Acceptance/Justification

[caressa]

This isn't on the list but clearly states where I am at. The nice thing is, that in today, I have the acceptance.

For many years I felt like I had to justify my existance and reason for being. Today, it is okay to just be.

When I don't have acceptance, I can't change. When I justify, I stay stuck and act out in old behavior.

I heard recently at a meeting the following -

JADE = do not justify, argue, defend or explain just accept the situation and get on with your life.

I have some plans in the works and my youngest won't accept them. So I have been using "JADE" . For me it is a variation of detaching from negative behavior/thinking.

I like that acronym Lildee. JADE...

I hope soon your youngest one comes around and can accept that things are not always like we want them to be and by accepting we can find peace and serenity.

I am in the ACCEPTANCE mode . This is what I need to do for ME. The bonus is..when I accept things are as they are and not try to change anybody, those around me are happier too.
