"Why would I be offended by blonde jokes? I know I'm not dumb, and we all know I'm not blonde." - Dolly PartonDon't be offended by the things that seem to belittle you, from other people's opinions to the so-called standards you don't seem to live up to. You are the only person who knows yourself, and you're the only one who determines the best version of you.

Let's talk about self-acceptance.
Let's say there are days when you cannot accept certain aspects about yourself. Sometimes it is hard to understand why you do not have the perfect body, the perfect job, and maybe, why you are stuck with family you don't like as much.
Bad days, huh. Unfortunately, for some, it has become a daily fixture in their lives.
When you really think about it, it's how you perceive things that matters most. We have the tendency to compare ourselves to others. Although it can be difficult and inescapable, what usually happens is we start to feel a series of negative feelings not only towards the people who seem to have what we want or the people who seem to keep us from getting what we want, but we also start to feel bad about ourselves. We are not really victims of circumstances. Sometimes, we are victims of our own self-perceptions.
Do something about it. Start looking at things in a new light, especially when it comes to you. Accept yourself, your immediate environment.
Acceptance is not a surrender, it establishes your base point from which you start pointing your compass towards your true North and your direction.
