The desire to be unconditionally accepted

Expecting others who have not accepted many parts of themselves to unconditionally accept me is obviously not going to work. 

I need to unconditionally accept myself first. From that unconditional acceptance will spring an acceptance of others’ conditional acceptance. 

And when I accept even their conditional acceptance, I will also accept their whole selves unconditionally. 

From my unconditional acceptance will they gather the courage to accept the parts of themselves that they have rejected for long. 

And by accepting those parts will they arrive at a stage where they will unconditionally accept themselves. 

And from that unconditional acceptance of self will emerge unconditional acceptance of others. 

I am waiting for others to change. And perhaps, they are waiting for me to change. 

And once I change, the whole universe will begin to change. 

It doesn’t mean that I am special. It means that the parts of universe are intimately connected with each other.
