Funny but I'm sitting here reading your question "How do you accept yourself"
and it is a great question.............
but It is a toughy to answer, at least for me.... because I only know that I do accept myself, however how I got to this point ......... I draw a blank...
it is like I am or was oblivious to the mechanics of it... but it just happened
I can tell you that one thing I really notice which is different for me , and has probably something to do with self acceptance is......... I have no fear of people or death.... it is kind of like 2 huge burdens are just gone....
and as for the fear of people, what that means is, I live unto myself and my principles first and foremost, in those principles I realise there is no competition ... words said to me or opinion of me by others are respected.. but they do not define me... they do not decide who i am ...... so there is strength in knowing this ....
I see myself as a person in progress.... in that I am free to learn all kinds of new things develope new passions, and a love for life and fellow man
I will come back to this if anything else jumps out at me :-)
