Accepting yourself

Acceptingyourself

We often have a clear understanding of all the aspects that are not so appealing in others; we tend to be really forgiving and lenient with ourselves but not so much the same with everyone else. So this is really where it all starts.. we can only understand another soul when we fully understand and accept our own soul.
We have to learn to accept our own faults and mistakes. The most important of all is to learn to forgive yourself, don't beat yourself over something you once had done and now are ashamed of.. sometimes its easier to let your past mistakes control you, but you need to understand that YOU are in control of your thoughts and actions! and by now if you are not.. take control!  
Learn to accept everything about yourself, whether it be your appearance; your mistakes; your height..(lol I hope you're getting the point by now haha) everything and anything about yourself.

When you begin to accept yourself, you are fully aware of the fact you make mistakes on a daily basis; you understand and learn to forgive yourself; you begin to accept your flaws and learn to live with them. The acceptance of yourself allows you to accept the mistakes of others, you learn to forgive others the way you forgive yourself. And finally you come out of the false world of perfection and step into the real world; the world made of imperfect souls striving for perfection but what you choose to ignore is.. you have everything to be thankful for but the media driven "beauty" controls you. You ignore what you have been blessed with all along..
-Your eyes- might not be the shape you want them to be but you can SEE
-Your nose- again might not be how you want to it look but it works!
-your face; your lips.. you have it all and it works perfectly fine!
most importantly
-your life- you're still breathing, aren't you? (well I assume you are since you're reading this lol!)
you have another chance at life every single day, you have a chance to change yourself, if you cant accept yourself for who you are then by all means make a positive change!

Only when you accept your inner and outer self you will be thankful and happy from within.
