What Does Acceptance Mean? - Tuesday's MotivateUs Quote of the Day

Published: Tue, 10/01/19

Hi ,

It's Tuesday,

October 1, 2019.

Quote:

"Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don't fully accept the situation, you will never really know if the situation should be changed."
--- Peter McWilliams

This morning I had to report for potential jury duty. I accepted the fact that I might be there all day. Once I did, I relaxed and enjoyed the moments leading up to our dismissal - a deal was struck.

Imagine how you would feel sitting there waiting. Would you have been agitated, upset, or angry? By accepting what is, you can move onto "Where and what do I need to do next?"

Hope your day is incredible and that acceptance for what is helps you move on to what could be!

Love and blessings,
Marlene
