Hi everyone. I just wanted to make a comment about a quote I read here at beliefnet. It was by Carl Rogers..."The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." I was truly blown away by this statement, and I believe it to be one of the wisest things ever said. I think it's by ACCEPTING ourselves as we are that we can heal and grow. |

Yes, An interesting statement. A thought which has passed through many great minds in many forms. One of my favorite expressions of it is from the Scot poet, Robert Burns: (in his particular style of English.) O, wad some Power the giftie gie us --Ode to a Louse
Democrats think the glass is half full.
Republicans think the glass is theirs. Libertarians want to break the glass, because they think a conspiracy created it. |

Such Realistic Self-Acceptance decreases Anxiety ... thus helping both Adaptation and Adjustment to "God," Life, The Universe and Everything ...
