ACCEPTANCE
“And acceptance is the answer to all my
problems today.
When I am disturbed,
It is because I find some person, place, thing,
situation –
Some fact of my life – unacceptable to me,
And I can find no serenity until I accept
That 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.
Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could
not stay sober;
Unless I accept life completely on life’s terms,
I cannot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much
On what needs to be changed in the world
As on what needs to be changed in me and in
my attitudes.”
