There is no amount of bad that I can feel that will make you feel better.

And that is the core of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show.

I'm your host Sean Crox and it's Sean Crox and dot com.

We've got my main this man, Jake Ducey on the show today.

And Jake is talking about a super important topic.

One that I find myself studying quite frequently because I like to study

self-esteem.

It's self-acceptance.

One of the key pillars of self-esteem is self-acceptance.

Instead of fighting our emotions, instead of fighting the way that that

things are, instead of resisting all the time, just accepting, accepting who we are,

accepting your emotions, accepting your feelings, accepting your thoughts,

accepting the circumstances that you're in.

And no, you don't have to like them.

Sometimes we can confuse and say, if I'm accepting it, it means that I have to like them.

No, you don't have to like them.

But in order to truly address the things that need to be addressed,

we have to stop fighting them.

You can't change anything if you're resisting it.

If you're pushing away, you have to come face to face with it.

You have to accept that it is.
