Self Acceptance

Self Acceptance: Lots of fish in the shallows today all sizes…love the fact that they don’t swim away, but accept me for who I am…sharing a common bond …a fellow being who loves and depends on the river…

There is a lot to be said for being accepted for who you are… lots of people squash and squeeze into other peoples expectations and projections, taking on ‘oughts and shoulds’ for their own behaviours, emotions and beliefs… and then wonder why they feel lost, sick and unhappy within their lives…

And yet it takes courage to dig deep into your inner being and explore the dark recesses of your mind and unearth who you truly are…the core being that has been squashed and who now feels lost, frightened and even frustrated at the way that they have been judged and treated, not simply by others…but perhaps even more significantly, how they have been judged and squashed by you…yourself.

For we truly place the ‘cage’ of restriction around ourselves…ultimately… restricting and limiting our own experience of life through what we have ‘learned’ and been programmed to believe and accept about what we are able to experience ….

Yes it take a certain amount of courage to explore repressed emotions and to release the inner authentic you…but it is worth the effort…for you ultimately discover an inner being of radiance and strength who is capable of laughing and playing, of being open and light through even the most challenging experiences… for your inner core is your anchor, your ‘rock’ that no one can take from you…that no one can destroy, control or ‘tame’…it is ultimately your light…

So…why not remove the cage that you perhaps have placed around yourself…that is holding you in a limited experience of reality and your life?

Accept yourself for who you truly are…free yourself to attract experiences around you that reflect this self acceptance… (and not just the fish!)

But… for now, for me…back to my fishies… and the river…

Namaste
