Why is it acceptable to ask for criticism, yet not alright to ask for compliment? We’ve been ‘trained’ to seek the negative … in self, in others, in situations.

Self-trust.

Self-esteem.

There’s always someone to help us in this regard, to the positive, or to the contrary.

When we fully take responsibility for our actions, stop blaming our attitudes and character on past experiences, then we can claim our life.

We can choose the practices we wish to embody. If others are not okay with any of it, let them be. Honor yourself in the moment, every one of them.

If experience brings tough lessons, embrace them as thoroughly as possible to decrease the chances of a lesson needing to be relearned.

Recognize.

Accept,

Or release.

Once you are okay with every little quirk and habit, the rest doesn’t really matter, as long as no harm is coming to self, or any body.

The wind will go where it desires.

In this moment, all the earth stands still.

No fear here.

No fear here.

No fear here.

Start anew.

Begin again.
