Acceptance is the first step to changing. Accept where you are and then do something about it. The two go hand in hand. So many people get caught up trying to rewrite history instead of accepting the present. You can beat yourself up for it if you want to, but also accept that you just made mistakes and then change. It's not your fault. Do yougess get that? But like when i was 21 and failing in college, that wasn't me. It'snot the me of to day. It's the me of yesterday."
