Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb
yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain
from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but
by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in
victory.Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging,
and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might
experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep
self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to
start is with yourself. See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true
blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose.
Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation-to
simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.My definition of success is total self acceptance. We can obtain all of the
material possessions we desire quite easily, however, attempting to change our
deepest thoughts and learning to love ourselves is a monumental challenge.When you're a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world
that can change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one's lack of
self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can't
accept yourself, then certainly no one else will.Happiness can exist only in acceptance.
