The Word of the Day is "Accept".

We have to "accept" what we cannot change.

“How do we accept what we cannot change and move on with life?”

I’ve learned some important things on my way to reaching this spectacular age. Admittedly, in the beginning, a lot of what I learned was by try and fail. As I matured, I did get better at it, so most of the other things I learned were by trial and error.

The real fun has always come when I could pass something along to the younger generation that’s tried and true. The important word for today is “accept” ...

A Couple of Examples:

We’ve worked hard and we’ve done all we can. We have finally come to a point of knowing a job is dead end and it won’t get any better. We have no other recourse. Rather than keep things as they are and be miserable, we have to accept and move on to find a better job that will give us room to grow.

When this happens with love, it is especially painful. We can love someone with all our heart, but if the love is not returned, or worse, it’s abusive, and we finally know there is nothing we can do to change it, we have to accept it and move on with our life.

Both situations are painful, and each holds a powerful lesson. Nothing good will ever come from not accepting something that’s inevitable and moving on with our life.

Sometimes, the best thing to ever happen to us is right there, just waiting to happen … but only after we’ve put the worst thing to happen to us behind us in the past.

Nowhere is this clearer than in the present political atmosphere. What good does it do to fight it? It’s here and it’s now and it’s inevitable. Accept it and move on with life.

Remember … nothing bad lasts forever …
