You Do Not Need To Be Fixed

Premasudha says the key to spiritual progress is self-acceptance. To just surrender to your truth and accept yourself, your experience, and your situation. By surrendering to the truth of you, life gets easier. It is ego saying we need to fix ourselves, or we aren't good enough, and need to be different from what we are. Praying for self-acceptance is a powerful action. Allow yourself to open to Grace through accepting yourself.

You don't need to be fixed at all.

You just need to feel love and to,

You know,

Love and forgive yourself for whatever mistakes you feel you've made.

You guys,

You know,

Basically you have to just totally surrender.

But if you go like,

I'm trying to,

I need to be fixed,

Like,

What an unloving thing to say to yourself,

Right?

How profoundly unloving that is.

And if you feel it,

That is profoundly unloving.

So if you feel that way,

This is our states,

You guys,

This is what's so sad about the West.

You cannot fix yourself.

Your ego can keep you busy your whole lives trying to fix yourselves.

All you can do is accept yourselves,

You guys,

That's it.

Just accept yourself.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I remember,

You know,

When I was raising kids and I was with my mom and I was having a hard day with the two of their little,

And she said,

Just pick up the burden.

What she was saying was just accept the fact that they're like two little munchkins and it's,

You're going to get nothing done all day.

And you're tired because you haven't had enough sleep.

And stop fighting the situation.

And it was such good advice.

Like within 10 minutes,

I had just accepted that it was going to be one of those motherhood days,

You know,

Where nothing got done and,

And then the day felt so much lighter.

And we started having a really good time.

So this is what I want you to do.

It's you get covered with fairy godmother dust when you do this.

You get graced and you can't really do it with your ego and you can't do it with your head.

You can pray for it.

You can pray with all your heart for self-acceptance.

If you guys prayed for self-acceptance,

If that was your prayer,

An ongoing continual prayer for self-acceptance,

You would make more progress on your journeys than you have in the last decade.

I promise you.

I promise you.

That is the secret.

Just accept yourself and your situation.

And then it changes.
