There's release in knowing the truth no matter how anguishing it is. you come finally to the irreducible thing, and there's nothing left to do but pick it up and hold it. then, at last, you can enter the severe mercy of acceptance.

Acceptance Knowing Matter

More From Sue Monk Kidd

Acceptance is not a talent you either have or don't have. it's a learned response. my meditation teacher made a great point about the difference between a reaction and a response: you may not have control over your initial reaction to something, but you can decide what your response will be. you don't have to be at the mercy of your emotions, and acceptance can be your first step toward empowerment . . . for me, acceptance has been the cornerstone to my having an emotionally healthy response to my illness.

If nothing that can be seen can either be god or represent him to us as he is, then to find god we must pass beyond everything that can be seen and enter into darkness. since nothing that can be heard is god, to find him we must enter into silence. since god cannot be imagined, anything our imagination tells us about him is ultimately a lie and therefore we cannot know him as he really is unless we pass beyond everything that can be imagined and enter into an obscurity without images and without the likeness of any created thing.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done nothing you can sing that can't be sung. nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game. it's easy. nothing you can make that can't be made. no one you can save that can't be saved. nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. it's easy. nothing you can know that isn't known. nothing you can see that isn't shown. nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. it's easy.

Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. there are many things below it, but there are also things above it. you cannot make it the basis of a whole life. it is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all. knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go.
Being In Love Love Is Feelings
It took a great deal of acceptance to come to terms with being an alcoholic, but the acceptance was key to my sobriety. if i had not gained acceptance at that time in my life, i would not be standing here today.

Self-acceptance begets acceptance from others, which begets even deeper, more genuine self-acceptance. it can be done. but no one is going to bestow it on you. it is a gift only you can give yourself.

The concept of loyalty is distorted when it is understood to mean blind acceptance. it is correctly interpreted when it is assumed to cover honest criticism.

Leadership Acceptance Masters
I stand among you as one who offers a small message of hope. . . there are always people who dare to seek on the margin of society, who are not dependent on social acceptance, not dependent on social routine, and prefer a kind of free-floating existence under a state of risk.
