Acceptance, like Forgiveness . . . Will set you Free ! March 24, 2021
Accepting and Allowing 'What Is' is an important lesson to learn and once we are willing to learn and practice it, it turns into a powerful tool for releasing and/ or preventing unhealthy, heavy emotions (Vibrations) that otherwise hinder us in our life.
Non-Acceptance is a very common form of Resistance that we often hold as a result of judging something as ‘Right or Wrong’.
Unfortunately, judgment keeps us stuck in a place where we don't feel good, and this does not serve us.

It may be true that ‘I am right’, but what difference does it make that I am right? Does it change anything?
If not, what good is it to be right, when it doesn't change anything and it makes me feel so stressed?
The question then is: What do I want ? Would I rather be right and feel stressed or would I rather accept that it is what it is and allow myself to feel good?

Unfortunately many people cling to their ‘right’ and / or their ‘responsibility’ to hold on to non-acceptance because they feel that somehow it would be ‘wrong’ to accept something they believe to be wrong. I totally understand this perspective, as I too used to and at times still catch myself taking that position.
It is important to understand that by choosing acceptance we are not condoning or supporting what we are accepting. It also does not mean that we are resigned to doing nothing to better the situation. It just means we don't use our energy to resist something that we cannot change in this moment, and instead we create a space where we allow a beneficial shift to take place within us. From this shift we can then create better possible solutions or plans.

The most important and most often missed reality about Acceptance, is the same as it is about Forgiveness: Acceptance has nothing to do with others . . . it is all about us ! It is about the perceptions we hold and the resulting choices we make about how we want to feel and live our life. Acceptance, like Forgiveness . . . will set us Free of unhealthy, heavy emotions that do not serve us; and it will pave our path to greater joy and happiness . . . if we Accept it and Allow it !
Acceptance does not mean that:
I will not take certain action in an attempt to improve something.
I resign myself to something (i.e. it does not mean that I give up).
I ‘Approve’ of or condone what I am accepting.
I will not take certain action in an attempt to improve something.

I ‘Approve’ of or condone what I am accepting.
Acceptance does mean that:
I accept ‘What Is’. . . in this moment, allowing to release any Pain and Tension (Resistance) that causes dis-ease.
I accept what I cannot change . . . in this moment, with the understanding that:
* There is Divine Order.
* Everything is as it should be . . . in this moment . . . for whatever reason; even when I do not like it, understand it, or it appears otherwise.
* Everything is working out for everybody’s Highest Good . . . even when I do not like it, understand it or it appears otherwise.
I accept ‘What Is’ . . . in this moment . . . with the understanding that:
* I am able to accept something from the perspective that ‘IT IS’ in this moment without approving, liking, condoning, or reacting to it.
* I am . . . or I will do what I can (or must) do in an attempt to better something.
* It is my task to learn new skills that help me grow and expand for my Highest Good.

Another type of Acceptance is not about to what we cannot change, instead it is about what we must change but often either do not want to change or we are just not seeing it.
The sooner we accept the truth and decide to make changes within us . . . the easier and the better life gets.
I accept ‘What Is’ . . . that is not working or that is not serving me, and I start looking for ways to break this pattern and move myself forward into a beneficial direction.
