Acceptance is the boat that will carry you from a wounded past into the present moment. The present moment is a bridge to unlimited possibility.
Without the boat of acceptance, we stay on the shores of pain too long.
The boat of acceptance is moored in our own mind. But do not force the boat…allow it to rise and recede with the waves of emotion that come. Do not try to fight the waves – we cannot hold the ocean back. But we can hold our seat until the seas become calm once more. We can choose to stay on course. That is where our power lies.
