Once we get comfortable with our weaknesses and our strengths and all of the in between, it leaves room for acceptance. Acceptance of who we have been, who we are, and most importantly who we want to become. Acceptance is about wholeness. And acceptance all of yourself leads to trusting yourself. This allows yourself to open up to other relationships with acceptance and trust.

This act requires us to quiet the ego which in turn leads to more empathy and acceptance towards others. Something the world needs now. However, we must first learn to quiet our ego and lean into acceptance and most of all be willing to do this. Willing to sit with ourselves and to begin again.

This is tied into strength – it takes strength to do this. But you can. And you should because it’s also about self-love. Accepting all of ourselves, not just our strengths or good parts (that’s only feeding the ego), but all of ourselves is an act of self love. We need this. And the more we open ourselves to loving every part, the more we allow others to love those parts and we in turn can love others in the way they deserve to be loved: not just for their strengths or good parts.
