What does acceptance mean to you? Acceptance is valuing all parts of who you are unconditionally. You acknowledge the good and bad parts of yourself so your able to improve. We definitely struggle on self acceptance, we tend to think very critical about ourselves. No matter what size or shape you are, you have to accept the person who you are today.
The purpose of my event is learning to accept yourself in the moment.
I write this because six months ago I had to learn who I was all over again. I felt lost, misplaced, and depressed for months. It started January 18th when I was in a horrible car accident. A car ran a red light an t-boned my car and I flipped over three times. Yes, I know what you are thinking, how is she still alive? I was able to get out the car with no scratches but a bruise on my side. Yes my back was sore, my neck was out of whack and had one hip higher then the other. I was still able to walk away from this accident with my head up high and say, “Thank you Jesus for giving me another chance.”
I could have lost my life but God blessed me with a second one. I’ve decided to utilized my second chance and put it to work. I stand here no longer feeling numb, disconnected, and depressed from the world. Because I am a new person I had to relearn myself all over again. People take years to learn themselves, but I took only six months. Re-learning myself was the most hardest thing I ever had to do. I felt pain, unmotivated, and not sure of myself. My most important step I had to learn was to value who I was unconditionally. I had to acknowledge all good and bad parts of myself, so I can make improvements. I struggled about self acceptance because I can be so critical about myself. By learning my struggle I found my motivation, acceptance, confidence, passion and just being myself again. I’ve questioned my circumstance rather than just excepting my circumstance. I may not be the same person but I am a better person. Learning to accept yourself in the moment.
Speakers
I did have speakers for this event but I cannot just give credit to the four people I chose, I have to give credit for all those who spoke and listened. After listening to my four speakers I asked the audience if they were interested in speaking, more then half the room raised there hands. It amazed me because a lot of these women didn't know each other and they felt comfortable speaking about depression, being emotionally abused, health issues, relationships, disabilities, and much more. I would normally share what each person said but this time it became very personal. Each individual had something powerful to say and each one has a purpose in life.
All these ladies turned there negative experience to something positive, which makes them who they are today. These ladies found there purpose in life through there own struggles.
