How can I accept my cowardice, hypocrisy, and other negative tendencies?

"To transform, embrace your cowardice and hypocrisy without denial; only in the acceptance of what is can true change begin."
According to Osho, acceptance begins by dropping the very desire to be different. Desire is bondage; transformation comes by relaxing into what is. Acknowledge every experiential fact—fear, cowardice, hypocrisy—without denial or repression. Stop clinging to fixed self-images of how you “should” be. Honest, nonjudgmental seeing unifies your being; paradoxically, only a brave person can admit cowardice, and this wholeness is the beginning of real change.
Gently notice your fear and flaws without trying to fix them, let go of “shoulds,” and by calmly accepting what’s real, you become whole and change naturally.
