acceptance

There are things I can't force. I must adjust.

The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself you open the door to change. That's all you have to do. Change is not something you do it's something you allow.

If a ship has been sunk I can't bring it up. If it is going to be sunk I can't stop it. I can use my time much better working on tomorrow's problem than by fretting about yesterday's. Besides if I let those things get me I wouldn't last long.

Accept that all of us can be hurt that all of us can-and surely will at times-fail. Other vulnerabilities like being embarrassed or risking love can be terrifying too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst take the risk.

What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable.
