How do you balance self-acceptance vs. the drive to grow and improve yourself?

On the one hand, it’s a good idea to accept yourself for who you are… faults and all, right?

But on the other hand, isn’t it also a good idea to set goals and aim for something even better than what you already experience now?

How do you resolve this conflict?

Any thoughts?

There IS no way to resolve the "conflict", as there really IS no such thing. It's all just a state of flux- one will supersede the other, and vice versa.

i use laziness and procrastination. i don't accept who i am, but i keep putting off the desire to work on changing due to the desire to lay around.

Right now, I am the sum total of this life's experiences..... next week I will be the sum total of this life's experiences, next year I will be the sum total....etc etc...

there is no constant, other than acceptance....growth is perpetuating.

I'm driving towards self acceptance but have the metric system in the way because Jess is helping me with that and telling me it's not her problem.

The drive to improve myself is about 2 kilometers away because sometimes I forget that it is in my back pocket and "miles" don't count.

That's extra, and involves a 22 hour flight, crossing 6 time zones, to Brisbane, Australia, a two hour flight to Bundaberg, then an hour and a half drive to Agnes Water.... classes start at 8 00 am sharp...

is it a 2 full day weekend course or more of a full semester of 1 hour semi weekly encounters?
is there a practical lab environment or is it purely academic and theoretical?
