This week I have struggled with the ability to accept... acceptance, simply accepting what we have and not wanting more. Try as I might, I can not make people the way I want them to be (or need them to be)! Fortunately acceptance resides within us. If we are able to accept ourselves, the good the bad and the ugly, we are also able to accept others as whole human beings. We often require more from our relationships, more material goods and more from ourselves. I used to associate acceptance with mediocrity. I worried that if I stopped wanting then I would stop achieving. However, I now realize that the opposite is true.
“Out beyond ideas and wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.” - Rumi
