Acceptance

Q: Can you accept yourself as you are?

A: This is a difficult question for me cuz yes I can for the most part, if I couldn't I probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed every day. But there are a lot of things that I'm not willing to accept forever. I'm not willing to accept the fact that I can't do certain things because of shyness/social anxiety. I'm not willing to accept the fact that I have a hard time standing up for myself. I think everyone has little things that they won't accept about themselves forever, but its a process to get through. If we were perfectly acceptable the way we are, what fun would life be? what lessons would we learn?
