Self Acceptance


 As human beings, we sometimes have not understood who we are. Why? It can happen when we only observe someone's good luck without considering they also have bad luck which we do not know.

Many people try to imitate others who are famous, their idols. Imitating in getting success in goodway is okay, but imitating only  in the appearance is not  good. 

We know from the tv or newspaper that there were many people who suicided themselves. The committed suicide would not happen if the people could accept themselves as what they were. The acceptance in this case the form of growth, development and the results of doing something. Maybe, some of you say" But if I accept myself exactly as what I am, I will only stay at home all day long without doing anything. I just sit in front of TV".

Stop, and say to yourself "I accept myself exactly as I am", and notice what happens. Some people immediately get a sense of peace and calm, while others experience internal arguments and discomfort. Whatever happens for you, don't fight it; accept it. Some people use the headline of 'positive thinking' to deny the reality of the current situation. This makes matters worse. Acceptance is the opposite of denial.

Paradoxically, when you accept things as they are in this moment (including yourself), you put yourself in the most powerful position to create change.

If you are finding something particularly difficult to accept, accept that you've been finding it difficult. If you get captured by strong emotions, accept that. You can accept yourself exactly as you are.  Don't think about others too much.

Have a fantastic day.

Hopefully, it can help us recieve ourselves as we are. Forgive me if I have mistakes.
