Quotes About Self-acceptance

When you do your best you learn to accept yourself. But you have to be aware and learn from your mistakes. Learning from your mistakes means you practice, look honestly at the results, and keep practicing. This increases your awareness.

There are many ways that we hurt ourselves when we don't like who we are.

Imagine that you love yourself just the way you are. You love your body just the way it is, and you love your emotions just the way they are. You know that you are perfect just as you are.

Once you forgive yourself, the self-rejection in your mind is over. Self-acceptance begins, and the self-love will grow so strong that you will finally accept yourself just the way you are. That's the beginning of the free human. Forgiveness is the key.

Si no te gusta una persona, puedes alejarte de ella. Si no te gustas a ti mismo, no tienes escapatoria; estás contigo mismo adondequiera que vayas.

Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal.

Not being perfect, we reject ourselves. And the level of self-rejection depends upon how effective the adults were in breaking our integrity. After domestication it is no longer about being good enough for anybody else. We are not good enough for ourselves because we don't fit with our own image of perfection.

The relationship you have with yourself is reflected in your relationships with others. If you reject your own body, when you are sharing your love with your partner, you become shy. You think, "Look at my body. How can he love me when I have a body like this?" Then you reject yourself and make the assumption that the other person will reject you for the same thing you reject in yourself. And when you reject someone else, you reject him for the same things you reject in yourself.

Cuando eres impecable, asumes la responsabilidad de tus actos, pero sin juzgarte ni culparte.

The way we judge ourselves is the worst judge that ever existed.

Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves; it is why we don't accept ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are.

We cannot forgive ourselves for not being perfect.

No culpes a tus padres ni a ninguna otra persona que te haya maltratado en la vida, incluyéndote a ti mismo. Pero ya es hora de poner fin a ese maltrato. Ya es hora de que te liberes de la tiranía del Juez y de que cambies los fundamentos de tus propios acuerdos. Ya es hora de que te liberes del papel de Víctima. Tu verdadero yo

That is why you cannot change yourself just by wishing to change. No, you need to really challenge what you believe you are, especially the beliefs that limit the expression of your life. You need to challenge every belief that you use to judge yourself, to reject yourself, to make yourself little.

We are not good enough for ourselves because we don't fit with our own image of perfection. We cannot forgive ourselves for not being what we wish to be, or rather what we believe we should be. We cannot forgive ourselves for not being perfect.

Nadie, en toda tu vida, te ha maltratado más que tú mismo.

Nuestra imagen de perfección es la razón por la cual nos rechazamos; es el motivo por el cual no nos aceptamos a nosotros mismos tal como somos y no aceptamos a los demás tal como son.

And this is why we have a fear of being ourselves around others. Because we think everyone else will judge us, victimize us, abuse us, and blame us as we do ourselves. So even before others have a chance to reject us, we have already rejected ourselves.

los acuerdos más importantes son los que has hecho contigo mismo. En esos acuerdos te has dicho quién eres, qué sientes, qué crees y cómo debes comportarte. El resultado es lo que llamas tu personalidad.

We cannot forgive ourselves for not being what we wish to be, or rather what we believe we should be. We cannot forgive ourselves for not being perfect.

The real mission you have in life is to make yourself happy, and in order to be happy, you have to look at what you believe, the way you judge yourself, the way you victimize yourself. Be completely honest about your happiness. Don't project a false sense of happiness by telling everyone, Look at me. I'm a success in life, I have everything I want, I am so happy, when you don't like yourself.

El mayor pecado que cometes es rechazarte a ti mismo. En términos religiosos, el autorrechazo es un «pecado mortal», es decir que te conduce a la muerte. En cambio, la impecabilidad te conduce a la vida.

No podemos perdonarnos por no ser perfectos.
