Acceptance

[kglassman]

I know this sounds bad, but since nothing is making me feel good, I’ve come to the realization it won’t happen. I need to just accept my life how it is and move on.

That’s what I have done. Haven’t looked back since. I hope you find peace.

Now that you’ve reached a level of acceptance, begin making the most of what you have! There’s no rule that says you can’t find happiness within your current limitations. Don’t rely on your family/friends, but rely on yourself for your feelings of well-being and contentment. I rely on my higher power for strength and guidance. This, of course, is optional! Wishing you the best!!

You can accept things and also stay hopeful. I hope you can get some relief.

Acceptance is the key.

I hear what you are saying, but I’m not sure that I am reading it right. I worked on acceptance and I got to a point where I realized that, “right now, everything in my world is exactly as it is meant to be”. Through this realization I have found contentment, serenity, and joy.

So if you feel that you are settling for less by accepting your life as it is, you may be surprised with the actual outcome. Fighting for contentment is like pushing a rope, acceptance is a much more fruitful effort.

I really like this post. It helps me think through the entire process of irrational thought.

I start with the concept “things are not good or bad, it is the view that I wish to take of them that makes them so”. So if I choose to view my life in primarily a negative way, my life will be negative. Perception becomes reality, so my life is negative or bad.

Next I look to find how this negative view of my life is serving me. If it is not serving me well, I then look for a view of my life that serves me better.

When I accepted that my life was not good at the moment and that the past was the past and I could never be that person again because of what I had been through I actually felt like a huge weight had been lifted from me.

Since then I was able to focus on the present and just being me and feeling a bit stronger. I still have a long way to go but accepting things has actually helped me to move on and I have managed to reduce my medication and I do feel happier and can see a but further into the future and it does look a bit brighter.

I hope your acceptance helps you too. Xx

Thank you for the post. I love the title. Please remember nothing can make you feel good. In all actuality, you control that process. So what I understood when I read the message is you aren’t feeling good about anything you experience in life. You control your happiness and what you allow yourself to feel good about. It’s all about your thoughts and expectations. Spend a day by not labeling anything as good or bad and just let your day just be what it is. At the end of your day, reflect on it and then if you want to label any events you experienced, find the good ones. For instance, it’s good you woke up alive and healthy, possibly drove somewhere without getting in an accident, had a meal you possibly enjoyed, and etc.

I had to get rid of my expectations and be ok with life as is. Most times I’m by myself and it is ok. I’ve accepted being responsible for my own happiness and being my own hero. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything. Wishing you continued blessings!!!
