Let's get 512-9305.

Today we're going to be talking about acceptance and that doesn't sound very sexy, but we're

going to talk about what I believe is probably the main problem with the

majority of people in the world, including myself. And this is something that I have been working on

for a couple of years now. It has completely changed. First off, the way I feel every single day.

But second off, what I focus on in my journey of self-development.

You know, I find in self-development, the journey of personal growth and transformation,

it's filled with tools and strategies and books and routines and all of these things that you

need to, quote unquote unquote do to fix yourself.

It's all about fixing yourself. For me, I would say the first 16, 17 years of me being into

personal development was me trying to fix my problems or what I perceived as my problems. And I was trying to fix myself and I'm broken and I'm

not perfect yet and I need to fix myself. And if I'm being honest, the most profound and transformative

approach that I have found in 19 years now of working on myself is it is not something to do. It is more of a state of being.

And so, you know, if you look at it, you're not a human doing. You're a human being. And the approach

we're going to talk about is the practice of acceptance, which is already triggering to some people because you're like,

yeah, but I want to change this thing. I hate this thing. I don't like this thing about her. I don't like

this thing about him. I don't like this thing about myself. I don't like this thing about the world.
