“What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.”
– Dr. Otto Rank
Our internal battles often lead to external heartache. We don’t always do what we say is important to us. Whether that’s sticking to a specific eating plan, exercising regularly or working on a long-term project, it can be easy to feel frustrated with ourselves for not following through. Sometimes self-disappointment results in our barking at or blaming others.
What would happen if we cut ourselves some slack? If we gave ourselves permission to get off track, perhaps we’d have more energy to get back on track instead of wasting it on battling ourselves or others.
In an effort to feel more harmony with what I think, say and do, this month I’m focusing on not complaining or making excuses but instead owning my choices. Experience has taught me that acceptance and forgiveness of myself and others lead to peace.
How can making peace with yourself lead to a more fulfilling life?
