I accept myself.

Thursday, March 5, 2015

Today's thought:  I accept myself.

From the writings of Henri Nouwen:

"The greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity or power, but self-rejection."

If we are to effect any changes in ourselves and our circumstances, we must first accept ourselves and those circumstances, view them objectively, and then decide on a course of action.  Whatever mistakes we may think we made were all part of the learning-and-growing experiences of our lives.  When we are able to accept ourselves, in all our humanness, we will more easily be able to accept others in theirs.

Wishing you the blessing of accepting yourself with love and understanding.....and peace and joy, always.
