Just a request, Accept yourself!
It took a considerable amount of time to understand this little secret of life, Acceptance.
Living life as it come with an open mind and heart, while being mindfulness, being in present moment, it is essential to accept ourselves.
Since the time of mankind, we have been conditioned to not accept ourselves as we are, we need to change, need to grow, improvise ourselves and we are destined to reach somewhere.
When we are a child, seeds of guilt, of being incomplete, is deep routed inside us and as we grow, we are always in constant observations from our own self and others.
As we grow, get old, the baggage of all our guilt and our efforts to be somebody else has such an impact on our life, it’s really difficult to accept that it is ok to be average human being, ok to make some mistakes, ok to fail, ok to live a normal life.
Lotus never tries to be lotus — It is lotus! and it can’t be a Jasmine or Rose.
By accepting ourselves as we are, we moved ourselves out of the rat race of constant improvisation and feeling of discontentment.
Accept yourself, you are not a saint and no need to be one. you are a normal human being with all the natural and materialistic desires, dreams and needs.
you may have some scars inside and outside but underneath the scars we all have the same flow of energy, pure consciousness.
Once we accept ourselves then only we can love ourselves and others.
So once again just a request, Accept yourself!
Astu!
