You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t gotten you anywhere. Try complementing and accepting yourself and see what could happen.

You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t gotten you anywhere. Try complementing and accepting yourself and see what could happen.
Do you accept yourself for who you are?
Are you willing and capable of appreciating yourself for exactly who you are, flaws and all?
So many of us fall victim to our respective dreams, goals, and aspirations, such that we are continually thinking of ourselves as a work in progress, and seldom, potentially, finding deep appreciation for who we are, each and every single day.
How do we create a boundary between the way that we are hoping to evolve versus our consistent presence on a day-to-day basis?
In setting goals and having aspirations to improve, mature, and evolve into someone of even more substance, than we have currently achieved, are we potentially shortchanging ourselves along the way?
We forge a pathway towards an envisioned endgame that we are projecting for ourselves. This is highly beneficial for accelerating into new territory, but without the pause for current appreciation, we are potentially losing big chapters of our lives, not being content with ourselves, and therefore, potentially criticizing ourselves for everything that we have yet to become.
Wouldn’t it be wiser to continually take inventory and find internal pride and satisfaction for all that we are currently, while still maintaining the definitive projections necessary for us to evolve in the path that we most desire?
The truth is that at a certain point in time we are all going to grow old. Our bodies will decay, and our being will no longer be the same as we once were.
So given that there is unquestionably a portion of our final years in which we are disintegrating slowly, wouldn’t it be even more prudent to awaken at the earliest possible moment in our lives to this core reality, so that we may find substantial gratitude for all the wonderful things that we are at that moment in time, and for everything that we are expecting to mature into?
If you can find perspective between your projected aspirations and your current self, I believe you will find great satisfaction and a deeper appreciation for your life in the process.
Happy Thursday!
