But from what I've learned about acceptance in general, accepting your situation does not mean you have to like it. I have also heard that acceptance helps make it easier to change if you want to. Anyway, I'm sorry that you are struggling with your self esteem and I hope that you can find a way to feel better, even if just small ways. There are a lot of ways to feel better, from self care to facing your fears and making bigger changes.

yes I do have fears and I still have to face them. I cannot change my career.. this is my career and it's been years I have been building my resume in this field (I've done a lot of effort btw). But for example, I know I could do an effort to look better (lose weight a bit and look better).. I guess that will punch up my self-esteem a bit. But I am lazy and not motivated. I am waiting my life to fall into place before I am motivated... but I guess I will have to face this and start doing something about it (I already got my subscription to the gym! so... it's just up to me
but I found a way to accept my career.. I guess I am still useful to the lawyer I work with and to the people in the lawsuits. this job has still to be done by someone... so I guess it's ok.
Thank you for you kind words
it helps.. and I will do my best
