Self-acceptance has been a blessed by-product of middle age.

For me, it really is about the self-acceptance... the more time that I spend really accepting and allowing myself to be exactly where I am, the faster it is I move towards what I wanna be doing.

When you please others in hopes of being accepted, you lose you self-worth in the process.

I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.

I grew up on the ragged edge of self-acceptance, where I was holding on to it, but it was easy to fall off. But as I found my way inside myself, I've been able to accept my own hair, my own shape.

I've learned that universal acceptance and appreciation is just an unrealistic goal.

Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.

I've certainly had a lot of experiences in my life where I was much too self-centered.

I think the whole mission of being here on Earth is to accept what you have, and my journey was to accept my own life and not pretend anything else. I think that's what we all struggle with.

It is always our own self that we find at the end of the journey. The sooner we face that self, the better.
