There are some steps to take
Acceptance and forgiveness are the most important steps you can take on your path to a fulfilled and more zen life. Acceptance frees us from the unproductive burden of trying to control everything, while acceptance allows us to forgive those who have hurt us. The key is not to just accept things, but also to forgive. Acceptance and forgiveness are difficult but it helps in moving ahead in life and enjoying the blessings that God has given.
The Best Way
Living a life of acceptance and forgiveness is the best way to have a life more fulfilled. Living a life of acceptance means you accept every person, situation, and event as it is. Forgiveness is not about condoning the actions or thoughts of the person that caused harm in some way, but it’s about no longer holding them responsible for their actions or thoughts. We all carry baggage from the past, but it’s not so much about forgetting as it is about accepting and forgiving. The more you can do this, the lighter your heart will feel, and the more zen life awaits you. And more zen life, such as coping with death, forgiving others, moving on from painful relationships, or forgiving yourself.
You deserve Forgiveness too
If you can learn to accept yourself and forgive yourself, then you can live a happier life. When you accept yourself, you are able to let go of the hold that your past holds over you and be at peace with who you are. This is a freeing feeling that allows forgiveness to come easier than well. If you try to force forgiveness or expect it to happen overnight, it will never happen.
Acceptance and forgiveness are the leading way to have a life fulfilled and more zen life.
This series of lessons will demonstrate how you can let go of the past and live in the present. Acceptance is the most peaceful way to live a life; forgiveness is the most freeing way to live a life. Accepting your role in creating your own happiness and forgiving yourself for past mistakes can bring instant relief from anxiety, stress, and anger. Acceptance and forgiveness are about accepting reality for what it is. You may never be truly satisfied with life because there will always be things that you don’t like about it, but you need to accept them anyway so that you can be happy with what you do have. This doesn’t mean that you should give up striving for greater happiness. It means only that you should embrace those things which have no power or control over your emotions; things such as age, appearance, or health issues.
Happiness
Acceptance and forgiveness are the keys to happiness. When you forgive someone, you make yourself free from the pain in your heart. Forgiving doesn’t mean that you condone hurting yourself, but it means that you are choosing not to hold on to painful thoughts that only make your life more difficult. Practice forgiveness and watch how your life changes for the better!
Acceptance is the opposite of resistance.
It allows you to embrace the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are present at the moment. You don’t try to push them away or cling on to something you can’t have or hold on to the past. Acceptance is a mind state that takes practice but once you master it, you will begin to see how much your life has changed. Acceptance seems like the easiest thing to do, but it’s actually harder than you could ever imagine. Forgiveness is equally difficult, both things affect us on so many levels, physically and mentally. Acceptance can be hard because some situations aren’t truly within our control, yet we feel responsible. Things like accidents or illnesses can knock people off their feet and make them feel lost and confused, but they can still work through those times in life by accepting them. Forgiveness is equally hard because when we don’t accept something there is anger or resentment that builds up inside of us which just doesn’t leave us capable of loving ourselves or anyone else for that matter. In order for anyone to move forward with their lives they need to shut out those negative thoughts about themselves and others around them so that they can truly focus on being happy again. In short, acceptance allows us to come together.
The Struggle is real
Everyone wants to live a happy and fulfilled life, but sometimes this can feel like a real struggle. This is because we often don’t know how to forgive or accept ourselves. We constantly judge ourselves and have high expectations of what we should achieve and how we should be living. By forgiving yourself and others, you will experience less stress and anxiety and more clarity around what really matters in life. Once you understand how to accept yourself more and forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made, you’ll feel empowered with more confidence to begin making the changes necessary to create a happier life for yourself.
