The Art of Acceptance

The concluding goal for any endeavor in self improvement is to gain a clearer understanding of your own potential. Through the insights gained with self assessment a picture begins to form which suggests the things of that potential. Who you will become begins to take shape in your mind, but among such new found insight, obstacles become apparent, behaviours and actions which have not served to help you on your way to improvement.

When you begin a process of self assessment and self analysis it can be difficult to confront certain aspects of our personalities. The measure of battling through ingrained thought processes, learned behaviours, and counter productive reactions to situation can seem overwhelming. It is important to come to terms providing the elements of our personality that are unhealthy and obstructive to the development of our real selves. These counter productive elements if not be considered as faults or negative traits, properties are how they are, and most notably they are obstructions to a deeper understanding of our real natures.

The nurturing and growth of the real self is a process and should viewed as such. As we become a multitude of self up to date we can boost to become more accepting of the non intuitive components of our behaviours and thoughts. With awareness comes responsibility, responsibility to deal with the challenges posed by the improvement of the inner self.

The acceptance of non-productive aspects of personality should be applied to others as well. We are all fallible and have setbacks, perfection is not an attainable goal, understanding and improvement are goals. Treat others to the same level of acceptance as you allow for yourself. Know that not anyone shares your commitment to a deeper spiritual bargain and not everyone is on the path towards discovery.
