Accept who you are!

Accept Who You Are
None of us can be the best at everything.
Each of us has a set of strengths
that come naturally, talents we have
developed over time, and things we
are never going to be good at. What
enables us to be authentic and effective
leaders is maximizing the use of
our strengths—not focusing on our
weaknesses—and surrounding ourselves
with others whose strengths
complement our own and fill in for
our gaps. The ability to accept yourself
as you are is a gift that leads not only
to self-acceptance but to true freedom.
Accepting and loving yourself for
who you are requires compassion. For
you to acknowledge your weakness
and shadow sides, you have to accept
the things you like least about yourself
as integral to who you are.
The goal of self-awareness is selfknowledge,
and ultimately self-acceptance
as the leader you are and the
leader you are capable of becoming.
