Acceptance
The
first step in mentally coming out of any sticky, sad, or otherwise negative
situation is to accept that it has happened to you. Many a times the question is
asked, “Why me? Why does it always have to happen with me?” Under the
circumstances the questions may be valid – but it just shows a lack of
acceptance – and without acceptance there is no healing. When anyone asks me
this, I counter it with – why not you? What is so special in you? This may
sound heartless, but it is absolutely necessary to show the mirror and make the
person realise that this is reality – it has happened with you, now face it and
move on!
Understanding
is the first step to acceptance and only after acceptance can there be
recovery. Whatever happens in this world always happens for a reason, much
later in life when we connect the dots, we realise why certain things happened
with us in life. But when the incident takes place, we are invariably at a loss
and suffer its consequences. It is invariably our ego which blocks us from
accepting the circumstances, and with greater resistance the greater is the
pain.
One
can only start healing when one accepts whatever has happened and decides to
move on. First understand the occurrence, then accept it and then take steps to
recover from the trauma.
Always
accept, then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it, work with it
and not against it – once you start doing this you will slowly realise that
your whole life is being transformed. Acceptance and belief are the keystones
to spiritual growth.
Meditation
teaches you to live in the moment, it gives you the inner strength to face all
situations in life with strength and accept whatever God has to offer with
humbleness. Acceptance is the key to live in the moment, to witness what is
happening without getting affected by the circumstances. Once you learn to do
this you are well on the path to spiritual evolvement. Meditate – accept – live
in the moment – radiate joy.
