Yesterday my little niece asked me – if I would have second life – who would I like to be? Maybe a cat, a butterfly, some beautiful flower, or maybe some famous actress or president of some country? As she is a little girl and likes to fantasize – I answered that I want to be a fairy who flies every night to children and gives them good health and happy childhood. But then at night I returned to her question and thought of another answer.
Who would I like to be? If I had the second, the third, the hundredth life – I would like to be myself again. What would I change? Nothing! I think that I am good the way I am because all that I have outside (my appearance) was given to me by nature and by my parents. And what I have inside (my education, character, aspiration to new knowledge and a desire to develop myself in new directions) – is a result of my persistent work on myself with numerous renouncements from entertainments.
So I am glad with the result and I love myself the way I am. I heard one day that if you can’t love yourself the way you are – it will be hard for others to love you the way you are. You’ll always have to wear some mask of somebody and will find not your man.
So I wish to all of you – to love! Love yourself first of all and you will see, how the world will start to change around. People will start to be attracted to you and you will notice how beautiful the world is!
With all my heart, Irina
