This week I want to talk about accepting others for exactly who they are.Īmor Fati is the acceptance and the embracing of your fate, or what life brings your way. Last week I talked about accepting yourself for exactly who you are, including all the things you like and more importantly the things you don’t like about yourself. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly.
