Passionate Theme of the Day: Radical Self Acceptance

“Self-acceptance comes from meeting life’s challenges vigorously. Don’t numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.” ~ J. Donald Walters

“When you’re a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world that can change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one’s lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can’t accept yourself, then certainly no one else will.” ~ Sasha Azevedo

“May I never be complete.  May I never be content.  May I never be perfect.  Deliver me, Tyler, from being perfect and complete.” ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 5

“My definition of success is total self acceptance. We can obtain all of the material possessions we desire quite easily, however, attempting to change our deepest thoughts and learning to love ourselves is a monumental challenge.” ~ Anonymous

Hello passionate peeps. Life is good today. Not bouncing off the walls, dipped in chocolate, rainbows and unicorns good…but good. I was never into hard-core drugs, so rainbows and unicorns and bouncing off the walls isn’t really my style anyway. I’ve been living moment to moment and focusing on gratitude, patience, compassion and peace. It’s working. Update on the situation…baby steps ya’ll. Baby steps. And that’s a beautiful thing.

Passionate Theme of the Day: Reality Check-Up

“Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.” ~Albert Einstein

“Sometimes I’m confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn’t obvious...” ~Michael Stipe

“Reality isn’t the way you wish things to be, nor the way they appear to be, but the way they actually are.” ~Robert J. Ringer
