Acceptance

Acceptance is one of the most important steps for healing and self-love. Accept that we are vulnerable, we failed, embrace your own weaknesses and imperfections. Accept that as human beings, we are full of flaws. Courage is not fearless, but rather a choice, an action despite of fear. At least we tried, we tried to be our best. That is what I called whole-hearted living. Be happy with yourself, even there isn't any validation or compliment. You become self-sustainable and confident, cos you don't care what other people think. You are resilient, you can take the hits/hardships/suffering in your life. You become mentally, physically, spiritually healthy.

To me, acceptance is the key to happiness, that's what I ask for in life. And I know it is not a easy task. But it is a goal worth working on it. In a way, self-love and self-care is also a lifelong learning process. In hardships, we fail, we grief, we learn, we heal, we move-on, and acceptance is the final product of self-love.
