self acceptance versus personal growth, part one by steep Adelina of Steve Babbling dot com. How do you balances dove acceptance versus the drive to grow and improve yourself, on the one hand, is a good idea to accept yourself or who you are false and all all right, but on the other hand, isn't it also a good idea to set goals and aim for something even better than what you already experienced now? How do you resolve this conflict? Is compromise really the best solution? I believe most people simply compound. I do not fully accept themselves as they are, but nor are they fully committed to lifelong growth. I think This'Ll m solution, though, why not have both? Why not fully accept yourself, as you are, and also be totally committed to lifelong rose. Can't you enjoy both

is there a way around this apparent conflict often receive feedback both publicly and privately. That suggest that, because I'm so openly committed a personal growth that there before I must not like and accept. Who I am right now is assume that says I can but she myself the growing new ways that I must be sought facing the self accept inside the line mindset. Why does there seem to be a conflict between self accept, insane growth anyway, I think the conflict is actually a result of a particular mindset. I refer to it as the lint your mind, set the linear mindset says that your life is like a point. Moving down a line segment. Your life is a journey through time. The end it's represent your birth and death. The points behind you or your past the point ahead of your future and your present moment is a little dot on that timeline. Slowly, its way towards your death, every point on Lifeline, can also be said to have a certain quality. You can look at

the point on the line and measure your instantaneous state? Now that point on any particular day of your life, past present or future, you can post questions like. Where do I live? What's my job, what's my net worth? Who were my friends? What's my relationship status? So much do I way self acceptance versus personal growth within this paradigm is only natural that the conflict between self acceptance and growth should arise. Eyes. Once you start labeling some points on your life as being of higher or lower quality than others. Then you have the means to compare any point to any other. How does your life today compare with your life five years ago? Are you richer happier healthier now have to decide how much you want to push things to improving quality as he progressed through life, you can accept your current position is adequate and opt to simply maintain it or you can try to achieve something greater, you can also adopt the belief that your life is largely out of your control, in which case your best bet would be to learn to accept.

Whatever outcomes you experience regard This is how you might rate their level of quality. The more you have where you are, the less money Patient there is to grow and the more you push yourself to grow, the less out of you derive from your current position. He might end up oscillating back and forth along this spectrum, sometimes being very complacent and other times be. Very driven limitations of the linear mindset. The linear mindset is very calm, and especially in the western world, we loved him sure things and assign them grades and ratings which cars the most fuel efficient this year is company acts more profitable than it was last year. How fit in healthy am I and that mindset certainly has value, especially in business and not suggesting that is inherently undesirable paradigm However, there are areas where this model works and there are areas where it doesn't and one of those areas where it doesn't work so well, is yourself image. Try

to apply the linear mindset yourself. Image creates the conflict between self acceptance and grow instead of merely measuring various aspects of your life and knowing how they change over time you identify with them. I richer than I was last year. I am more depressed, then I used to be from being a tall, a marketer to being sales manager when you identify the positional aspects of your life. You pull your ego into the picture. Your sense of self then becomes dependent on your particular position if you primarily think about life in terms of hitting new highs, such as better health, greater net worth or a more anal job title, then what happens when you experience a setback in your position, maybe even a big one like being charged with baloney, we all experience setbacks. It's only a matter of time. If your self esteem is based on your position, then you'll suffer greatly when your position declines. What would a duty

self esteem. If you lost all your money, what if you gain fifty pounds? What if your life made dumped you if you lose your position? Will you lose your sense of self even more problems? Then a real loss is worrying about the possibility of a loss in advance. He may hold yourself back because he feared becoming too d and on a certain position. If you stay low you dont have far to fall in things. Go bad gave you nowadays isn't as painful when you're already fifty pounds overweight going broke. Missis herbal, when you only have a thousand dollars to your name forces if you, multi millionaire and how much worse care relationship situation. If it's already lousy or non existent passed by setting up camp and media land. Staying far away from super achiever you're, protecting your ego from inevitable supper you know that even the most successful people in the world experienced setbacks? So why would you risk subjecting yourself to such dramatic highs and lows? Logos must come down.

The underlying problem is that, by ruining your sense of self in something that will fluctuate light, the current position of any measurable part of your life you're going to suffer one way or another. Either your push yourself to achieve achieve achieve and then suffer emotionally when things take a turn for the worse or you'll, become attached outcomes to an unhealthy degree such that, you may say, Pfizer ethics to maintain your position or you'll, sell it for much less and you're capable of achieving in public give yourself regular beatings for being too lazy and for over procrastinating, you'll, always be haunted by the knowledge that you could be doing better or, lastly, you may decide to withdraw from society in order to escape and transcend this whole punishing process. But still, your contribution is far below your potential
