The Power of Acceptance

The Power of Acceptance When someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don't want it to be done and when we are not able to accept it, we become angry. However, when someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don't want it to be done and we are able to accept it We remain tolerant. When someone has something which we don't have, or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce and we are not able to accept it we become jealous. When someone has something, which we do not have or someone is able to produce the results, which we are not able to produce and we are able to accept it we get inspired. When someone is present in our thoughts, but if not physically present and we are not able to accept it We say 'I am missing you'. When someone is present in our thoughts, but not physically present and we are able to accept it We say 'I am thinking of you'. Then the emotional equation is quite simple. Something + Acceptance = Positive Emotion Something + Non Acceptance = Negative Emotion So, it is not 'Something' or 'someone' that is making us feel positive or negative, but it is our 'acceptance' or 'non acceptance' of something or someone, which is making us feel positive or negative. It isn't the world but the quality of our response to the world (acceptance or non-acceptance) that determines the quality of our emotions. Next time we feel disturbed with a negative emotion, instead of asking who or what is disturbing us, we will examine who or what we are resisting (not accepting) that is causing this disturbance in us. We will replace resistance (non-acceptance) with acceptance, and the negative emotion will turn into a positive one. Emotional management begins when we stop blaming that 'something' or 'someone' and start taking the responsibility to respond to life with 'acceptance'.
