For advent I filmed a short video every day, each with one word and one book. First published December 2016.
Accept
"Remember, the moment you accept total responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you claim the power to change anything in your life" (Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning)
Once you've decided what you want, you have to think about how you get there. And before you can move forward, what you really need to do is accept where you are right now.
One of the best things I've ever been taught is that acceptance is the answer. As in, what are the things I need to accept? What are the things I've got no control over, that I just have to accept are the way they are?
One of the big ones is the past. You can't change the past. You can learn from it, but you can never change it. You can never change everything that's led up to this very moment. What you can change is what happens from here.
So what I'd ask you to do today is start accepting yourself. Start accepting where you are. Accept everything about your life. Everything has made you into who you are today, and it's brought you to this moment. When you accept exactly where you are, that's when you can start to take steps to move forward.
The book: The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod.
Write down one thing from your past you've been fighting, and accept it today.
