"The miracle starts with acceptance.
When we come to that place where we accept ourselves the way we are without judgment, we are then in a great position to give up any attachment to what we are not. It is those attachments to "what should be," to "I should have" and to "they ought to" that can produce anger, fear, resentment, rejection, or guilt -- five major emotions that can block you from everything you want.
Give yourself whatever time it takes to come to that place of acceptance. We human beings have many conditioned barriers to transcend. Be patient with yourself as you seek to improve your life. Most important, be loving. There is never a good enough reason to take away loving.
