Acceptance

To accept
what has been
what IS
and what will be,
To be able to stand
immovable
and unshakable
as a mighty rock
that does not complain
nor wince out loud,
To be able to accept everything
and still stand,
is to truly possess
great power.
It is when things
have already been counted as lost
that all things rise yet again
to be gained.

- - unknown

A strong rock can withstand any blow, any wave crashing
against it. After the wave settles, the rock still stands whole.
Its happiness can’t ever be lost or swept away because its
happiness does not exist outside of itself

God, Grant me the maturity
to accept what I'm feeling
and the courage to correct
the actions that I took
that made me feel this way.

A good thing to remember.

Quote:

And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God's world by mistake. Big Book, p. 417

Quote:

"God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change,

courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference."

I don't have to like it in order to accept it.
