I am Me. In the entire world, there is no one else exactly like Me. Everything that comes out of Me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it. I own everything about Me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of Me, I can become intimately acquainted with Me. By doing so, I can love Me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle Me, and other aspects that I do not know. But, as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about Me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically Me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of Me. I own Me, and therefore, I can engineer Me. I am Me, and I am Okay.
