Compassion for Yourself and Self-Acceptance: 4. Self-agency and self-love

Seek joy in self-agency and self-love, and embrace what fulfils you

中文版

You empower yourself and free yourself from the trap of seeking acceptance and unhealthy dependency from others when you walk on the path of self-agency, self-love, and embracing the journey of life through both the ups and downs.

Life is not fair. But, neither is life unfair. Fairness and unfairness are human constructs. Life is beyond that. Life just is. There will be happiness and there will be sadness. Accept that. But, don’t let events control you. Instead, seek your own empowerment to more effectively navigate life.

You have learn strengthen your resolve from within, to seek happiness, strength, and love from within, rather than from without. Tapping into that inner self and nurturing yourself can lead to a much greater and abundant source of power than trying to eke it from others.

This doesn’t have to mean being tough as nails all the time. Strength and resilience isn’t just about brute force, it’s also about making the most of a situation and utilising available resources. It’s like trying to move a heavy box by yourself when there’s a cart you could use to help you. Using the available resources smartly is a more efficient use of your energies.
