Acceptance as a doorway?
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, a Swiss doctor, mentioned "Acceptance" as the final stage in the grief cycle (series of emotional states). Here grief is used in the context of "change" associated with experiencing negatives events (e.g. losing your job or not being able to find a job). It's amazing how much easier life becomes when you accept that the life you find yourself in is yours. You are responsible for it. No one else is. We are not tapping into our immense potential when we spend our days blaming others for our circumstances and for our general mood. By doing so we procrastinate, i.e. we stop ourselves from living the life we were given. Also, we prevent ourselves from using our current lives as platforms into a more desirable future.
