I have learned I need to focus on myself and not lend my energy to matters that do not serve me or my energy. I have totally withdrawn from things and people who do not serve my best interest and work against my goals. This hinders my process, progress, and my plan, to do what I need to do for my wellness and well being. The less I worry about the people who do not serve my goals and hinder my process the further I get to accomplishing my goals. I feel a lot better when I do not involve people in my the process to stop my progress. I accept where I am with my life and I go from there. I do not depend on people to pump me up with any type of compliments because I have lived in my body for 38 years and I have been alone enough to have gotten familiar enough with myself to not accept false praise from someone.

I accept not being perfect and to respect myself enough to not be in a situation with a person who infringes upon me. I have to accept when things are not going the way that serves my best interest. I have to look at what is going on around me and move accordingly. I have to accept about myself that I am still learning things about myself as time goes on and I have to use it to my advantage. I love to write more than I speak and I have learned to incorporate the fact that I love to write and do it on a daily basis. It’s not for anyone to accept me. It is up to me to accept myself and not care what others think about me. No matter what happens, I have to always look within and look out for myself. No one is responsible for the decisions I make. People may try to influence me to say they have some kind of influence on my thought process that can be seen as manipulative. It’s up to me to discern these types of people and ward them off.

At some point in our lives we have to accept responsibility and take accountability for who we are. I think its human nature to not take things at face value, even ourselves. Accept yourself and have no cares or worries about what others have to say. I think everything we do in our lives is like a muscle, self esteem, self respect, discernment, and self acceptance. As we get older and some wiser the muscles become stronger or weaker depending on how we use them. I encourage anyone who is reading this to excersize accepting yourself in all areas. Thank you for reading.
