Acceptance

I found this wandering the web today, and thought I'd bring it here. It was something I needed to read again and again. Hope you enjoy it.

Acceptance means that you
Can find the serenity within
to let go of the past
with its mistakes and regrets,
move into the future
with a new perspective,
and appreciate the opportunity
to take a second chance.

Acceptance means you'll find
Security again
When difficult times come
Into your life,
And comfort to relieve any pain.
You'll find new dreams, fresh hopes,
And forgiveness of the heart.

Acceptance does not mean
That you will always be perfect.
It simply means that
You'll always overcome imperfection.

Acceptance is the road to peace-
Letting go of the worst,
Holding on to the best,
And finding the hope inside
That continues throughout life.

Acceptance
Is the heart's best defense,
Love's greatest asset,
And the easiest way
To keep believing
In yourself and others.
