Acceptance

Acceptance is an important word ..if you try to fathom the depth and meaning associated with it. The environment surrounding us seems to be a game of performance and acceptance all over. Our own performance and our acceptance thereof, our own performance and its others’ acceptance, others’ performance and our acceptance thereof…acceptance is an important word. The never ending loop of accepting yourself and accepting others, as you are, as they are!

It is so easy to come across so many situations where every thing could just settle peacefully if you “accept” the things the way they are. One truth lies beneath everything, that happenings are beyond personal control. Here too, what is required is an acceptance of what you get in return of what you do. Be it a situation and/or people, the seemingly tough riddle of life suddenly gets solved : just incorporate acceptance..

Have a look below:

Accept that what you did in life was all you could do, accept that way you are trying to plan your future is the best possible strategic design to carve out your future, accept that you are the only available decision maker for your self, accept that you are the best decision maker for your self, accept that whatever you did at one point in time, was the best thing to do at that point in time, accept that what ever set of people you have around is the best you could get, accept that there are certain relationships available but would never be of the kind you are looking for, accept that there is a nagging feeling of loneliness which is there to stay, accept that dreams are meant to be shattered 98% of the times, accept that the remaining 2 % would give you all the satisfaction possible in life, accept that reality has the potential of scaring you, accept that there is a limit to endure pain, accept that beyond that it brings a numbness which is worse than pain, accept that there is always a possibility to feel good about everything around you, accept that you just have to accept to feel better about everything around you, accept that whatever happens- happens for good , accept that what ever happened-happened for good, accept that even if you don’t feel that way, it will hardly make any difference, accept that men and women are two different species even at the psychological level and they think and act differently, accept that 9 out of 10 times husbands would not put a crying baby to sleep, accept that kids do not grow up overnight, it takes years, each year consisting of 365 days, and each day in turn of 24 hours, accept that the battery of various remotes finishes off earlier than expected, accept that more the number of gadgets you have access to, more is the probability that one or two of them would be in a need of repairs, accept that the list to do never meets an end, accept that whatever advise you offer to your dearest siblings or friends, they will never learn from your mistakes, they will learn from their own, accept that lost opportunities are lost for ever, accept that time never moves in reverse gear, accept that you are the best person to pamper your self, accept that you should be the one to remember yourself at all times, accept that being good to others may bring the good ness back to you, even if from other sources, accept that keeping hope doesn’t do any harm, accept that miracles do happen, accept that there are no miracles in life , accept that life is unpredictable, accept that you may spend a life time and may never understand either yourself or the person who is one with whom you have spent your life with, ….accept that the list goes on and on…accept that whether you accept or not---life goes on…

We judge ourselves unfavorably with the hope it will motivate us to change. We hope if we feel bad enough about ourselves; that maybe a motivation factor for us to change. Acceptance exists at the core of every human being. It is our default status. It is to identify all the things we do not accept about ourselves. Then, one by one, eliminate them.

Notions of acceptance mentioned by you in this post are very prominent. We do accept every aspect of life. May be we are trying to overcome ourselves by accepting whatever comes our way. But as u mentioned – life goes on :)
