What does it mean to accept what is?

from The Stoic Compass

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi sit down to untangle what it actually means to accept what is — not as a way of giving up, but as a way of seeing clearly. They push back on each other throughout, questioning whether acceptance is a matter of discipline, self-understanding, or simply getting out of the way. By the end, you will have something worth sitting with: the difference between fighting reality and learning to move with it. 📖 Pay Attention by C.
