“Acceptance is the portal to peace which I found through the ability to trust and forgive God, self and others. It will lead you on your path to Ah-Man.”
"When I first thought about acceptance, what came to mind was the thought about doing something without question. But I understand acceptance to be so much more. Today when I am in a state of acceptance, I will do something regardless if I have knowledge to validate going forward. Acceptance is absolute trust, absolute faith. When I am in “my” acceptance place, outside events can occur but they don’t trigger old reactions. When I am tapped in and turned on to my acceptance, I am in a place where I instinctually make the right choice about God, myself and others. Why? My primordial man is balanced with my Ah-Man. I do not even have to think about it. It truly is a state of peaceful resolve about all that comes into my life."

Here are some of my favorite quotes about “Acceptance:”
“The first step towards change is awareness. The second is acceptance.”–Nathaniel Bransen
“The quickest way to change your attitude toward pain is to accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth.”– M. Scott Peck
“Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief is in denying them.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson
“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.”–Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Acceptance is not submission; it is acknowledgment of the facts of a situation. Then deciding what you're going to do about it.”–Kathleen Casey Theisen
And, of course, the best of the best . . .
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”–Reinhold Niebuhr
