Acceptance

LIFE SAVER: 7

From Futurowoman

It's the hardest thing to do.
Accept circumstances.
Accept reality.
Accept that life didn't turn out the way you thought or wished it would.
Accept that you aren't the person that you wished you could be.
Accept your imperfections.
Accept your downfalls and the things standing in the way of you getting what you want.
Accept that life's not fair.
Accept that life is ugly sometimes.
Accept that life is hard.


But....
Let me ask you...
What is standing in the way of your life being all you've dreamt it to be?

You?

You are the only one who can do anything about your life, your health, and your state of mind.  The world has many ways of making you feel better or worse about yourself, but YOU are the one who has the choice to listen or not.  You can either take in the good or take in the bad.  You can accept your life as you are and continue to live.  Or...you can live in denial and continue to live a life and be a person that you are fearful of.  Life is not going to be easy.  It is not going to be perfect.  It will be hard.  You will change and you will surprise yourself when you turned out wanting to be a teacher instead of a fashion designer.  It's ok to be surprised.  It's ok to change.  It's ok to be scared.  But you have to keep living.  Because there is an amazing spirit waiting to come out and live and shine brightly after you stop holding it hostage.  

There is a way to accept life for what it is.  And there is a way to live a life accepting that there are many wonderful things to live for.

You make the choice.  And accept it.
