Acceptance

"Acceptance is the key to my relationship with God today." The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous

We can either push against the circumstances of our lives, or we can accept them.  Pushing against them causes us stress.  Acceptance is the path to peace, which also means it is the path to health.  That does not mean that we should ignore abusive situations.  We can and should do something about them.  But, what we usually push against are the general circumstances of our lives.  Take caregiving for instance.  Caregiving is probably something you did not wish upon yourself, but the reality is you are caregiving.  It is futile to resist the role.  If you cannot or do not want to do the task, then take action and find another way to provide the care.  But, while you are doing the task of caregiving, it is best not to resist it.
