I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should. I will not hide my tastes or aversions. I will so trust that what is deep is holy, that I will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever inly rejoices me and the heart appoints. --Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self Reliance"Love me for what I am and we shall be the happier. Releasing all judgments and simply accepting what is creates peace in our minds.
Drop the habit of judging. Just tell it to go. Yes, habits are tough to break and it can take some time to change. However, your intentions are everything. Intend to see the world through eyes of acceptance. Allowing others to be as they are is the key to your own peace.
