The Power of Acceptance
“You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give.” — Eleanor Roosevelt
Crayon untuk Pelangi Sabarmu, written by Natisa was recommended to me by one of my best friends some time ago. I never expected it to be one of the books that had the most deep influence on my life. Acceptance is the most important concept I’ve learned.
Acceptance involves believing that everything that has happened has been planned in advance. You don’t blame others or circumstances. Even the most powerful God. Clearly influenced by the unhappiness of the past.
Accept everything that has occurred, as well as yourself.
“Suffering is caused by your refusal to accept your current fate, not by God’s will,” Nati said.
When we fail, whether in a relationship or in our careers, we are frequently unhappy. Our bodies are directed by our minds, hearts, and logic, which insures that we will fail. In reality, pain is caused by our own actions. We continue to regret things that are clearly irreversible in the past, and strangely, we even sacrifice today in order to grieve, when tomorrow can bring us joy. However, we have faded with the aging process.
I frequently hear that the previous day should be used to teach the next day. Is it, however, that easy to learn something new? Especially if there is a blunder. The first and most important step is acceptance. Accept the facts of the situation. Whoever they are. We’re to blame, or someone else is, or we’re just victims of a broken system. Accepted.
Accepting our fate is the first thing we should do, but we don’t realize how important it is.
We recognize that we live in a complicated world. As humans, we are born with both strengths and weaknesses that can frustrate our progress. We admit that others may be superior to us. We realize that there is still a lot to learn from the situation. We accept despite our lack of experience. This is the road to disaster. In reality, if we improve tomorrow, this is only a minor setback. All of this, however, will be for useless if we keep complaining and isolate ourselves. In a simple terms, fate as soul. It’s heartbreaking.
Acceptance is related to everything that happens, not just negative events. Common emotions include difficult, happy, sad, angry, upset, and others.
In early 2021, I suffered a serious injury to my right knee, requiring extensive medical rehabilitation. Walking and other foot-related activities are difficult for me. I used to cry a lot in private at the time, either because I was in pain or because I realized that this injury was preventing me from achieving the majority of my future goals. Many of my ambitions necessitate a fit body and, most importantly, strong legs.
I’ll have to give up a lot of things I had carefully planned ahead of time. I’m tempted to give up and fade away.
Even when I’m with my friends, I’m not at ease. I’m at a loss for what to do. I’m in a lot of discomfort. Imagining 20 out of 30 seemingly impossible wishes granted gives me goosebumps. As a result, life is a puzzle. Unanticipated occurrence a future with no idea where it’s going.
Then, by chance, I happened to read the diary right after I finished the book.
“The key to life is acceptance.”
I began to wonder if this was a sign that I couldn’t accept the fact that I was injured and couldn’t pursue my dreams?
And the funny thing is, when I think of my prayer, “O Allah, give me a place in the future where I can play the best role in life,” it occurs to me that somehow the path I wished to is not the path where I can play the best role.
The only option is to accept reality. Accept it and move on. What should the future look like? Allow it to flow as it should. Something takes a long time to arrive. One of the most difficult things to do when bad things happen is to accept all of your feelings.
“Nothing really bad happens, it’s just us who don’t know the secret.”
It is possible that we only know one fact out of every 1000. Accept it first, then start learning.
Accepting that, despite the fact that the future remains unknown, it is predictable
The previous incident taught me that anything can happen at any time. The mystery of the future is uncertain, which adds to its allure. Based on what you know so far, predict it. We’re taught that achieving a goal has only two outcomes: success or failure. It is entirely up to the individual whether or not designed dreams come true.
That is the primary capital, which we can start using right away. That the future can be both sweet and bitter. As a result, we shouldn’t be surprised if bad things happen to sidetrack our plans for the future. Because we’ve already proven what can and cannot work.
The best way to predict the future is to create it — Abraham Lincoln
Acceptance requires becoming connected with all emotions
Many of us are unconcerned about our inner emotions. People can relate to holding on to their emotions until they build up and kill them slowly. Begin by imagining yourself in a state of sadness. A person’s sadness is frequently hidden behind the mask of everyday life. Or someone who is exhausted but compares his situation to others in the hope of never being in the same situation. Perhaps other people who are under the same amount of stress will be fine, but we are exhausted. Is this how we weaken? Most emphatically not.
We’re all too familiar with what happens after a feeling, rather than the feeling itself. Finally, silence has become one of our allies.
All of these feelings, however, are not completely unfounded. It’s not by chance that all of these feelings are present. It is critical to recognize and validate one’s own presence.
It is natural for us to be depressed, angry, disappointed, or upset. Everything comes to us in order for us to obtain a position. Not only happiness and pleasure, which we unquestioningly admit exist. The direct opposite feels the same way. Want to be noticed and hold a special place in their owners’ hearts Surprisingly, most of us are unaware of its importance.
All of the flavors present are a part of fate as well. People are able to feel this way. If not, the fundamental question of “Who is a human being?” may need to be clarified. We are human beings with a variety of emotions, as well as imperfections and strengths. That’s exactly what should happen.
We must be fully aware of it and then accept that our emotions are legitimate and that there is no meanness.
Face it with the most positive attitude and courage you can possibly manage
A person who understands all emotions is frequently taken the wrong way as a supporter of crime. People who, for example, use physical violence to express their frustration and anger. They claimed that it was an essential part of accepting their emotions. Despite the fact that this is not the case.
Accepting all feelings is more complicated than simply recognizing their existence. Our actions in response, on the other hand, are critical. Whether we can make peace with these emotions and express them to others in the best way possible. It’s also one of the characteristics that separates humans from animals. Including why you feel a certain way and how to react to it.
Finally, acceptance is the art of knowing oneself and living an eternal life.
