To accept ourselves is to accept the fact that what we think, feel, and do are all expressions of the self at the time they occur.
Nathaniel Branden
What am I? And who am I?
These questions I’ve asked myself everytime. And I mostly never liked the answer that came out of it.
The answer was always which I focused not becoming: a whiner, a loser, a complainer and so on.
But this was because I focused on past and decided through it.
And the questions rooted from somewhere far deeper in me. These questions, I thought, will give me an answer that will help me find who I am. And the only thing it did was put me in more deeper in dirt.
After understanding this, I tried turning off my brai through meditation and began the practice of ‘stillness’.
I didn’t do anything until it was completely necessary. I sat at one place and meditated. I wrote down all my thoughts and emotions that I felt. And finally, reached to a point where I knew what I wanted.
Knowing what I want was and is something that I decide. And slowly I thought myself to also be proud of what I want, because in the end each and every person in my life wants different goals, outcomes, things and life.
Accepting and growing familiar and closer to my needs and wants made me look into different areas that come without putting in too much effort and was obedient to my spiritual life.
This is how I accepted what I want and who I am?
The answer is, you cannot put yourself in a position where you are bound to a certain set of rules and philosophy.
I am learning this through putting me in places and situations which I am afraid of as an individual but at the same time made me inspired.
And the truth is, without us accepting who we are we won’t be able to become the best we can.
