Real Growth Can Only Occur When You Learn To Accept Yourself.
Be true to yourself.
"I accept who I am."
I say to the person staring back at me from my bathroom mirror this morning.
It is my daily self-talk routine.
It is not contingent on who you think I am or how you perceive me.
It is who I am — the true me.
No make-up. No façade. I am facing my imperfections head-on.
Heart and thoughts within. I alone and my creator can feel and see.
Imagine this to be you; what would you say to that person staring back at you?
We all have our negative self-talk from time to time.
We sometimes get caught up in the imagery of how the world perceives beauty and success.
We then beat up on ourselves and wallow in self-pity and feelings of lack—
"I don't quite fit the bill — I wasn't born with quality hair or the right color skin."
"If only I were five inches taller, I would have made it on the basketball team."
"Maybe having a straighter nose and hazel eyes would make me stand out."
