Your starting point

You are where you are. Accept it and feel the power your acceptance gives you to move forward.

This moment is as it is. Accept its uniqueness and experience the freedom of not having to fight against it.

There are difficult challenges in your life. Accept them and feel the energy that will enable you to rise above them.

Accept that this is your starting point. Instead of placing judgments on it, see the real, positive value that's already yours.

You cannot change where your past priorities and choices have brought you. Yet you can make use of the wisdom you've earned from it all to create a future that fulfills your most treasured dreams.

Lovingly and gratefully accept who you've been, what you've done, what you have and where you are. For you can now transform it all into what you most wish to be.
