Did you know that self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people?
Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life.
Your attitude toward yourself is determined largely by the attitudes that you think other people have toward you. When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up.
The best way to build a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.
Many people seem to go through life as if they have an anchor behind them, weighing them down. Imagine if they could release it, how much faster they'd be able to move and how much more success they'd have. Perhaps this is you – holding on to past hurts, incompletes, anger, or fear. Yet, releasing this "anchor" could be the final step you need to move on from your past so you can embrace the future. The truth is, we've all made mistakes and have gone through challenges in life. But it's not your mistakes or challenges that define you. It's what you learn from these experiences that truly matters. How you think about the past can either be a great source of motivation, or it can interfere with your happiness and hold you back from living your best life. So, how do you put the past behind you and embrace your ideal future?
