The Amazing Power of Self-Acceptance

.

You cannot hate things about yourself and expect that it change what you don't like about yourself. In fact, it will do the reverse. Hating what you don't like about yourself will only attract more of what you don't like about yourself. For example, if you hate being overweight that will only attract more weight to you no matter how many times you try to lose it by dieting. Hating or disliking anything about yourself only attracts more of the same.  On the other hand, falling in love with yourself exactly as you are will turn you into the most magnificent, powerful, lovable human being you could possibly become.
