Acceptance.

I am reminded how my inner peace comes from total acceptance of each part of me.

I used to fear the “sinful” parts of me and tried to push them down and stuff them away somewhere deep inside.

I would then struggle to keep them in check, and I would be exhausted from fighting with them.

Eventually I became so sick of the fight I finally released myself from the secrets through a thorough moral inventory.

I discussed my inventory with a trusted mentor who shared how he had the same types of experiences. He shared how he had made peace with his daemons.

Over the years I have allowed myself to befriend what I used to condemn.

I no longer act out in ways that would hurt myself or others.

I accept that fact that I am a balance of all my parts.

I am a creature of opposites.

In my balancing of all the different parts, I have become free.

I no longer fear any part of me; I embrace all of me and I appreciate the amazing creation that I am.

In my acceptance and appreciation of all parts of me, I accept and appreciate all those in my experience.

May each of you find your balance.

You are Loved.
