Sometimes the best thing you can do in any given situation is to accept what can't be changed. This doesn't mean you're giving up or giving in. It simply means that you have acquired the wisdom to know where your energies will best serve the Greatest Good.
I'll admit here that acceptance doesn't come easily to me. I usually acquire it long after I've exhausted every possibility, and myself, in the pursuit of how I think things should be. It's my hope that from this point on I will find acceptance much sooner than I normally do.
To that end, I'm going to ask myself some important questions whenever I find myself in a challenging situation. Questions like... Is this my lesson? Am I doing everything I can to understand this situation? Am I equipped to handle this? and more importantly... Is this my business?
If the answer to these questions is 'no' then I am going to do my best to accept what can't be changed. I have a sense that my doing so will bring Peace to me and those connected to me.
