Appreciate yourself

HELEN B. CHILDS

Self-depreciation is heavy baggage, something to unload as fast as possible. We can drop a limited sense of ourselves as we realize our true identity to be the unlimited spiritual expression of God.

Our life mirrors the quality of our thought. There is a distinct correlation between the spiritual good we are perceiving and our well-being As our thought expands to see more of the vast landscape of God's allness, we begin to accept for ourselves a vista of unlimited possibilities.

There is satisfaction and perpetual progress in knowing that we are the living witnesses of God. Mrs. Eddy explains, "The admission to one's self that man is God's own likeness sets man free to master the infinite idea."^{Science and Health, p. 90;}
