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.

When you are in harmony with your inner self, you will be happy.

When you are not in harmony with your inner self, you will be unhappy with yourself.

To reconnect with your inner self, do these two simple things.

Ask yourself, ‘Who am I?’ According to Ron Miguel Ruiz, ‘Asking yourself ‘Who am I?’ means taking the first step back to authenticity, or truth.’ If you have the courage to as ask yourself, ‘Who you are?’, you will learn more about who you really are, what matters to you, your dreams, and why you are where you are.

Embrace who you are. Do not try to separate yourself from the life you created. Don Miguel Ruiz writes, ‘Personal growth does get complicated when we try to distance ourselves from the character we created.’ If you do, it won’t help you.
