You can grant yourselves a permission to be just the way you are. Nature needs warmth to live and a season of stagnation to rest, a summer to grow, a winter to rest. It has all the opposites in itself and it is perfect in its imperfection. You will find the truth in nature, for in nature, everything is what it is: marigold, spruce etc. A marigold will not think: "Oh, if only I was like that spruce growing next to me, as big and as green! But I am just a trivial marigold". In nature, it is completely natural to accept one's own state and enjoy it. A marigold will not invade the space of a spruce and vice versa, for their needs are different and they both need their own space; both live happily without trying to invade the space of the other and accept their own needs. They collaborate and complete the whole by being themselves.
Life in itself is life, or love and beauty, and it is acceptable just the way it is at that very moment, no matter what it is. There is the mild west wind, the cold north wind, storms in their own time, for nature needs opposites to be well. If you remove the time of rest, winter, nature will perish; there would not be life on your planet if there was only day, for night and rest are needed. If, on the other hand, there was only night, there would not be life either; both are equally important to maintain life an well-being. Opposites are necessary and they all have their own place because balance is the core of everything and it is born as a result of the meeting of states. There is no balance if a weigh is missing from the scales.
Happiness is balance and balance is always the meeting of two states, when the meeting is also variation. Balance is born as a result of the meeting of different states, and accepting it, when there is happiness. A happy person opens up for he accepts himself and his own state. Everything in him opens up, and cell function can then work freely. Everything in the person is aiming at physical balance as well and he is feeling well on all levels. Man gives all this a chance when he accepts himself. There is no love or well-being in an imbalanced state; often there is a state of fear behind it all and behind the fear there is insecurity and a feeling of inadequacy.
The basic need of everyone is to be accepted and to be enough, to be well and to be happy; when this state is distorted, man can try to compensate it in various ways. He may criticize another, highlight himself and boast: "How good I am! I don't have that in me!" However, it causes contradiction inside and does not give him the security he is seeking or the acceptance of the environment. Instead, the contradiction underneath everything is whispering that this is not right after all; then the cycle is getting faster and faster. The individual is criticizing his state, when certainty crumbles and the need to compensate grows. It is a very lonely illusion producing ever increasing loneliness because, through this state, one cannot get to interact with the surroundings. Compensation can also be reverse, when a person adopts a servile and self-belittling role in order to ensure his own well-being. There are countless ways every one of which harms the individual in its own way, thus preventing his growth and the use of his own abilities. In this state he is only trying to please and get the approval of others.
