Accept you for who you are

Who are you and what do you want out of the life you’ve been given?

When you answer that question you will be in a position to find what you’re looking for.

Accept you for who you are.

  • If you want a wife who can cook, don’t marry a women who’s not interested in food.
  • If you are attracted to men who are not gentlemen, you don’t want a gentleman.
  • If you’re not prepared to play politics at work, don’t expect to be promoted.
  • If you’re deeply religious, don’t look for people who aren’t.
  • If you think somebody doesn’t think you’re good enough, the problem is not theirs.
  • If you think you’re not good enough. Why? Because you will always be good enough for the people who really matter to you.
  • If you think money can buy you happiness, you don’t know what happiness is.
  • If you think somebody is not communicating with you at the same level as you are. Stop talking to them.
  • Everybody has a history they would like to change, however, that’s not possible. Accept this fact.
  • Find people who share similar interests to you because you’re better off being alone than with people who make you feel lonely in their presence.
  • The day you stop trying to be somebody you’re not to fit into a group you do not like is the beginning of your real journey.

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ~Oscar Wilde

Honesty is at the beginning of every journey worth taking.
