Steve Stay sings his favorite Acceptance song

[Beewitcher]

singing along with you to this very piece at least once a day now.. I'll have the lyrics down for sure by next week sometime ;) now I just gotta learn how to play a guitar... or just how to download this song !

[MsJashley123]

Awesome song! I just got a guitar and while Im just a beginner I would love to learn how to play it. Help spread the love message. Can you help?

[stevestay]

@MsJashley123 I found an easy version of the song with chords by searching on google for "chords i love myself the way i am." For some reason it won't let me put the direct link in this reply so I hope you find it.

[MsJashley123]

@stevestay Thanks so much Steve. This is definitely my life path.  Moving towards joy and happiness. What could be better? haha. :)

[alldredge21]

This is by far the best version of this song I've heard, thank you for sharing!

[stevestay]

@alldredge21 Thank you for taking the time to say so.

[24rachel71]

I listen to this at least once a week x

[stevestay]

@24rachel71 Thanks for taking the time to tell me, it feels good to know someone else is being blessed by the song.

Singing to one's self that one is perfect with nothing to change or rearrange is just pure nonsense.

It cannot be true, so it cannot be healthy.

[stevestay]

@bramachari It sure seemed like pure nonsense to me... 'till I tried it.

Thanks again for sharing.

[bramachari]

@stevestay 'till you tried what? How about if I sang this: "Stealing isn't stealing if it gets me what I crave, I only answer to myself, I'm no one else's slave"

Here's a great quote for your from a very wise man (Jim Rohn) who would never kid himself with such idiocy: "Affirmation without discipline leads to delusion."

Please read The Road Less Traveled and The Four Agreements.

You must realized that life is difficult and there is much to work on within ourselves and without.

[stevestay]

@bramachari Thanks again for sharing & clarifying your perspective. From your mention of Jim Rohn, and books by Scott Peck, and Miguel Ruiz, we are likely just at different places on a similar path. My personal, 40 + years experience on the personal growth path, has been that experimenting with total and complete acceptance of what is, as it is, just because it is, has brought me more of the compassion, peace and prosperity I was searching for than any other discipline I have tried.

[bramachari]

Telling yourself you're perfect with nothing to change or rearrange is pure dillusion, seriously sick in the head.

NO ONE is perfect. EVERYONE had plenty to work on and work out.

[stevestay]

@bramachari Thanks for sharing your perspective on this. If seeing things this way is getting you what you want out of life, keep with it.

Thank you so much for recording this wonderful version of "I Love Myself". I am on a healing path and like the old saying goes, when the student is ready the teacher appears. Thank you and abundant blessings to you for sharing your talents with this song.

Thank you for uploading this. You did an amazing job. My grandmother used to sing this to me when I was a child, and it's always helped to cheer me up whenever I was in a dark place. I've never been able to find the original singer though. 5/5 stars and favorited. Keep up the good work.
