Voice in My Head Today: Acceptance

You need to stop doing what you think is expected of you, and start doing what you want to do in your heart (note: drugs, video-games and Facebook are definitively not included). 

Accept the arbitrary human rules and the fact that they are going to slow you down, and forge ahead despite the hurdles you don’t want to bother with.

Accept that you are going to take two steps forward and one step back and be satisfied that, at the end of the day, you are at least moving forward.

Accept that the way you think people feel is not the way they actually feel but is a projection of your own insecurities and biases; which means accepting people at their word, even if you suspect they are lying.

Accept that people will be mean and dishonest and that you will get your feelings hurt - deeply - but that it is all part of the path and will benefit you in the end.

It sounds impossible, but it’s really not that hard, except that you make it so.

All you have to do is Accept. Your heart will follow.
