Radical acceptance leads to inner peace from "summary" of The Radical Acceptance of Everything by Ann Weiser Cornell
Radical acceptance is a powerful practice that can transform our relationship with ourselves and the world around us. When we fully embrace and accept all aspects of ourselves, including our thoughts, emotions, and experiences, we create a sense of inner peace that is unshakable. This acceptance is not about resignation or giving up, but rather about acknowledging reality as it is without judgment or resistance. By accepting the present moment exactly as it is, we free ourselves from the burden of constantly trying to change or control things. This surrender allows us to let go of the struggle and resistance that often causes us so much suffering. When we stop fighting against reality and instead choose to embrace it, we open ourselves up to a profound sense of peace and serenity. Radical acceptance is not about condoning or approving of everything that happens to us. It is about acknowledging the truth of our experience and choosing to respond with compassion and understanding. When we accept reality as it is, we can let go of the need to constantly judge and criticize ourselves and others. This compassionate acceptance creates a space for healing and transformation to occur. When we practice radical acceptance, we cultivate a deep sense of self-compassion and self-love. We learn to treat ourselves with kindness and understanding, even in the face of our imperfections and shortcomings. This self-compassion allows us to embrace all parts of ourselves, including the parts that we may have previously rejected or ignored.- Radical acceptance leads us to a place of inner peace that is not dependent on external circumstances. Instead of seeking happiness and fulfillment outside of ourselves, we find a sense of contentment and ease that comes from within. This inner peace is a profound gift that we can cultivate through the practice of radical acceptance.
