Charlie Chaplin Wisdom

Charlie Chaplin Once Said….
“As I began to love myself
I found that anguish and emotional suffering
are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is Authenticity.

As I began to love myself
I understood how much it can offend somebody
if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right
and the person was not ready for it,
and even though this person was me.
Today I call this Respect.

As I began to love myself
I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me
was inviting me to grow.
Today I call this Maturity.

As I began to love myself
I quit stealing my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects
for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness,
things I love to do and that make my heart cheer,
and I do them in my own way
and in my own rhythm.
Today I call this Simplicity.

As I began to love myself
I freed myself of anything
that is no good for my health –
food, people, things, situations,
and everything that drew me down and away from myself.
At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is Love of Oneself.

As I began to love myself
I quit trying to always be right,
and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is Modesty.

As I began to love myself
I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became avaluable ally. Today I call this connection Wisdom of the Heart.

We no longer need to fear arguments,
confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide,
and out of their crashing, new worlds are born. Today I know: This is Life!”
