The World As A Reflection

It is my experience that the more I accept the world, the more I accept myself. And vice versa.

The more I forgive myself, the more I forgive the world. It's one of the hardest things for me to do, because I would generally think that it's fine to be hard on myself because it's internal, it's private. No one will see it. And no one is getting hurt except possibly myself.

But the world is a reflection of what's inside of ourselves. _My world_ is a reflection of what's inside of me. If I'm joyful, the world is a wonderful place to be in. If I'm in conflict with myself, the world is a harsh place to manage.

The best thing I can do to make the world a better place is to forgive myself. And the best thing I can do to myself is to accept the world--the good, the bad, everything.
