Acceptance

Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.  When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place or thing, or situation-some fact of my life unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.  Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake.  Until I could accept my addiction, I could not stay clean, unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy.  I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes.
