Acceptance

This CHOOSEDAY is all about acceptance…

On a spiritual level, the principle of acceptance involves letting go of our control and handing it to a higher power, whatever that may be for us. It is about letting life flow and unfold without getting in its way. It is about being receptive rather than being resistant to our present. It is about fully acknowledging the situation and not fixating on how we think it should be or why it isn’t as we think.

But how do we achieve acceptance? And how do we know when we have?

The first step, I would say, is to look at the facts. Stick to what we actually know. Make peace with the situation, knowing that we can’t control it. Accept the reality of what is happening and acknowledge when we are trying to fight it. Remind ourselves that we cannot change what has already gone before. Once we learn how to accept our present, we will be able to move forward more peacefully, and with the ease and flow that true acceptance brings.
