Accepting the life that we have



The word accepting send shivers up most peoples spines. Accepting often means to us we are giving up. Ever think that maybe the word accepting is getting a bum rap?
If we have to accept something, it means the outcome is not what we wanted it to be. But at some point in the human race we translated that into something that is worse than we wanted it to be. We never think something could be better than what we wanted it to be. Pretty arrogant when we think of it that way. Billions of people in the world and each of us want things to go the way we want them to. Just not possible. If we spend more time just taking life as it comes without so many expectations we may find we have happier lives after all. If every day can be a new adventure with endless possibilities and we could accept it as it comes we could exceed our wildest expectations. To never spend time and effort on worrying about things you can't change and living each day as the blessing it is, come what may................. sounds like pure bliss.
