Acceptance brings peace from "summary" of You'd Be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow
Acceptance is not always easy. It is not always the first choice or even the second. It is often the last resort, the final door to walk through when all other doors have been slammed shut. It is a quiet surrender, a gentle acknowledgment that things are as they are and cannot be changed. Acceptance is not about giving up or giving in, but about finding a way to make peace with what cannot be altered. When we resist acceptance, we are in a constant battle with reality. We are fighting against the tide, trying to swim upstream when the current is too strong. We are exhausting ourselves with the effort of trying to control the uncontrollable. But when we finally embrace acceptance, we are able to let go of the struggle. We are able to release the tension in our bodies and minds, to breathe a little easier, to rest a little lighter. Acceptance is not about resignation or defeat. It is about finding a place of stillness within ourselves, a place where we can be at peace with the world as it is. It is about recognizing our limitations and our boundaries, and understanding that not everything is within our power to change. It is about letting go of the need to control every outcome, and trusting that whatever happens, we will find a way to navigate through it. Acceptance is a radical act of self-love. It is a declaration that we are worthy of peace, that we deserve to live without the weight of constant resistance on our shoulders. It is a gift we give ourselves, a path we carve out towards inner tranquility. When we accept what is, we free ourselves from the chains of expectation and disappointment. We open ourselves up to the possibility of joy and contentment, regardless of the circumstances that surround us. In the end, acceptance brings a sense of liberation. It allows us to move through the world with greater ease and grace. It enables us to find moments of beauty and grace in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. It is a doorway to a more peaceful existence, a way of being that is rooted in love and compassion. Acceptance is not a destination, but a journey. And on this journey, we discover that peace is not something we find outside of ourselves, but something we cultivate within.
