Self Acceptance

"Have Patience with all things but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being.
You're a perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply becuase you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that. Unconditional self-acceptance is the core of a peaceful mind"

IF I CAN TRULY LEARN TO BELIEVE ALL THE ABOVE THINGS, I WILL BE UNSTOPABLE!!! It's just so easy to get sidetracked when I feel like things are stacked up against me and everyone else has things easy. I think one of my major problems is that I'm my own worst enemy. I never think I'm good enough for something. I think this was implanted in my head a long time ago becasue growing up some people were very negative towards me and they seemed to take great delight in making me feel horrible, whether it's my appearance, my talents, or my "gayness". I have to say these things have caused me to have a sometimes negative outlook in life.
I really try to be positive and keep good spirits and I will admit I have come a LONG way, but it's easy to "fall off the wagon" when things aren't going too well and everyone else seems to have a "perfect" life. In my rational mind I know everyone has his/her bad days and that I do have a LOT to be thankful for and I'm really trying to get things on track etc....... In addition to that, I know all the people who've tried to drag me down most likely did that because they were intimidated by me and possibly knew I can farther than they could ever imagine.........Anyway, despite these recent negative feelings or "Blah day's" I must always remain true to myself and continue to follow my dreams and make them a reality. To quote Feminist Gloria Steinem...... "If your dreams weren't already real within us, you could not even dream them" I couldn't ask for a more truer statement and I know I can truly reach my dreams if I accept myeself for who/what I am and not let others get in my way.
