How do you define yourself?

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.” ~ Harvey Fierstein

When we accept ourselves, as we are. Right now. In this moment. No matter where we might fit on a social hierarchy or sliding scale of judged humanity, we tap the root of our own being. We may not know this root is even there but it predates our birth. It is coded into the sperm and egg that became you and me. Trust it is there. That is enough.

Now define yourself from this perspective. Let your life bloom forth from this root and let no one crowd your right to sun and rain and earth and your place on this planet. There are no victims but the ones who cut off their own roots through hate and judgment. Never mind, they just haven’t allowed themselves to be yet.
