📮 Want tools for the art of living? Sign up here: https://perennial.substack.com/subscribeMany of us treat our inner life like a home renovation project.If I could just fix my overthinking, my consistency issues, my need for approval, and my procrastination, I could finally become “the person I’m supposed to be.” Yet often, the more we try to fix ourselves, the more tense and self-doubting we become—it’s like we are managing a difficult employee in our heads.Here’s the uncomfortable truth: much of self-improvement is just self-rejection in nicer clothes. Stay with me... Carl Rogers—one of the most respected psychologists of the 20th century—offers a different perspective: real change doesn’t come from forcing yourself into a new personality. It comes from accepting what’s true, without flinching.This is not a call for complacency. It’s a call for a more realistic kind of transformation—one based on honesty rather than self-conflict.---  🖇️ Stay Connected: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/perennialmeditations/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PerennialMeditations---  🦉 Additional Resources: Perennial Meditations archive: https://perennial.substack.com/archiveListen to more podcasts: https://www.perennialleader.com/podcasts
