One of the most important factors that can help you build a resilient character to face adversity and the uncertainty inherent in the future is the confidence that whatever facts you discover about yourself—flaws, errors, failures, basic struggles—you have the capacity to deal with that knowledge as it is without the need of pretending things are otherwise.
For someone who is investing in their life and wants to see significant change for the better, truth—more specifically, what is irrevocably true about yourself—is not an enemy to distance yourself from, but a reality to welcome and embrace.
There is a popular idea in the culture that seems to side with this view. “Accept yourself” professional psychologists recommend, as well as less sophisticated personalities in social media. But you often find an extra statement to that injunction: “You are already good enough.”
Is it true? Is it right to think that self-acceptance means accepting the whole of your character as a positive net, whatever flaws you discover? How is that different from complacency? And what should be our attitude towards those things in ourselves that we know we can improve? Join Leopold Ajami and Ricardo Pinto in discussing how getting self-acceptance right or wrong can influence the way you lead your life.
