Why acceptance the key to change?

Tweet

What happens when you come up against a situation in life that you aren't able to resolve and don't want to accept? It's what I call being caught between a rock and a hard place, and it is undoubtedly a difficult place to be. However, I would say that when you do find yourself in such situation, all is not lost! Recently i came to a problem that i didn't want to accept and wasn't ready to let go of. I told myself that in accepting the situation, I would be allowing change to come about. Unfortunately, it was not the answer i was hoping for, and i was very frustrated then. However, a couple of weeks later I thank the Lord for my guidance and then shared a story to my friend. He explained that once i finally freed myself of the emotional hold the situation had over me and accepted things the way they were, something very surprising happened. An inspired thought occured to me that took me in a new direction and solve my problem! I said now I myself understood why acceptance was the key to change, and i am very happy and relieved to have learned that lesson. Mylotters, something magical does happen when you are able to accept what is. Accepting reality doesn't mean giving in or giving up. It means you accept things for what they are, rather than the way you want them to be. When this happens, you free your mind to look for solutions and opportunities that you weren't aware of beforehand because you had been focusing on the problem instead of the solution. This is an excellent example of the power the mind holds and how it can really help us get what we want. I hope this gives you hope and the confidence to deal with any challenges you are facing now and that your week brings you positive solutions and opportunities.
