One Minute Mindfulness - The Art Of Empowered Acceptance

As important as the practice of acceptance is on the spiritual path,

We need to remember that it's not just a blind acceptance,

A helpless one,

That it's rather an empowered acceptance.

It's one where we're meeting whatever situation is arising in every moment and bringing a degree of creativity and empowerment to it.

For example,

If we wake up in the morning and we realize that we have a flat tire,

We don't just say,

I accept that my tire is flat and never drive our car again.

We change the tire and get on with our day,

Bringing that same sense of empowerment and acceptance to any challenges that might arise.
