Acceptance is the answer to all of our problems. Our power comes from accepting people, places and things as they are, not as we would like them to be. The struggle of life is the result of trying to make things, people and places out to be the way that we think they should or ought to be. When we give up the desire to make things and people as we want to them to be we restore our power, we put ourselves in alignment with reality Our power comes from accepting reality as reality is, not how we want it to be. We have no control over others, only ourselves. We can practice acceptance, as that is in our control. Accepting people, places and things as they are and as they are not. To accept is to transform our life.
