Your Truest “Acceptance” Speech

You “win” each time you display compassion to yourself

We all seek accolades, acknowledgment, confirmation, acceptance, and appreciation from our peers, friends, colleagues, family members, co-workers, and employers. That’s part of the reason why we enjoy award ceremonies and TV specials like the Oscars, the Emmys, the Tonys, the Grammys, etc.

How exciting these programs and events become, especially when they are mixed in with celebrities we admire, or movies, TV shows, plays, and musicals, or songs that we enjoy.

“I’d like to thank…”

Assuredly, many of us may fantasize about what we’d say should we ever be on stage, in the “limelight,” as the “winner” for our best performance, screenplay, production, wardrobe or make-up design, and so forth.

Winning is always a wonderful thing.

Yet, we win every day and night, don’t we?

When we awaken each morning or go to sleep at night and are grateful for another day. Some days are more challenging than others, and some nights are straight-out thrilling with joy and excitement. But either way, every day and every night there is something to appreciate and for which to be thankful.
