Deeper lessons on Acceptance

 Over the last decade I have been trying to learn the lessons of Acceptance, write about it and apply it in my life. It was more about acceptance of unexpected or dynamic situations in life, acceptance of people with different personalities and mindset. In tolerance we avoid conflict and make peace  with the situation, in acceptance we make peace both within and outside us.

Acceptance paves ways to peace but acceptance does not mean becoming a passive observer to everything and becoming stagnant. Acceptance is complete only in action.  We accept the what is and act for the betterment.Mere acceptance without action sooner or later leads to stagnation. Suddenly a sense of awareness comes into our mind about stagnation creating ripples of restlessness in the peaceful  mind. Well every thought which comes to us from within is for us to act on it. Dont let this restlessness pave wave to self pity. Instead understand that nature puts us through restlessness to move towards further betterment, practice self Acceptance, be gentle on your self. You have already come a long way upto here. Tell yourself ,  "I am good enough, but I need to take action to become all the more better".

Whenever your own flaws or limitations comes to the awareness of your mind, practice Self Acceptance and Self help through Self efforts in an attitude of Surrender. Attitude makes a big difference in this journey.These are the baby steps towards Self Mastery.
