Be honest with yourself, and with everyone else as well. There are some things you like and other things you dislike, and that's just fine.
Be fully accepting of yourself, and of others as well. You are who you are, with your dreams and passions, preferences and interests, and each person is delightfully unique.
What you run from or hide from or seek to deny, grows bigger and more influential as a result. By getting things out in the open, by seeing them for what they truly are, you become free of their control.
You are where you are and life is the way it is. The more completely you accept it, the more power you have to do something about it.
This moment carries enormous opportunity. No positive purpose is served by fighting against it.
Instead, accept what is, the way you are, the way you feel, and the things that life has brought to you. Then you can make the very most of it all.
-- Ralph Marston
