The power of acceptance

The power of acceptance

Acceptance is not the same as giving up.

Giving up means: I give up what I want.
Acceptance means: I accept what is.

And that difference is crucial.

Because as long as you fight against what is, you continue to expend energy on resistance.
Energy that you need to move forward.

Acceptance creates space.
Space to feel what is there without pushing it away.
Space to observe without judging.
Space to choose from a place of clarity, not fear.

This does not mean that you accept that it will stay that way.
It means that you accept that this is how it is now.

And from that acceptance comes the possibility to change.

Not because you have to.
But because you can.
