Description
“Do not fear mistakes; you will know failure. Do not fear failure; you will know success.”

Acceptance of our faults and the faults of others helps us to be patient and to avoid hurtful kinds of criticism or judgment. By accepting faults we become more able to trust and celebrate strengths. Paradoxically, acceptance often leads to growth because it creates a safe space for insight and understanding.

“Accept those you love for who they truly are. Thus is the true beginning of love; to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. And if that’s the case, just buy a mirror.”

Acceptance means embracing what is, rather than wishing for what is not. When we accept difficult realities, we are able to discover whatever positive feelings and experiences may be possible in that situation. We find ourselves more at peace and able to experience life more deeply. Even so, acceptance must be guided by discernment – learning how to tell the difference between what we can change and what we cannot.

“He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.”

Regarding the nature of reality, it all depends on who is looking and from where. Someone asked me once; if there was any chance they could ever see the truth in its entirety. “Well” I said, “would you think it possible to see the whole ocean while sitting on the beach?”

“Comparison is the thief of joy.”
