How to succeed through Acceptance?

I would say that acceptance is something that you need to develop if you want to lead a life full of colors. Without acceptance, it is quite hard to move forward in our life.

When you don’t try to accept yourselves, you will always tend to over-analyze your mistakes and get depressed over what happened to you. You will get stuck in the place you are because rather than accepting the situation and moving forward, you will always ruminate over what could have happened.

Acceptance is the first step to move forward in every way. You should accept your flaws and mistakes. Most of us hate ourselves and our life only because we do not accept our mistakes. We want us to be perfect. Learn to accept your mistakes and imperfections. No one in this world is capable of being perfectly perfect t with zero flaws.

You have to surrender to yourself. Surrendering is the first step to learn acceptance. Resistance is going to bring nothing to you. You will only fight against your imperfections and fail. Now, look around you. How many things do you find imperfect? You may find a lot of things that need to be perfect every time you look around. Surrender yourself and accept that not everything can be perfect.

Most of us fail to accept ourselves in the case of our body appearance. I was a victim of body shaming. I have used numerous beauty products to get fair skin. I have also had pills and mixes to lose weight and look slimmer. I hated my body. I was trapped in the cycle of not being able to look better. Since I hated myself, I was not able to move forward even after so many tries. I always gave up.

Once, I started accepting my body I started to embrace who I am and how I look. Acceptance taught me self love which in turn made me make healthy decisions about my life. I have come forward so much only because I started accepting my flaws.

You should also learn to accept the present moment. When you accept the present you will not ruminate your past or get anxious over your future. Acceptance will enrich your life.

The most important thing that acceptance will help you with - is a failure. When you develop the habit of acceptance, you will not get depressed over any failure. You will accept it and move on. This will make you a stronger person and will help you succeed in an optimistic way.

On the path of success, failure and setbacks are inevitable. Acceptance is the only thing that is going to help you at those testing times.

Acceptance is the root of a tree. If the root is weak, the tree will collapse. If the root is steady, then the tree is going to stand strong for years!
