“I am Me. 
In all the 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 so doing, 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.”  (♥)
