Acceptance
“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”. Part of the serenity prayer.
This rant is about the above. There are many things in this life that we all must learn to accept. This ranges from emotions to the mundane things such as the grocery store being out of something you need.
How we all deal with things in a time of loss is very important, because it can drive us to do stupid things like hurt the people we care about the most. I my self have done this more times then I can remember. I think acceptance is more about dealing with the things we can’t handle in constructive way. Instead of destroying the life that you have so hard tried to create with actions that have no reason.
I in the past year have had many things to accept, the death of friends to losing a lover that I cared so deeply for it is killing me to have them upset at me, the fact that I am a decent writer. There are a lot of things that we don’t often think about such as, what truth we all live by, and what truth others live by. I think that each one of us has a truth that we all live by and with so many different kinds of people and personality’s and ways of life somehow we forgot about the things and people around us.
Acceptance has a lot to do with forgiveness which the last rant was about. See when you put both of the together you get a better you get a person. There are a lot of reasons I see this as being a something that we all need to remember. That is where the serenity prayer comes into all of this. Let’s pick it apart and try to see where it fits in what I have just explained.
I will start with the part where “you must accept the things you cannot change”. In what I have written it is the third paragraph. When you must accept and deal with loss. See in my eyes that is one of the most important parts of the whole thing because when you have found a healthy productive way to deal with it you are more likely to make a positive recovery.
Now on to the part about the “courage to change the things you can” I understand this as a want to be a better person. We all make mistakes with the people around us and most of all our loved ones, wanting to repair the damage we have done. This is where forgiveness comes in you have to want it and others must be willing to give it.
Finally on to “the wisdom to know the difference” This is where you must just let go completely of what you are afraid of. It will give you strength later, but it will always hurt in the beginning. With that comes strength and understanding that there are certain places and things you can no longer go. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It will keep you out of trouble and happier.
To finish this I will just say the two rants that I have just posted are here to remind people that we are not so different after all and if we just remind ourselves of forgiveness and acceptance. We might just be able to make this life we all have to live a little better for everyone.
