexkitten (last commenter), that your poetry rocks and its great that you are still going at it. The poetry, I mean.
    Hey – where are your archives? i wanted to look up January. Are you able to add them to your current design?

    Hi Andrew!
    Thank you very much for your encouraging words! And thanks a lot for pointing out that the archives were not made public! That is now in place!
    The January archive is still with the old blog at Blogspot: http://www.tobesomebody.blogspot.com
    But I have republished all the entries at this new blog at Typepad. The poem I wrote during your session at the Dawn Conference in Bergen can be found on this blog at February 16th or 13th I think.
