Acceptance is the place between resistance and ignoring

Acceptance is the place between resistance and ignoring. It is the ability to see reality for what it is and to find the power and grace to deal with reality. Acceptance is truly a super power. It is at the heart of personal power.

Many of us believe that resistance is power. Resistance is an energy of push and it takes a lot for effort.  If I pushed you, you would push back creating friction. This sets in motion conflict and there is very little opportunity to change something when we are on opposing sides and pushing against each other. 

Acceptance is an expansive energy of opening up to explore and discover what you can do to influence it. How can I make a difference, is the question that gets answered when we accept something.  

The challenge is to accept things we don’t like, we don’t understand or we don’t want. And that is where acceptance is needed the most.
