Hi Mark,
So it means that whatever see ourselves as, is just the way we need to be now? We can change but change while accepting what has been or what we are? We are good enough the way we are but could do better by improving?
I guess it could mean being at peace with who you are in this moment even as you try to change behaviours and perspective as you said.
I was of the opinion that once you accept something you have to be okay with the way it is forever. So i was worried that it could be used as an excuse to never change for the better. But my understanding now is I should be able to accept myself for who I am in this moment and still be able to look for things to change. Which would then mean that my self-esteem will not depend on a future event. Do you think i got it right?
