Quoting the Perks

I recently watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The movie was ok, it's one of those movies where people either love it or hate it. There was one line in this movie that has been on my mind since I watched it, "We accept the love we think we deserve".  Yesterday in Yoga my teacher brought up this quote and talked about how we often give ourselves limitations. I have been thinking about it more and more. "We accept the love we think we deserve" is not just the love between people or in a relationship, this love is the love that makes us, the love that encourages us, the love for ourselves. We sometimes limit ourselves in life because we don't think we could ever get the job of our dreams, or be the person we want to be. In class our teacher challenged us to recognize when we are giving ourselves limits and to stop those thoughts as soon as we get them. And I want to challenge you(though there aren't a lot of you :) ) to do the same. Recognize the times that you are limiting yourselves and stop those thoughts, soon those thoughts won't even come to mind. And I believe once we do this we will be able to accomplish more than we could ever imagine. Here is one last quote from the movie.

Have a good day!
