The Most Important — In a Perfect World
# 3. My best friend

Much of what I have learned about positive thinking emanates from my mother (94th birthday this August). She’s a wonderful person and has always been.
She never complains, she never talks about other people negatively. She gives from herself, all the time, always.
She inspires me to write, she’s in many ways or part of much of my writing.
After my last visit yesterday I was again inspired to write. My goal with this piece of writing is to create small text blocks — aphorisms? — that says something which I feel is important about life and existence.
I stand alone
I am someone who stands alone. I am a loner. I stand by myself. I can live with that. I am even satisfied with it. I know I can be lucky. I can even be happy with myself. My own company.
High up and deep down
I admit it, I know of ups and downs. I am used to it. I can feel incredibly high. Then the next day I can feel down. I’m stuck so badly down in the gray, in the mist of my soul, when I feel uncomfortable, when I feel this bad.
Fear
Are you afraid of something? What are you afraid of? I don’t think I feel fear any longer. I suggest you ask this question: Do you give fear space in your life?
Friends
Do I have friends? Certainly, yes. I am my own best friend. But other friends? Other people, yes. There are people who are at a distance. People I see, people who see me sometimes. But not all the time.
My best friend
I stand alone. I stand by myself, I trust myself. I am my best friend. I am not my own enemy. So I am not? Excuse me, yes I know I can also be my own enemy. Things can happen, I can do silly things. Sometimes I don’t take good enough care of the nearest ones, of myself.
Choices
Choices are decisive for quality of life. What you eat, what you drink, exercise. And you need to take good care of your mental health. You should train your mind to be creative for a healthy life. Activity is a key for a good life, mental activity and physical activity.
Important
What’s important? When I’m down, what helps me and keeps me up? How can I be strong? The key is to see yourself, to see others near you, and know you’re seen by others.
Inside
Everything is inside of you. There is no power in the world that can make you happy if you’re not there for yourself. You must see yourself. You must like what you see. You must show yourself generosity, compassion.
Compassion and kindness
With others always show compassion and kindness Always do what is possible to reduce contempt in relations with other people
Love
Meeting someone and falling in love is a gift from yourself to yourself and from that other person to you. Happiness is to feel the love inside of you towards the other person, and to feel the love coming from that other person towards you.
