Don’t change anything! Acceptance is the key that naturally boosts your confidence level.

Sometimes acceptance of the world as it is disturbing. With every problem we have in life, we want to change some circumstance or some person to resolve it. We want our life to be different than it is. We want to feel different about our family, friends and our self.<We prefer if the world changed to be like us. Our confidence level is low and we want to change that, too.

If my employees would only change I could make more money. If the banks would change I could get the loan I need. If I could change my weight people would respect me more. If I could change my age I would be more attractive to the people I want to impress. The list of things we would like to change goes on indefinitely.

But the second wing of getting your self confidence in place before you try to change your life is acceptance.

Don’t change anything! Don’t fiddle with circumstances. Don’t change others and don’t try to change yourself.

What happens when we start to accept the way things are in our life we release tons of baggage that has been making us crazy.

We no longer feel that we aren’t good enough.

We no longer feel we aren’t important enough.

We feel like we will land on our feet no matter from where we fall.

We don’t feel bad about mistakes and failures.

We have an emotional freedom.

We unload the heavy responsibility of trying to judge everything.

Total acceptance means accepting our self as well as all circumstances. We were not put here to struggle through life but to create a life worth the struggling.

“What we resist persists” Carl Jung

Resistance is the egos first and loudest response to problematic circumstances. We resist change in particular.

Remember the “Dear Abby” column in the newspaper? One woman wrote in saying that she suspected her husband was cheating. When she confronted him he said that it wasn’t true and that he will never do it, again.

After a business failure or divorce and we don’t accept the failure ( keep resisting it), we may have extreme guilt, low self esteem and depression. We rate ourselves as not good enough and stay stuck. Accept it and it looses the hold on us. Freedom is going toward truth and the truth is that it “is what it is”.

There are many methods that have some value in teaching how to accept the world the way it is but I suggest one that will exponentially and naturally lead to acceptance and higher levels of self confidence.

To Your Fulfillment.
