So much of my irritation and frustration with others is connected to my own inability to forgive myself. I so easily can see in others what I refuse to see in myself. Today, I choose to practice radical acceptance; acceptance of my own perceived failures and mistakes, acceptance of my reactivity and poor judgments, acceptance of what others have done and my hurt over what I assume to be intended injury. I realize that most of us are trying to do the best we can and very few people actually have hurt me on purpose. I choose to accept the feelings and needs I have, even those that are hard to acknowledge. I value authenticity and its impossible to foster it without acceptance of myself.
May this day be filled with moments of consciously choosing to accept and forgive.
