Won't acceptance of oneself and the world lead to stagnation?

Won’t acceptance of oneself and the world lead to stagnation?

When you accept yourself
you don’t become lazy or lethargic.

Lethargic is the other
extreme of aggression.

We are talking
about a balance
where you are neither restless
nor lazy.

When you accept
that this is what I am
and this is what I can do, you calm down.

In that calming down, you grow.
When your mind has freed itself fromagitation,
it gains tremendous knowledge,
a new quality of perception and thought.

Because it has gained
a certain clarity of vision,
the mind grows faster.

Yourpersonality expands.
You see things differently.
An agitated mind can only seeagitation.

We are taught to condemn it –
how bad the world is.
Then there are people who blame themselves,
their inadequacies –
like I am hopeless, I cannot do things right,etc.
Or I should have done better –
emotionally, intellectually, financially or spiritually.

There is a pressure for continuous growth,
but when does one say that he has enough.

It never happens.
You should accept what the creator has given –
this body and this life and whatever around you.

Let me find fulfillment with this first.
With this feeling of fulfillment there will be a lot of creativity.
