To be truly unconditional in your loving and sharing with the world, you must first accept, love, and share with your own being. Opening to and trusting your own light is the only way to find that pure love and self-acceptance that will radiate to others. You are not only the physical being you see in the mirror. That material form is only an expression of your soul. Love what you choose to express in this world and appreciate that you have much to share. Being overly attached to a physical image or personality gets you caught in your own shadow web. Learn to appreciate the unique expression that you reveal and what you have to give from your heart.

Decide now that you will accept where you are right now and who you are in this dimensional form. Make a decision that you will share the truth of your soul. Acknowledge that you are not solely the image you have presented to yourself and others and that you are not separate from the world around you. Accept that you are integrated into the web of life and love yourself for your part. There is no reason to demand that you be something you are not. Be content — not with your dissatisfaction, but with your true grace. Be at peace with your being and begin to allow your inner beauty to shine.

Only when you accept that the shadow you cast on the material realm is not the real you can you let go of the illusions and really be who you are. Forgive everything you have materialized that you judge harshly, and know that this is not what you truly are. Recognizing your own illusion will free you to transform into a butterfly. Even the acts you judge as your worst can be erased when you accept that you are more than those acts and are able to see through their hold on your psyche. Then you can stop fussing over how bad you are and start being and giving the light inside.
