"Accept everything about yourself -- I mean everything. You are
 you and that is the beginning and the end -- no apologies, no
 regrets." -- Clark Moustakas

I love that quote but what does acceptance mean? It means telling the truth about what is good and what is supposedly bad about yourself and live in peace with that truth. Great change only comes from acceptance of what is and what isn't. Moving forward comes from the totality of who you are at this moment. Are you overweight? Realize that maybe the deeper meaning of that weight was brought on to protect you from something. Are you in financial distress? Maybe you need to focus on that what is not working in your life emotionally. When you accept where you are, you can then move forward to where you want to go.

Follow the road that leads away from your "undesired" place by focusing on where you are at this moment. Find peace that you are actually where you are supposed to be in order to find the path to where you are supposed to go. No apologies, no regrets.
