Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.
Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it.
It is not doing the things we like to do, liking the thing we have to do that makes life blessed.
I will not compare myself with others, nor them with me. I will appreciate myself and others for what I and they contribute.
George Foreman. A miracle. A mystery to myself. Who am I? The mirror says back. The George you was always meant to be. Wasn't always like that. Used to look in the mirror and cried a river.
I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
Accept your genius and say what you think.
All I have learned in life really just boils down to this: there is only one difference between the so-called wise and the so-called foolish...and between those who are truly happy and those who are not. Those who are wise - and those who are happy - embrace and appreciate life. Those who are unhappy and unwise do not. That is all; that is the only difference.
Acceptance means events can make it through you without resistance
I have a self-made quote: Celebrate diversity, practice acceptance and may we all choose peaceful options to conflict.
This time, there was no escape, I could not turn away, could not leave without accepting what I had done. There was only one way to the other side, and that was through the pain.
To love, and be loved, this is the greatest challenge that any of us face in our lives.
To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.
Sometimes we fight who we are, struggling against ourselves and our natures. But we must learn to accept who we are and appreciate who we become. We must love ourselves for what and who we are, and believe in our talents.
Hatred never ceases with hatred, but with love alone is healed.
But with trust we can strive to accept even what we cannot understand.
Pain is not wrong. Reacting to pain as wrong initiates the trance of unworthiness. The moment we believe something is wrong, our world shrinks and we lose ourselves in the effort to combat the pain.
I can't explain that, except to say there's release in knowing the truth no matter how anguishing it is. You come finally to the irreducible thing, and there's nothing left to do but pick it up and hold it. Then, at least, you can enter the severe mercy of acceptance.
The moment you become miserly you are closed to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing. The moment you start clinging to things, you have missed the target--you have missed. Because things are not the target, you, your innermost being, is the target--not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you; not much money, but a rich you; not many things, but an open being, available to millions of things.
Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.
