Acceptance keeps my mind clear and my heart light.
In the past, I may have resisted certain people and situations, insisting that they should have been different than they were. Living that way gave me no peace.
Now I practice acceptance. Accepting life as it is empowers me to shift my perspective and make new choices. I accept others as the spiritual beings they are. I also accept my circumstances, even as I understand I have the power to change them. I accentuate my blessings and choose to learn from any confusion or difficulties.
My acceptance has its roots in my faith and trust in God, knowing I am always loved just the way I am. Even so, I strive to become all I am called to be, expressing my greatest attributes and seeing value in all others.
Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have.
—Philippians 4:11
