I've enjoyed reading this.
I could take many angles on acceptance. I will state that which I have found most difficult and most rewarding to have learned. I have learned that acceptance is forgiving myself for making choices I now see were backwards. Acceptance is knowing I don't always know what is best and knowing I can live with that AND be happy. Acceptance is letting go of dreams when I cannot control the outcome of that dream. Acceptance is loving others with no conditions. In final, acceptance can be challenging, and isn't always easy!
