Accepting What Is
From: Intrinsic Hope
$1.70
Accepting the reality of the global eco-social crisis nurtures intrinsic hope because it gives us the possibility of doing something about it. By saying yes to our situation — even a qualified or reluctant yes — we accept responsibility for working on it. But if we avoid or deny the mess we’re in, we don’t have this option. With acceptance, we are willing to try to make a difference. Without it, we doom ourselves to failure and hopelessness.
