Acceptance vs Approval

Acceptance really is the answer to all our problems today. Until we can accept life completely on life's terms, not ours, we cannot truly be free or happy. We need to concentrate not so much on what needs to change in the world, but as on what needs to be changed in us and our attitudes. If we do not accept the things we cannot change, then we are fighting them. We are at war within our own mind. What are we fighting for, control over people, places, and things that you have not, nor will ever have control over. We must stop fighting everyone and everything. Remember, acceptance does not mean approval.
