“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete”
— Buddha
accept your own progress
on your own path
(you are as far
along your path
as you could be)
and seek understanding
when you miss your own mark
no self-judgment
no self-punishment
no self-shaming
no self-recrimination
no self-condemnation
“Despite how open, peaceful, and loving you attempt to be, people can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.”
— Matt Kahn
accept where
people are on their own path
without judgment or expectation
“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say. I just watch what they do.”
— Andrew Carnegie
accept who people are
who their actions
reveal them to be
without judgment
or expectation
or attachment
to them being more
or already being
further along
their own path of growth
“You will never be who you want to be, until you are happy with who you are.”
— Thomas F. Shubnell (via perfectquote)
accept reality
who you are now
where you are now, on your path
without attachment
to false self-image
if you ever want to grow
always
you couldn’t be anywhere else
if you could be, you would be
if you could have been
you would have been
enjoy the journey
without attachment to the destination
