I think its imperative to practice acceptance and not just self-acceptance....but acceptance of your circumstances as well. It does not mean we stop trying to improve etc....it just means stop hitting your head against a brick wall........be content, find serenity, let go;.....the rest will come maybe, but now its about the present, and our acceptance of what is, and what is around us and of who we are!!


"Self acceptance is being loving and happy with who you are NOW. Some call it self-esteem, others self-love, but whatever you call it, you'll know when your accepting yourself cause it feels great. Its an agreement with yourself to appreciate, validate, accept and support who you are at this very moment, even those parts you’d like to eventually change. This is important...even those parts you'd eventually like to change"
