Understanding is Acceptance

Acceptance Quote

Acceptance is the Key

Acceptance is the Key

To me acceptance is the key to happiness. 

I am not suggesting that you not go for your dreams or fight the good fight but using the power of insight and logic to determine what is the next best step to take. Sometimes it is not taking a next step at all. 

Acceptance is loving and appreciating who and where we are right now, Not just striving to get to and what we want. I have found a quote that epitomizes acceptance for me. Maya Angelou said it right, "If you don't like something, change it, if you can't change it. change your attitude." 

I know from the very depths of my soul that the plan is for us to be at peace and joyful here in our human lives but sometimes I feel we short change ourselves by not seeing how wonderful things are. We hear the nudges of spirit to change things. Please remember that we cannot see the whole picture, that we can only see from our own perspective and that is a very narrow and small one view.


One of my favorite messages in song is applicable here:

"Sometimes I thank god for unanswered prayers, remember when your talking to the man up stairs, that just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care. Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers" -Garth Brooks

Truly the divine has our backs and if something is not happening for us or not the right timing, it may be the blessing of an unanswered prayer. They have something better and more wonderful for you planned. Therefore, your next best step is acceptance.

When reflecting on what I have and have not accomplished in this life, I of course find that I am my own worst critic. Not every memory is picture perfect and some have been far from happy but to realize that this is my walk, no one else's, I've found peace.  It has been a life long walk and often, the moments when I stop to reflect on the journey have been the most rewarding. 

There are times in your life that shape you.  I have definitely had my fill of them and am sure there are many more to come.  Some could look at the many failed moments in their life and fear the next steps but I say be brave. Walk into the unknown without a feeling of defeat due to the situations that didn't land in your favor.  Walk tall and accept that you are here, wherever that may be. And know that you have unlimited opportunities for greatness.    

You have an amazing chance to make this the all time story and it is yours.  Accept your failures, your faults, and flaws. Note that some failures and flaws are what make you unique...they are what make you great.  If you look at them and want to change them then do so.  I remember before my book was published, feeling like I had failed at accomplishing my goals in life.  My job was not my career.  My daily routine was not how I saw my life.  Then I realized all of it helped to mold me into something greater.  

My father always quotes the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr:

I love hearing him say that.  It is a constant reminder to be kind to myself and that I have greatness in my grasp.  By embracing acceptance and acknowledging the areas in my life that need to change, I feel hope for tomorrow.  This is a wish for all of you.

Warmly,
