Acceptance

"The important thing is to accept yourself. If the condition I am in is a cause of malaise, it is a sign that I reject it. Then, more or less consciously, I try to be different from what I am; ultimately it is not me. If, on the contrary, I fully accept my state, I will find peace. I do not complain that I should be holier, more beautiful, more pure than I am now. When I am white, I am white, when I am black, I am black, This is not an attitude that does not prevent you from continuing to work on me in order to become a better tool; self-acceptance does not limit aspirations, on the contrary, it nourishes them, because every improvement will always start from what you really are.
