Practicing our own acceptance

Life is a practice. Every day, every breath we are blessed with, we get another opportunity to make positive change. We practice being kind to others, communicating in a way that makes others feel good, doing things for others. How often do we practice things that benefit us directly while making positive change? How often do we let our guards down and self evaluate or self appreciate? We must be accepting of ourselves (truly get to know yourself from the core) in order to practice loving and taking care of ourselves. Only when we practice our own acceptance, and understand we are exactly who we need to be, can we start to accept others for who they truly are.. Namaste
