\"Acceptance
Acceptance = Freedom<\/strong>: You Can Never Lick Cake by Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Artist \/ Self-Help Artist<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mysterious and magical things happen when we open our hearts and minds; when we see life \u201cas it is;\u201d as it truly is, without judgment, without surrender or resignation, without running away from, without story.<\/p>\n

Let go of the fight.\u00a0 <\/em>
\nSimply be the observer of what is.<\/em>
\n Recognize, harmonize, be in accord, <\/em>
\nfall together, happen <\/em>
\nsimultaneously; one in the same.\u00a0 <\/em>
\nBow to life.<\/em>
\nLet acceptance be your way.<\/em><\/p>\n

Audio bonus:\u00a0<\/strong> Let Acceptance Be Your Weigh<\/a> (Listen:One click-hypnotic acceptance available.)<\/p>\n

For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain. \u2013 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<\/em><\/p>\n

Acceptance is always the first light of transformative energy. Acceptance doesn\u2019t mean that we have to like what we\u2019re dealing with. It means we don\u2019t get stuck in whether we like it or not, we simply work with it.\u00a0 As soon as acceptance starts working, it opens up the possibility of further transformation. \u2013 Ginny Whitelaw<\/p>\n

I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don\u2019t want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It\u2019s high time that I accept all the great things about me. ~ C. JoyBell C.<\/em><\/p>\n

The moment that judgment stops through acceptance of what it is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace. ~ Eckhart Tolle<\/p>\n

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.\u00a0 \u2013 Nathaniel Branden<\/em><\/p>\n

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. \u2013 Melody Beattie<\/p>\n

Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune. \u2013 William James<\/em><\/p>\n

Happiness can exist only in acceptance. \u2013 George Orwell<\/p>\n

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations. \u2013 Michael J. Fox<\/em><\/p>\n

Let go of the fight.
\nSimply be the observer of what is.
\nRecognize, harmonize, be in accord,
\nfall together, happen
\nsimultaneously; one in the same.
\nBow to life.
\nLet acceptance be your weigh. ~ Janice Taylor<\/p>\n
