s-a day 10

The secret of self acceptance is.... not expecting too much of others, for only thereby do we learn not to expect too much of ourselves. I don't think I do expect too much of others. But what is wrong with expecting too much of ourselves? Doesn't that help us strive to be a better person? I have relaxed some in this area but I don't want to relax entirely. I don't want self-acceptance to give me license to not try.
