My Brand

I am Me. In our world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is branded mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about my brand: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or to my brand. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears, my faults. I own my successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own me, I can know my brand. By doing this I can love me and be friendly with all of my brand. I know there are things about myself that puzzle me, and others but long as I am friendly and love myself, I can look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me and make my brand better. However, I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment is me it is my brand. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be un-liked by me, I can trash those bad qualities, keep the rest, and invent something new to replace what I have trashed to change my brand. 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 out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and because I own me, I can change me, I am the only one who has control over me to do this. I am me, and I am Okay with me.
