Do you realize that when you make jokes about yourself, you are often seeking love? How funny to do the opposite of what is needed: to disparage that which is beautiful. Perhaps if you make a joke, then others will not notice your insecurities. You all have them, you know: these feelings, untrue as they may be, that you are somehow separate from the Source, unworthy of Love. Nothing could be farther from reality. This reality that you call “being human” can be oh so challenging, and it becomes even more so when you deride the self. Trust us and repeat as often as necessary: You are so very loved.
