Self Acceptance

Sometimes things come along that are so apropos, so utterly perfect; they can stand on their own.  Someone very dear to me posted this on my facebook page.  

I think it says anything and everything I could say tonight.  Let me know what you think!

Self-acceptance-- Don’t compare yourself with anyone else. The only thing that you will be the best at is being yourself. Don’t compare your self to yourself of what you once were or what you will become. The only place you can truly live is in the Now. Accept that you are wise and foolish, knowledgeable and ignorant, kind and cruel, loving and vengeful….. You are uniquely you. Ask your self questions to get the answers you both desire and despise. All in all accept yourself, not as how others would have you to be or how you would want yourself to be, but how you are right now. This is the beginning of love. To know self is not always pleasant but it is what it takes to love one’s self
