2. ACCEPT YOURSELF
As a human being, you tend to only want to have
positive qualities, but you will encounter a lot of
suffering if you do not accept your negative
qualities because they are a part of you.
When something is already a part of you, it is
difficult to change or get rid of it.
When you want to change something that cannot
be done, you will encounter a lot of suffering.
3. TWO SIDES TO EVERYTHING
Did you know that everything in life, include human
beings, there is always two sides to everything.
For example, the color black cannot exist without
the color white.
A left side cannot exist without a right side.
In this case, you cannot have positive qualities
without negative qualities.
4. ACCEPT YOUR NEGATIVE QUALITIES
So if you want to keep your positive qualities, you
have to accept your negative qualities.
If the term positive exists, then the term negative
has to exist.
You cannot have one without the other.
If you try to delete one, the other will also be
deleted.
5. YOU ARE NOT PERFECT
As a human being, you cannot be perfect, which
means you have to have negative qualities.
It does not matter what you do, you will always
have some kind of negative quality.
For example, if you are able to get rid one of your
negative qualities, some other negative quality will
manifest in place the old one.
The more you put yourself down for your negative
qualities, the lower your self-esteem.
6. ACCEPTING YOURSELF
Self-acceptance means accepting whom you
are completely from the inside and out, both
positive and negative.
A great thing about being a human being is that
you have the ability to label which things are
negative and positive.
7. LABEL YOUR OWN QUALITIES
Negative and positive are just terms that are
being labeled on things and people, but the true
meaning all depend on you.
When you label something positive, that means
something else has to be labeled negative.
When you label some of your qualities as
negative, it does not necessarily mean that they
are bad.
