Self-acceptance is on the path to happiness

Self-acceptance is growing inside and out. It allows us to live life the way we want, without external interference. It allows us to set realistic goals that we can achieve.

Everyone longs in this life be happy. Some achieve it with a good job, a stable partner or with many material goods. However, there is a really simple way to be happy and the best of all is that it is within our reach. It’s about the self-acceptance. That is, knowing yourself in depth, knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are, so that it is finally possible to love yourself as you are.

Thus, accepting that we have certain characteristics does not mean giving up the desire to improve every day, but rather it refers to telling ourselves that we are worth it or that we are more than what we like so little about ourselves.

Furthermore, accepting oneself (self-acceptance) with its limits and resources is the first step to establishing realistic goals in life and being able to start from the base of what we currently have to get where we want. It’s about not being amazed or dazed by building castles in the air. Self-knowledge and self-acceptance allow us to start from a solid foundation that allows us to establish realistic and achievable objectives and goals.

Self-acceptance is on the path to happiness

Perfectionist lifestyles or lifestyles imposed from outside of us are not going to provide us with happiness or well-being. Many strive to appear to be something they are not, while constantly ignoring themselves. This only allows them to lurch in life. Constantly search for an ideal to follow, a model to resemble.

People like this lack the necessary inner work; of the journey towards self-discovery. Discover ourselves without judging, accepting what we are and starting from there to follow a direction in our life. But, yes, the course that we decide.

It’s impossible to please everyone

As each person is completely different, with tastes and opinions that can be completely different from one’s own, it is impossible to please everyone around us.always For this reason, don’t make a deliberate effort to always be liked by anyone who crosses your path.

There will be people who will accept you as you are, with your flaws and your virtues. Others simply won’t do it. Don’t waste your valuable time with the latter. Or is it worth having people by your side with whom you don’t feel comfortable and whom you have to make an effort to please at all times?

Self-acceptance, yes. Even from our mistakes

The famous French writer Jules Verne once said: “Science is made up of errors, which in turn are steps towards the truth.” By this I meant until one makes a mistake, one does not realize the mistake made. Therefore, it seems very important not to make a drama every time something goes wrong. You have to take that situation with a certain philosophy, with optimism and even humor, and then never stumble over the same stone again. In this way, one will know oneself better and gain self-esteem.

Still not practicing self-acceptance with yourself? Well there is no problem. Analyze yourself; take pencil and paper. Do an introspection, know yourself. You must know your limits, your resources, your values, what you want, when and how.
