Rule 1

Accept yourself

If you accept that what’s done is done

you are left with yourself exactly as you are

You cannot go back and change anything
so you’ve got to work with what you have got

That means accepting all the warts and emotional lumps and

bumps the bad bits , the weaknesses

and the rest of it

You do not have to improve or change

or strive for perfection
Quite the opposite
Just accept

We start with what we have got,

who we are and

then we can only make a choice
each day
to strive for some kind of better

And accept that one days you aren’t going to make it
Some days you will fall far short

So
Pick yourself up and start again

Stop picking faults with yourself
Or
Giving yourself a hard time
Instead
Accept that you are what you are

And remember that

You are doing the best you can at this point in time
