About This Quote
The first step to true enlightenment is to lighten up on yourself. In other words, the first step to enlightenment is accepting that you are not perfect and that you will make mistakes. The second step is to accept that your intelligence will never be perfect and that you will never do everything perfectly. Finding the balance of accepting your intelligence and imperfections while accepting that you can get better each time you try is what makes you truly enlightened. More than anything else, true enlightenment involves self-acceptance, acceptance by others, and acceptance of life.
