Accepting ourselves is the first step to finding true happiness from "summary" of Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score
Accepting who we are, faults and all, is crucial to our journey towards true happiness. It is only when we stop fighting against ourselves and embrace our true selves that we can begin to experience genuine joy and contentment. This concept may seem simple, but it is a profound truth that many of us struggle to accept. When we constantly strive to be someone we are not, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment and unhappiness. We cannot find true fulfillment by constantly comparing ourselves to others or trying to live up to unrealistic standards. It is only when we let go of these expectations and fully accept ourselves for who we are that we can begin to find peace within ourselves. Acceptance does not mean that we stop growing and improving. On the contrary, it is a starting point for personal growth and self-improvement. When we accept ourselves, we can start to make positive changes in our lives from a place of self-love rather than self-criticism. We can set goals and work towards them without the burden of self-doubt and self-hatred holding us back. By accepting ourselves, we also open ourselves up to deeper connections with others. When we are comfortable in our own skin, we are more authentic in our relationships and can form deeper, more meaningful connections with those around us. We no longer feel the need to hide behind a mask or pretend to be someone we are not. Instead, we can show up as our true selves and attract people who appreciate and love us for who we truly are. In the end, true happiness comes from within. It is not something that can be found in external achievements or validation from others. It is a state of being that arises when we fully accept ourselves and live in alignment with our true values and desires. Only by accepting ourselves can we truly find the happiness and fulfillment we have been searching for.
