In everything you ever do, you're desiring to feel an outcome. Gratification, satisfaction, safety, happiness, pleasure, etc. But if you're not accepting all parts of yourself, then your energy system is not in integrity enough to accept miracles as they are trying to come your way. So you'll always grasp after dysfunctional addictions and vices or mental patterns like anxiety or stress or overwhelm or relational patterns of neediness and blame because you're constantly trying to fill your cup without realizing that it has a hole in the bottom. When you learn to accept all of yourself, you've learned to love yourself. Because acceptance = love. Therefore, learning Self-Love is the absolute mother of all progress in life.
