Part of the real beauty of life is that it’s unpredictable. Nothing is permanent, everything changes; and of course, a lot of things can happen that will transform who you are and have an impact on your life. However, we are not programmed to accept the impermanence of everything in our lives and thus, we fight, struggle and resist the changes within us and around us. Today, recognize that acceptance is the key to transformation! Acceptance is not defeat. It is an acknowledgment of the truth. Once you accept where you are you will be able to move forward with greater clarity, courage, and strength. Acceptance offers you an opportunity to become unstuck, to experience well-being in the midst of your perceived struggles and suffering. Happiness is, after all, an inside job. It’s not about having perfect circumstances; it’s about making peace with what is and making the best of the hand that you were dealt. Today, find peace in acceptance. Accept that all things inevitably change, so embrace what is right in front of you and enjoy what is because it will change-accept it.

Just for today, I recognize that self approval and self acceptance in the now are the main keys to making positive changes in my life. I know that Love is acceptance-accepting people, places and things just as they are. Divine harmony and peace dwell within my and all around me. I feel compassion, tolerance, acceptance for all people, including myself. I am at peace and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
