On Self-Acceptance

In its simplest meaning, self acceptance is an attitude where you appreciate your self as who you are and who you are not not minding what other people will say.


How can you love your self less? Trying to be someone else for others to see you, for them to notice and appreciate. You tend to live in a world, a world driven by the thoughts of those people around you, a world where you are just a mere actor/actress. Worst is, you became a slave of your own thoughts. Scared of expressing who you are, fearing the people around you, as if they will look less if you show who you really are.

If you keep on looking at yourself like this, you will never see the beauty in you. You will not see your strengths and you will not accept your fears. And your life will just revolve on the idea of pleasing others.

You need to get out of that storm. You need to stop thinking how others see you or think of you. See your self, the inner persona of you. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. You are not made to please others or to look and live with their thoughts. You are created to live your life with love.   To love your self, your imperfections and your differences. Let go all the pretense and begin embracing what you can't do, who and what you are not. Start living as who you are, gaining strength from the love you've found for your self. I tell you, you are stronger if you accept everything in you. Coz nothing matters as long as you believe, trust and love yourself.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. ~Gautama Buddha
