Accepting What Is Not Ours

:The instant that fish accept that they never will have arms, they grow fins." Mark Nepo

Nepo goes on to say "before we can be what we are meant to be, we must accept what we are not."

How true.  How many of us take jobs, relationships, positions because it is something we fantasize we should have, but what about the true yearning of our soul? We must give up things that do not belong to us, to have what is ours.
