I just wanted to share this quote because it is so meaningful to me. I hope it helps someone else too. 

 

“Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.”

I think he speaks sense a lot of the time.  I'm less convinced by the claim for "miraculous transformation".  It sells books.  But hey, I'm a Presbyterian-Stoic... It is what you make it.

So real! I used to have trouble with radical acceptance, but have come around to the idea that only by accepting what currently is can we take action to change it.
