THE BEAUTY OF THE ART OF SELF-ACCEPTANCE LEADING TO SELF-GROWTH

In this fast paced world we live in, it is increasingly becoming difficult for people to really accept and stay contented with who they are.

We are in a world where competition and perfectionism seems to be the norm. There is a constant need to want to follow the trend or the crowd just to feel accepted instead of standing out being comfortable with who we are.

There is also the perfectly curated social media that makes it easy to see your short-comings, wants and lacks.

Mistakes, failures, difficulties, challenges, bad experiences and the seemingly lack and want are also contributory to making it difficult in accepting who we are. We find it difficult to learn from our past failures, mistakes and bad experiences.

There are no perfect human beings. We all have our good qualities and flaws. We have all experienced failures and successes, ups and downs. 

We've all had our highs and lows at different times in life so why feel like your life is way worse than anyone else's? No one can really and truly boast of having it all rosy. 

Learning to accept who you are, contented with what you have and where you makes life beautiful and until you you truly accept who you are - your flaws and all - you won't see the need to want to improve and grow.

Accepting who you are, where you are and what you have brings calm, peace and some quietness into your life leading to the need to want to improve, grow and succeed in life.

How beautiful and powerful you are comes into play when you first accept who you are and then believe in yourself that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. 

Learning from your mistakes, failures and experiences makes you unstoppable and leads to growth and improvement in your life. 

Accepting who you are, improving certain areas in your life and wanting to become who you desire to be may seem difficult but not impossible to do. All it takes is taking it one step at a time.

You can start by picking a specific area of your life that you most want an improvement on and take it one step at a time. 

Assuming you want to make changes concerning your health in order to be fit, then you can start by taking a walk, a run until you are able to do hardcore exercises.

If you want to make some financial improvements in your life, you can start by making little savings, investments and begin to have multiple streams of income. 

To improve your mind or to have a mental growth, begin by reading sound articles, a chapter of a book a day till you are able to read a book a month and engage in mind puzzling games. 

In all, whatever change you want to make, begin by having daily attainable goals. These daily goals are what eventually gives your life the overall change you desire or seek making you become the greatest version of yourself.

FEW WAYS YOU CAN LEARN TO BEGIN TO ACCEPT YOURSELF 

1. Don't be too hard on yourself. Forgive yourself for every past mistake, errors, failures and bad experiences you may have gone through.  Let go and forgive every hurt, pain, mockeries, criticisms, betrayals and every wrong done to you so you can move on fine. 

2. Be kind to yourself like you would want any other person to treat you. Care and show yourself much love like you would want to be loved. The way you treat yourself will determine how someone else would treat you and how can you love without first accepting and loving who you are. Your flaws are a part of who you are and they are what makes you beautiful and unique. You are perfect in your imperfections.  Every unpleasant thing that has ever happened to you or happening to you right now is meant to bring out your best version. You are not a mistake and your life isn't by accident. It has been preordained by God even before you were born.

3. Believe in yourself  and in your capacity. Be first your own motivation before anyone else. You do not need the validations of people before you see you for who you are and believe that you can achieve whatever you set your heart to. You are uniquely beautiful - a special kind. You do not need to prove yourself or worth to anyone else neither do you need social acceptance before you can live your life to the fullest. 

You are beautiful just the way you are and you can make valuable changes in your life that can bring out the very best in you and make you live your best life. You are as valuable and worthy as any other person on planet earth. You have great seeds inside of you to make significant contributions to the society. You are powerful. 

Learn to see and appreciate yourself for who you are. Never underestimate how beautiful you are from the inside out. You too can be great when you begin to not just see you for who you are but when you start using the gifts and abilities God has given to you as well as making significant changes in areas of your life you want to improve.

Quote for the day - "To be beautiful is to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself."
