Levels of acceptance
It seems that one of our greatest tasks in life (and oh boy does it have many faces) is based on acceptance. We must accept our world, the people around us, our lives, our cats (damn it Zealous), and most importantly our Selves.
I think that this has been my biggest area of growth again and again.
For many years, I hardly liked myself...and I think that in many ways this was based upon self acceptance. As is the case for probably many young people...I simply did not know who I was. I looked around me in this world and tried to decide if I fit into this place or into that and for sooooooo long, there weren't any places for me. It's no wonder that I was uncomfortable within my own skin. This has changed over the years.
It is because of the circles of people with whom I surround myself. It is because I've had a few more years to figure things out. It is because I've tried a little bit of this and I've tried a little bit of that and oh yeah baby, I know how to have fun...how to make myself happy...most days ; ).
Hey we only have to accept ourselves...who we are, what we want, and where we are going!
Sounds easy.
