self-acceptance

I kept waiting for the part where I__ finally know who I was _ some flashing, neon moment of relief, but it never came.

The Fall will always be yours and mine_

He looked at me, that first day, like he had just found something he__ lost a thousand years ago.

I write letters to you that you__l never see.

Time' is the most threatening four letter word.

Life is a daring sacred existence.

I called it a baptism in flaming ink that forced me to shed my shyness about recognizing myself as a poet and to accept the fact that life had never given me any choice in the matter. And then I had to discover exactly what that meant.

How do I structure my life to be at peace with who I am, & comfortable with what I__ doing & not doing?

Of course we need to accept ourselves as we are, but we can't stop there. We also need to value ourselves enough make needed changes.

Self-improvement without self-love is like building a house upon sand. You can build and build, but it will always sink.

Call attention to your strengths instead of pointing out your weaknesses.

The sense of your own experience will grow along with your confidence.

Never believe you are the best, but believe you are one of the best.

Not the kind of person, who believes that it is best to believe "what happened, happened as it should happen" when things don't come as expected.

All forms of writing are an act of conception; writing must lead to creation. Each time that we write, we begin again. Writing is an act of self-affirmation. Each time that we place our thoughts onto paper, we receive a new opportunity to claim our reality. Writing is also an act of explication and deconstruction. Writing empowers us to shape and modify our fiery constitutions. Writing allows us to explore the essential ingredients that lead to a life of serenity by exhibiting compassion, love, patience, generosity, and forgiveness.

Self acceptance is a key factor in life.

Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.

There__ all this pressure in our society to be beautiful, to be strong, to be sexy. So we spend our time and money on trying to become these things. We put on the high heels, the suits, the makeup, the mask. Then, we feel more awkward than confident, so we drink away our anxieties. That doesn__ make us look any sexier _ it just makes us stop caring about how we look.Everyone is beautiful. Everyone is sexy. Everyone is strong. It__ lunacy. We__e all running around trying to become something that we already are.You know what__ really sexy? A person who__ 100% comfortable with themselves. And you know what__ really funny? It is just as time consuming and difficult to learn to accept yourself as it is to pretend to be someone else. The only difference is _ with self acceptance, one day, it__ not hard anymore. One day, you feel like your sexiest, strongest self just rolling out of bed in the morning.You__e either going to spend the little time you have in your life on trying to know yourself or trying to hide yourself. The choice is yours. You can__ do both.And you know what__ really amazing about choosing self-love? You__l be setting an example for all the people around you and all the kids of the coming generation. You__l be part of a revolution to take back the precious moments of our lives out of the hands of shame-inducing advertisers and back into the hands and hearts of real people like you, like me, like all of us.I know you__e dreamt about changing the world. So this is your chance. Learn to love yourself, accept yourself, and unleash your strongest, sexiest self. It__ in there. You just have to believe it.
