Acceptance is often touted as the right move spiritually, and I think that an awful lot of us waste years trying to accept the things we are meant to change…
Accepting the unacceptable creates resentment. Resentment creates rage. Rage turned inward creates depression, and depression is a great excuse for martyrdom…
When we ask for acceptance and don’t get it, it’s not because G-d is hard of hearing. It’s because the answer is no. We are not being told “Try harder.” We are being told “Stop trying.” We are being told “Move on.”
—Julia Cameron, G-d Is No Laughing Matter
