When You Must Accept Yourself

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.

Do Not Just Focus On Yourself

Yes, do not just focus on yourself. The world is bigger than you. If you do not want to disappoint people who are counting on you, if you don’t want to fail yourself, you must break out of your comfort zone.

Get out of your familiar zone. Look out for other people. People need help. Yes, you can’t help everybody, but you can help somebody.

Whatever it is you can do to help yourself, to make the world a better place, do not delay. The world is waiting for you. People are waiting for you to act. People are counting on you. People are rooting for you.

Yes, it is not going to be easy, but you can do it. Make yourself uncomfortable. Do not focus on people you like. Because the world is bigger than those you like. The world is bigger than you. Remember, helping other people is helping yourself. Why not give it a try?
