The Power of Accepting Your Truth: Why Self-Acceptance Is Real Strength
Imagine telling glass that its breakable.
Telling a candle that it will melt.
Telling stone it does not have softness.
Telling mountains that they are difficult.
Telling ants that they are weak.
Telling a butterfly that its fragile.
Does that change their ability to give what they can.
Does that make them small.
Does telling them their truth alter their potential.
No.
They are all unique in their own ways and that their truth does not make them insignificant.
Their acceptance of their truth is what makes them not just survive but become uniquely beautiful in their own ways.
Glass accepted its breakable, that is what made us handle it with caution.
Candle accepted it melts, that is what made it give light without feeling burnt.
Stone accepted its toughness, that is what made them great for sturdy foundations of our homes.
Mountains accepted they are difficult, that is what challenged the aspiring mountaineers to make remarkable accomplishments.
Ants accepted they are small and weak, that is what made them hard working and live in this planet where their identity looks impossible to survive.
Butterflies accepted their fragility, that is what made us humans praise their beauty and call it breathtaking.
Now what about us?
Humans.
Are we ready to take our truths?
Are we ready to face mirrors that expose us, show us our good, bad and worst areas?
The truth is: The strength of a spirit is measured by how much truth it can take.
The more we open ourselves to face and accept our truths, the more we allow the world to see our light.
The more we cultivate ourselves into better versions through those truths.
