ACCEPTANCE:

~

We are asked to accept many things: ourselves, as we are; our
feelings, needs, desires, choices, and current status of being. Other
people, as they are. The status of our relationships with them.
Problems. Blessings. Financial status. Where we live. Our work,
our tasks, our level of performance at these tasks.

Resistance will not move us forward, nor will it eliminate the
undesirable. But even our resistance may need to be accepted.
Even resistance yields to and is changed by acceptance.

Acceptance is the magic that makes our present circumstances
good. It brings peace and contentment and opens the door to
growth, change, and moving forward.

It shines the light of positive energy on all that we have and are.
Within the framework of acceptance, we figure out what we need
to do to take care of ourselves.

Acceptance empowers the positive and tells the God of our
understanding we have surrendered to the Plan. We have
mastered today's lesson, and are ready to move on.
