Acceptance

There are so many things in life that need to be accepted, and doing so is a very healthy way of living. By accepting negative things, I can save my energy.

Instead of trying hard to win the attention of others or fighting for a place in another person’s heart, I can just relax and be contented where I am, of course trying to improve myself too but not for the sake of pleasing others but for goodness sake.

Instead of getting angry at the wrong things done to me, I can forgive and move on knowing that there will be more wrong things that are going to happen and I could commit blunders too.

Instead of criticizing the defects I see in others, I can praise the good qualities they have and remember that I too have defects that I don’t even care to overcome.

Instead of lamenting why I am like this and not like that, I can just thank God for giving me life and strive to give it back to God by serving others.

It takes a lifetime to accept everything. I better start now because I am already 47 years late. I might ran out of time accepting whatever there is in life.
