Acceptance - a self-inflicted word

-
I have browsed through different versions of dictionary to find the word's meaning but then I realized that EXPERIENCE will define the word perfectly...

Acceptance means that you can find the serenity within to let go of the past with its mistakes and regrets, move into the future with a new perspective, and appreciate the opportunity to take a second chance.

Acceptance means that when difficult times come into your life, you'll find security again and comfort to relieve any pain. You'll find new dreams, fresh hopes, and forgiveness of the heart.

Acceptance does not mean that you will always be perfect. It simply means that you'll always overcome imperfection.

Acceptance is the road to peace - letting go of the worst, holding on to the best, and finding the hope inside that continues throughout life.

Acceptance is the heart's best defense, love's greatest asset, and the easiest way to keep believing in yourself and others.

Words "Not-So-Normal" People Want to Be Told

Try it for a change. Speak with kindness and acceptance, or at least with an open mind. Say, “you're amazing,” or “awesome,” “fabulous,” or some other equally pleasing adjective of your choice. Do not qualify your compliment with a but or an even if, and mean it. I love you son, you are as perfect as you were when you were born. There's nothing wrong with you, but a lot wrong with the world for not loving you the way I do. You're just like me, son, strong and brave. You're just like your mother, kind and beautiful. But I'd rather be like you in the way you’ve faced everyone, even me, when I’ve tried to sway you into becoming what you're not. Apologies and fears Say sorry. Because there's always something to be sorry for, even if it's an unspoken word or an acknowledged sentiment. Sorry I didn't want to listen to you before and sorry if I didn't know what to say. Sorry for my silence, for hoping "it" would pass or would...

I Work Here Because…

SOURCE One Short, Simple Mental Exercise for Work-Changing Results mo·tive  [moh-tiv] noun 1. something that causes a person to act in a certain way, do a certain thing, etc. Your motive is directly related to your motivation at work. Although this may seem like an obvious concept, if you take a step back and reflect on your motive, you begin to see how compounded and cluttered your motivation can become. For instance, answer this one simple question: Why do you work where you work? Can you fill in this blank: “I work here because…” If you’re struggling to answer these questions, first off, you’re not alone. Secondly, you might want to do some basic soul-searching. According to researchers at Portland State University and the University of Michigan, reflecting on the meaning of your work (your motive) is one of the most effective ways to keep your energy up at work. Once you figure out the “why”, write it down, post it somewhere around your desk, in your car or a...

A Minute to Say Hello and Forever to Say Goodbye

She said she had to go. Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye? We still had some time left and I was trying to drag it as long as possible. Only problem was I couldn’t think of anything that would force her to spend some more time with me. “So do you need a lift to some place?”, I asked hopefully … “No“, she said, she’d rather take a rickshaw. (Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again. ~William Shakespeare) “Well then”, I said, ”I guess this is the last goodbye then”… Why couldn’t she see that I was trying to stall her as long as I could ? This was the last time we would meet. I knew it. She knew it. It was inevitable. It was fate. It was destined. And it was tragic. What about all the time we spent together? We did have good time… No we had a great time. I made sure of it, making sure she was laughing or smiling all the time. I was always bad at goodbyes.They never came out right… I always choked on my best prep...
