So I've been desiring change in my life for a while now. I've also been working on accepting myself.

There seems to be a sort of paradox here. I want change and yet I want to accept myself.

How does one reconcile with this? Can one reconcile with this?

Does anyone have anything to say on this? Just feelin around

The beloved child is accepted exactly as they are - no matter how messy they get, how intense the tantrums - good parents will still love their child unconditionally. That does not then preclude the parents from making future arrangements for the child's education. They do this in hopeful anticipation of the future growth of their child that has, is, and will always be accepted.

That's how I see it. Smile
