ACCEPTANCE:

So much of our anguish is created when we
are in resistance. So much relief, release,
and change are possible when we accept,
simply accept.

We waste our time, expend our energy, and
make things harder by resisting, repressing,
and denying. Repressing our thoughts will
not make them disappear. Think it. Let it
come into reality. Then release it. A thought
is not forever. If we don't like it, we can
think another one or change it. But to do
that, we must accept and release the first
thought.

We make life harder by resisting and
repressing our feelings. No matter how
dark, how "inappropriate" we might deem
our feelings, resisting and repressing will
not free us from them. They will swirl
inside us, torment us, make us sick,
compel us to do compulsive things, keep
us awake, or put us to sleep.

In the final analysis, all that we're really
called on to do is accept our feeling.

Acceptance turns us into the person we are
and want to be. Acceptance empowers the
events and circumstances to turn around
for the better.

What do we do if we're in resistance, in a
tug-of-war with some reality in our life?
Accepting our resistance can help us get
through that too.

Acceptance does not mean we're giving
our approval. It does not mean
surrendering to the will and plans of
another. It does not mean commitment. It

is not forever. Acceptance does not mean
we accept abuse or mistreatment; it does
not mean we forgo ourselves, our
boundaries, hopes, dreams, desires, or

wants. It means we accept what is, so we
know what to do to take care of ourselves
and what boundaries we need to set.
Remember, we don't have to like it to
accept it.

Acceptance and surrender – two concepts
that hurt the most before we do them.
