“No, my friend. To accept something means you stop trying to fight with what is. You stop trying to change things that are outside of your control to change. That’s exhausting. You must be very tired. Some things are impossible for us to change, and any time we try to do something impossible, it’s going to wear us out. It saps our life force. Our energy. Maybe you hate a thing more than anything. But it’s what is. To accept it means to see that it is that way, and that it won’t be another way no matter how much you hate it.”
