Acceptance is welcoming, embracing, and integrating everything the present moment has to offer, without
judging it as good, bad, right, or wrong. It’s your ability to develop a non-judgmental outlook regarding the present moment that’s the all-important skill that has the power to change the way you experience life, as well as the way you interact with others. However, although it sounds simple, it’s actually one of the most challenging things for many of us to do, especially when applying it to ourselves in our daily lives. So, today, set your intention to simply accept what shows up for you. Accepting whatever the present moment contains in its entirety can be a challenge because we’re much more accustomed to resisting the reality that’s presenting itself than we are to accepting it. Human beings are rarely pleased or satisfied with what the present moment offers. The human mind is always trying to change the present reality, which is why the practice of acceptance is such a struggle for most of us. And yet, the act of resistance (the opposite of acceptance) and the effort it takes to fight against reality, only serves to exhaust our energies and stops us from experiencing the learning, benefits, and growth the present moment has to offer.

Today, be aware of when you are resisting what is happening in every present moment. Today, accept what is. Accepting reality as it is, enables to you handle whatever life throws at you. When you work with life, rather than against it, you not only gain greater freedom but also lead to lasting change and positive transformation in your life. Today, choose to accept.

Just for today, I release all fears and doubts. I accept myself exactly as I am and create peace in my mind and in my heart. I am grateful for every experience I have ever had, for they have taught me so much and they have made me wiser and stronger. I am safe, divinely protected, and loved. And, out of this situation, only good will come. And so it is.
