2 comments you made, I'd like to give my *opinion on
You said:
to be who you are and to love and accept yourself
even if you're "just a guy".
I wish I could do it -
to find out what I am, where is my place..
Now whether you are referring to self here,
or back to the comment you made about your roommate,
I don't quite understand...
but anyhow here is my opinion based on where you said:
*he is "just a worker"
...
Do you know that he does not already love and accept himself?
You are the one that labeled him in your original post as *just a worker*
That is YOUR view of him/ based on preprogramed society belief since we were
children.
He is in fact just as incredible as you are!!
We are all infinite Spirits and NO ONE is better or greater than anyone.
This is the role he has chosen to live in .. love him for his choice.
*you said*:
Wish I could do it:
Who is holding you back?
no one but yourself.
....
I think that many of us spend more time
focusing on *others*
that we forget to truly love and accept ourselves.
This is a form of mind/ego distracting us from
seriously looking at who we are, and taking time to
*face ourselves* /love ourselves..
(even the areas that society
has led us to believe are failures or flaws)
Sometimes the words we say reflect back to ourselves,
are traits that we are perceiving in someone else,
that we want to bring forth better in our own personality.
The answer to this, is to spend a bit of time,
in quiet.. alone, perhaps under a beautiful tree,
and simply love / yourself, the world, the beauty of everyone
and everything around us..
since it is all part of who we all are anyhow.
(You are just as much a part of me, as I am of you)
.................
*you said* (concerning your sister):
"I'll try to change her negative thinking;"
.....well actually YOU can do nothing about that.
Only she can choose her own path.
Who is to say what is negative or positive? really ?
It is like a magnet.. has 2 sides of polarity.
both must exist or one would completely fall as well.
This earth even is based on gravity thru magnectic field.
If you took away the north pole,
earth might well shoot away into nothing
since there would be nothing to keep us in the gravitaional position
that we are currently in as regards our solar/planet/sun/moon system.
Just accept her as she is..
love her for who she is,
unconditionally.
Her own spirit knows what she needs at this time,
and is far better equipped to bring to her what she needs,
to learn her own life lessons.
*smile* a joke* please,
maybe her being in this pattern at this time,
is also to help you grow as well?
We are all so very intricately connected.
This of itself is too much *wasted thought*
and loss of energy..
when it all boils down to :
Love everyone no matter where they are,
who they are..
see the trueness of their inner soul/spirit..
when you learn to accept everyone (including self)
then I think you will have made the entire world
a better place for us all.
Everything we say and do affects everyone else.
We are like all the individual cells that make up one great body.
Is a brain cell better than a kidney cell?
no .. they each have a separate function
but yet serve the whole.
when both are in harmony, then the body is also.
You are so vitally important to this world,
as is every thing here.
yes, even the darn spiders (lol)
that give me *hell* every summer! rolf!
You may wish to look at this link below,
if you truly want to *help yourself, sister, and others:

May all the wonders of life
be fully enjoyed by you.
With great love,
Thanks for giving me a learning as well,
and the opportunity to share my own feelings
with you.
With deep respect,
