Replies to 'Defining Your Authentic Self'

 You're on the right track. We don't have to achieve big things to be worthy of love. For our very own self love, which is the foundation for all the love we have to give to others, we only need to be alive and breathing. We are concsious, this makes us human, therefore we owe it to ourselves to have an unshakable regard for our lives. If it's easier to see it in terms of God loving us, therefore we should love God's child also, do it that way.
When we love ourselves we don't allow others to tear us down, and we guard against those who would do just that. When we love ourselves we make better choices for ourselves.
Congratulations and keep on going.

Thank you for understanding.  I realize that I'm very harsh on this board, and I have my reasons.  If some can understand without judging me,  that's great.  If not, as the old Black Sabbath tune goes: "It's Heaven and Hell." 

  

I guess that Ronnie James Dio was right.  I  A M a "Rainbow in the Dark."
