Happiness is not the way to self-acceptance. Self-acceptance is the ONLY way to true happiness. There is no other way to say it. You cannot be in a happy state if you don’t acceptance yourself.
If you don’t accept yourself, there is nothing that can make you really happy. Your big bank account won’t do it, your fancy degrees won’t do it, your fine car won’t do it, spending time with your friends won’t do it, drinking and partying all night long won’t do it. The only way to true happiness is when you have the courage to accept yourself, regardless of ALL your weaknesses, your financial records, where you live, or where you work.
Regardless of how you look, where you work, or where you live, ALWAYS accept yourself. Believe in yourself. Why is it necessary to accept yourself?
Because if you are not happy with yourself, you won’t be happy with other people. You will be in an unhappiness state for the rest of your life. You will not be happy with your job, with your spouse, with your pet, with your nice home in Florida (if you have one there). In order to enjoy your possessions, you must first accept yourself for who you are, not for what people want you to be. There is only ONE you on earth. You can ONLY be your REAL self. And that real self is who you should be if you are to enjoy your life.
To conclude with Dr. Robert Holden’s quote: “Nothing can make up for a lack of self-acceptance.” Accept yourself, and you will find real happiness.
To get what we want from life, we must first know what we want. Most people want something but they don’t know how to get them.
You will be successful if you know what you want.
You will be successful if you know how to get what
you want.
You will be successful if you focus on getting
what you want.
You can get what you want if you believe you can. Napoleon Hill said, “You can do it if you believe you can.”
You can really be successful if you can just do more than you are paid to do. Do more than you are paid to do. Don’t do what others are doing. Do what you think is right, and what will push you closer to your dream. Again, Napoleon Hill said, “Render more service than that for which you are paid and you will soon be paid for more than you render. The law of ‘increasing returns’ takes care of this.”
Let us look at more ways you can get the best that
you so much deserved in life.
Take
responsibility.
When you take responsibility for your actions, you
are giving yourself power to conquer other bigger and more challenging things
ahead of you. But if you blame other people for your actions, you are giving
your power away. Don’t blame anyone. Take responsibility for your actions.
“You must accept responsibility for your actions, but not the credit for your achievements.”- Denis Waitley
Act!
To get what you want in life, act! Don’t wait for
the perfect time to do it. Do it today. If you don’t take action to change your
life, your life will not change.
“Don’t watch the clock, do what it does. Keep going.”– Sam Levenson
Stop
procrastinating.
Your success will not come from putting important things
off until tomorrow. Your success will come from doing the first and the most important
things first. Don’t procrastinate.
Arthur Ashe said, “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
Failure
is not final.
If you fail at something, don’t take it as final.
It is not final, and it will never be. It is okay to fail when you are finding
the right path to success. If you want to be successful, you must be
comfortable with failure.
As Margie Warrell put it, “Just because you fail at something does not mean you’re a failure.”
Be
patient.
It takes 10- 20 years to be lucky. If you want to be lucky, you must be patient. Success goes to those who are patient, not those who are always running. Be patient. Success is a process, not by accident.
“Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.”– Arthur Ashe
Think
positively about things.
No matter what is happening around you, focus on
the positive things. When you focus on positive things, you will attract
positive things into your life. When you focus on negative things, you will attract
negative things into your life.
“We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.”- Dag Hammarskjold, economist
Everything is possible if you want it badly. Focus on what you want and you will get it.
