‘Accepting yourself unconditionally does not have to mean that you become arrogant.’- David Bonham-Carter

It means you are okay with who you are, no matter what.

When you accept yourself for who you are, you must watch out for these things:

‘You may lose some of your drive because you feel you don’t have to prove yourself so much.’- David Bonham-Carter

You do not have to prove yourself to other people. But if you want to achieve success in your life, always prove yourself to yourself.

‘You may become lazier.’- David Bonham-Carter

If you are tired, don’t stop, keep going.

‘You may become inconsiderate or disrespectful of others if you go to the extreme of not valuing the opinions of others at all or thinking that you are completely self-sufficient.’- David Bonham Carter

It is okay to love yourself, to accept yourself, but do not forget the people around you. They are human beings. They matter. Remember that.

Trying to change who you are is a waste of time. You are who you are for a reason. If you want to be at peace with yourself, if you want to live in harmony with yourself, if you want to be comfortable with yourself, you have got to accept yourself.

According to David Bonham-Carter, when you accept yourself unconditionally,

‘You may feel happier, because you do not feel so much pressure to achieve or to be a certain way.’

‘You are unlikely to get so despondent if you fail to achieve a particular goal.’

You may well be better able to make decisions for yourself because you do not feel that your worth is reliant on the opinions of other people.’

You do not experience the stress of frequently comparing yourself to other people or to excessively high standards.’

He is right. Self-acceptance is the beginning of success. If you do not accept who you are, you will never be happy with yourself.

Self-acceptance brings peace and harmony. To connect with your inner peace, you MUST accept yourself for who you are.
