Acceptance

Acceptance is a form of surrender; it is the power to meet the present without resistance, blame, or expectation. Many mindfulness and spiritual practices start with a basis of acceptance, and move toward gratitude and letting go. Many psychological approaches also work to foster acceptance, as it helps to see the realities of our situation with clarity. The more clearly we can see the challenges in front of us, the more clearly we can see the opportunities they bring.
