Adventures in Adversity: an inspirational podcast
Ep. 16: Accepting peeps for who they are (aka picturing them as trees)
07 Jul 2024
In this episode, I reflect on the concept of acceptance and the importance of accepting others for who they are. I share quotes from Ram Dass and explore the idea of turning people into trees, appreciating them just as they are. I'm hoppin' on the mic to refect on the difficulty of accepting others and the tendency to try to change them, emphasizing the need for self-acceptance and compassion, and how acceptance of others allows us to focus on working on ourselves. Key takeaways: 1) People are like trees, with different trunks and branches2) Different trees do better in different seasons, just like people 3) Practice self-acceptance and acceptance of others to create a better world.Sources: Ram Dass: Love Serve Remember FoundationLancaster PsychologyRam Dass quotes on Goodreads.com
