"With recognition must come acceptance of what is."
It’s one thing to become aware, to see the pattern, and to name the truth.
But awareness alone doesn’t free us. Acceptance does.
Acceptance is not agreement or approval. It’s the willingness to stop resisting reality long enough to understand it.
To meet ourselves with grace instead of shame.
Recognition without acceptance can keep us stuck in judgment, avoidance, or even anger.
Recognition with acceptance opens the door to compassion, clarity, and choice.
Acceptance can take time. And often, it does.
But may we be willing to slow down enough to witness the process.
Today, may I be willing to see what is, and let that be enough for now.
