I believe, acceptance is a great virtue. Not because it helps us to cope better but because it brings peace of mind more than anything.
All the conflicts in our head, all the jealousy, judgemental thoughts; everything can endure effortlessly with acceptance. Also, it's a great way to change ourselves. If we don't accept our fault, we can never be better than that nor we can win in life. We will always be in a position to misjudge ourselves.
Let me give you an example from my life.
I never accepted that my words hurt others. I have seen some sad faces because of my words. But I used to believe I have said what I need to. I never look back and try to see what consequences I'm creating. I thought that I'm a wise talker. Deep inside, after a conversation, I sometimes felt like I have done something wrong. But never accepted that I was wrong, I was not a wise talker rather/probably have a big mouth. Later on, gradually I got the feeling that I m doing this wrong and I'm not feeling good. So I took the time to reevaluate and try to understand. This helped me to come to a position to accept the truth.
And do you know what it brings?
My mental peace and self-improvement. I would not say, I became a wise talker, there is a lot to improve. But certainly, people say positive about me now.
This is what acceptance brings.
Not only this, sometimes we make it hard to proceed in life. We never accept the truth, like after a breakup, after losing someone. If we accept it in the very first place, we can make the future path smooth for us.
Acceptance is not for anyone but us. We think that if we accept we will be less. But the truth is, acceptance is a change to change, to bring something good, to give ourselves more ways to improve.
Accept and everything will be easy.
What do you think?
We have the same take on acceptance. It really changes the way you think and helps grow in stature. You have to see the result once you accept your faults, your misgivings, your misconceptions or you name it.
Once you're through the process of acceptance, see the difference in the behavior of both parties!
Have a nice time!
Thanks for the wise words. I will keep that in mind.
You're most welcome my friend, we all must follow the same rule!

STOPAt every point in life, it is necessary that we know where we got it all wrong. The knowledge of that set us up for a better future, but failure to admit it, would mean that we keep doing the same thing, without making an attempt to correct it.
Good thoughts.
Yes, that's also true.
Thanks.
You're welcome @peacefulsoul
Acceptance works when it has to do with our flaws or deficiencies.
It does become the first step to a better person.
However, accepting a roadblock for a signal to stop or accepting failure as inability inability on our part could lead to poor self-worth.
We need to know when to accept and when to push forward.
That's true.
Thanks.
I am glad you see it that way. Have a lovely day.
Yes, acceptance would change our lives and even perspective to life. When we agree to accept the truth, we would even have peace within us and learn to improve ourselves.
That's the truth.
