Day 10: Being Accepted

Being accepted means not only being accepted by others, but also being accepted by yourself which I think is more important. In this post, I would definitely like to talk more about the later one.

Accepting ourselves does not represent we are going to maintain the current situation forever, but it is the first step for us to make a change after knowing who we are. People who doesn't accept himself acts wired and always trying to run away from himself, and it's incredible tough and dull to be around with people who do not accept themselves, just think about this: who is going to accept someone who even don't accept themselves?

Day 5: the Self-awareness

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.
Lao Tzu

Maybe the most amazing and incomprehensible thing in the world is that you can feel yourself. When we were born there was no memories or self-awareness inside, and before that we don't even exist yet! So where are we from and who are we? Why was this body being chosen to be "me" instead of others? We'd better start with distinguishing the physical me and self-awareness me.
