Understand that the thing in you that makes those parts of you possible, the things about yourself that you don't like, is never going away. You are always going to be able to be weak or stupid or ugly or annoying or whatever else it is that you're trying not to be. Along with the power to succeed comes the power to fail, and you cannot have one without the other. You have the power to fail, and you cannot be free of the pickers until you understand that. |
I completely disagree with this.
Accept yourself yes, but inspite of things you donīt like of yourself, not because of them.
Love yourself including the bad and the ugly, but that does not mean that you have to accept them. You CAN change anything and everything about yourself as long as you WANT to.
I disagree about having to accept negativity. People say I always see the positive side and I donīt live in the real word... well... that is ok for me. I like my version a whole lot better
