Accept yourself. Acceptance is not about other people. It is not about what you have. It is not about where you work. It is not about where you live. Acceptance is not about things.
It is about life, how we live our lives. Acceptance is life. It is love. It is care. When we accept who we are, we feel better about ourselves. When we accept who we are, regardless of what is happening in our lives, when we accept who we are, we are telling God that He has done a great job, that we are good enough, no matter what.
Remember that not everyone is going to accept you. That is okay. You are not going to accept everyone, anyway. But what is really important to you, to your life, to your career, to your future, is that you accept yourself.
If you do not accept who you are, you are telling the world that you are not good enough, that the world should do whatever it will with you. That is not how to live. To live is to be proud of who you are.
When you are broke, be proud of yourself. Accept yourself. When you are alone, be comfortable with yourself. When no one cares, care about yourself. When you feel lost, find your way back to where you started. Because it is never too late to start again. That is life! It is about starting again.
But to start again, you have got to accept the person you see in your mirror every morning. If not, no one is going to take you seriously.
