Accept yourself for who you are, and it will be much easier, to accept others for who they are.

The first line is ackward, better: "the way you are", like in the third line. In the second line the word "du" has no equivalent, maybe add "for you" at the end.

Tanushe, I like your proposal, it makes the text flow better. Thanks

Jairhaas, you are right about that "du", but IMO it's not nesessary to repeat it here.

PS. I'm sure the English expert (in this case Lilian) wont set a poll if something is "ackward" or strange with the TL.

Thanks for suggestions!

It seems many of you don't agree with "for who you are". I think it's a matter of taste, to me they have very similar meaning.

Lilian?

I don't see anything awkward in the text, if it conveys the meaning of the original I'd accept is the way it is now.

Honestly Pia I don't who who is right or wrong so I'll let Lilian decide.

As far as I'm concerned, the repetition should be kept:

accept the way you are... the way they are.

For example

Hello

I think you are right about the concistency, Isildur__ !! jairhass had the same idea. Thanks again for comments everyone. So, if you agreee Lilian, I like to do some edits:

"Accept yourself the way you are,
and it will be much easier,
to accept others the way they are."
