I would like to point out that acceptance has nothing in common with resignation, among other reasons because resignation leads to painful inaction as we consider that there\u2019s nothing we can do to change things.<\/p>\n<p>Acceptance achieves what resignation never can as, in contrast to the latter, \u201cacceptance\u201d is the impulse to action, to taking on responsibility, to being fully aware that you are indeed capable of responding to whatever happens. Acceptance implies that the action that you take is not to rebel against what has occurred but rather to rebel against the idea that one has no means of finding a solution.<\/p>\n<p>The moment that I open myself up to the possibility of accepting something, I am also open to the possibility of considering that there may be an opportunity to be found in this situation and that I can look on the other side of the coin, as it were.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Reinventing Yourself <\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Mario Alonso Puig<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite often, realizing some things is sufficiently painful for us that we don\u2019t wish to see them.
