Radical Acceptance

How often do I offer conditional acceptance?  I find myself frequently saying: ‘you should, if only it was, he ought to, it shouldn’t be that way, they need to’… The list goes on and on. 
’You statements’ are a major signal that I’m in a judgment zone and unwilling to accept life, myself and others as they are.  Another signal is when I judge an experience or action as 'good' or 'bad', 'right or wrong'.   

Today, I will pay attention to when those moments occur, not to put myself down, but rather to notice and increase awareness.  I can only change what I acknowledge and accept about myself.  I have a willingness to move towards radical acceptance of myself and those in my life.
