Self-Acceptance

"One must accept their humanness and their godliness."

It is easy to accept the aspects of yourself that you like. Perhaps you have beautiful eyes, quick wit or are athletic. Or maybe you are good with numbers, musically talented or make friends easily. These aspects are easy to accept. What about those others? Perhaps you are unorganized, grumpy in the mornings, lousy at math, or uncoordinated.

Self-acceptance of the good, the bad, and the ugly is a pre-requisite to self-love. Without self-acceptance there is no self-love. Without self-love it is difficult to give and accept love from others.


All aspects of you are serving you on your soul journey. Love all of who you are. Be kind and gentle to yourself. The irony is as you practice self-acceptance, you will find the aspects that you disliked so much have less control or prominence in your life!


Affirmation:  I AM... Self-Acceptance.  I love all of Who I AM.  I let go of all judgment.  I accept all parts of myself.  I am gentle and kind to myself.  I AM... Self-Acceptance.
