When life feels hopeless, the practice of acceptance can seem like a dooming proposition. However, acceptance is often misunderstood. 

It is not giving permission for misfortune to continue. It is not resigning yourself to misery. It is not giving up. 

It is rooting yourself in the strength of your soul. Only then can you take full stock of where you are -no matter how difficult- and be certain that possibility is limitless. 

Acknowledging the truth of the moment isn’t conceding defeat. It’s merely giving the process of progression a starting point.
