Hi Everyone

I wanted to start an acceptance thread, we already have the positive threads and the rant thread which are great.

I feel that acceptance of ourselves, our loved ones and some stuff that happens can be a very healthy thing to do.

So I guess I better start .....



I accept that today I have said a couple of things that were a bit thoughtless!

So this is accepting the negative things?

Hmmm I accept the fact that I may have screwed up a few situations by getting too caught up in them. I know that I was doing the best thing I knew how to do at the time.

HUG OF LOVE!!!!! *hugs*

- Oh I love this thread by the way. We need more positiveness!

Oh I dont know, if anyone wanted to accept something fantastic, they could do that too.

Great acceptance though!

I like your idea jodee.

I accept that yesterday I took out my frustration about voice menus (where have all the people gone?) on the operators I finally found in the centre of the mazes of obscurity and double-speak.




Oh, we have to be able to accept the good or how can we receive it?

I accept that it must be true that I am a fantastic teacher!

I accept that I believe that I can have whatever I want from life.

I accept that I am allowed to believe that animals are god as much as we are god.

I want to accept that I'm not perfect and therefore not expect others to be.

I accept my psychic abilities and thank the Angels and the Universe for the help and healing I receive.

I accept that I seek perfection and try to apply it to all aspects of my life, and I accept that I may sometimes (up until now) fall short of this goal.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I accept without judgement that not everyone feels this way.

I accept that I dont want to go to bed, but have to, its getting late lol.

Hope there's more posts tomorrow.

Night Night.

I accept that I put myself down to much and do not do things at the extent of my abilities....

Such as school, of course. I accept I can do MUCH better, but yet choose to ruin my self and not to.

I accept the fact I must fix this bad habit.

Wow.

I accept that yesterday, despite the progress I made, I didn't make all the best choices.

However, I also accept that today is a new day, and I am living in right now.

I accept that change makes things uncertain, but that it is necessary to grow. I accept that avoiding working on my grad school applications won't delay the future from coming!

I accept that I am where I am supposed to be on my journey thru life,and that it's okay to be myself.I accept that the power of positive thinking may not change the world,but it makes a better Me.

wow... I've got a bit of a list here:

<clears throat>

I accept:

1. that I am a terrible dancer
2. that no matter how many times I try them, I hate those little violet candies
3. that I don't always perform my best
4. that others may dislike me
5. that I am weak
6. that I once had very strong friends whom have not survived this world
7. that I have work to do
8. my weakness is my advantage
9. this beautiful world I live in
10. whatever job is needed of me

Great idea for a thread, Jodee!

Okay...sooo... I accept that sometimes, the abilities I have can make life rather difficult or trying. But other times, they are a real blessing!

tonight i realised that i need to work on accepting the fact that i am flawed and so is everyone else--sometimes my expectations of those close to me can be unrealistic

so im accepting that reality isn't always perfect and imperfections can be beautiful

i am accepting that my parents wont fully understand me

i accept i cant sing top notch

i accept that this is the BEST forum ever

i accept.... its almost christmas! lol

I accept:
1) that I did a slightly stupid thing tonight. I stuck my hand in closing elevator doors (oops).
2) that I can't shimmy but I can still dance.
3) my life how it is. I like it.
4) myself for who I am, all flaws included.

Awwww

I accept that I did really well at controlling my inner harridan (mad, mean woman!) when I was out today.

I only felt like road-raging once, and you know what? I ACCEPT THAT IT WAS EASY!

I accept that it is all right that I do what I want to do instead of what I think I should be doing while I am on holidays.

Uh, oh. I have to B - R - E - E - E - A - T - H - E.

That brought up an old pattern.



You know what? It's members like you who help to make it that way! LOL



I enjoyed reading your list mote chaser! I especially liked 2 & 9. LOL

Thanks for sharing.

I accept the few new pimples which have appeared on my face and I accept they will leave soon because of my acne cream.

I accept myself, my life and its random (but universally awesome - pun intended) occurances!

I accept the glowing feeling I get about this new project I'm starting - it gives me hope for the future.

I accept the fact that *he* won't really talk to me even though he's my soulmate.

I accept my anger and irritation towards my computer when its internet cuts out in moments of use.

I ACCEPT LIFE!

This forum is so lovely. I love all of you.

That's nice Dot...

I hope the ointment works.

P.S. I'm not going to call it acne cream -- clear skin cream!

Ooh, thanks Victoria. I didn't know what to call it but.. Yes, it's clear skin cream.

Hehe, imagine the ads for it. "Buy the new Clear Skin Cream! It CLEARS your skin!"

Okay so that was lame.

I accept that it was lame but I laughed anyway it's okay.

i accept that my uncle isnt going to get better with the nervous breakdown
and i accept that my grandpa could either be as healthy as a horse, or put on a ventalator....

i find it really hard, but i accept

I accept that "It's not my businesssss!"

Ha ha ha that was just too cute for words and that picture of the pot planters was just classic! ROFL

What creepy and odd looking pot plants!

Yeah! That's why I like them! ROFL




He he he

Grummy, it's so nice to have you back... we missed you!

Thank you:D I had a few problems getting back into the forum .. sadly, while much improved, it appears I am still somewhat technically challenged!

Thanks to a conversation with Dorky guy, I came to a wonderful realization. Sometimes, it is ok not to know!
I don't know!
I don't know some things, and that is ok! Knowledge does not complete who I am! I don't need to know everything! And while I will continue to figure things out, because I find it fun, it is ok not to have answers!
Yay!

"true knowledge is knowing how to learn... and knowing you don't know everything"

-some guy on Yahoo Answers

I don't think you need a well known figure to quote something, if something is smart it is smart.
I also realized DG that back in July you had posted on my blog when I briefly talked about a need to figure things out. This might sound far out to you but it is almost like something unseen has come full circle.

yep its called growth i think

I accept that i cannot fix everything and heal everyone

I accept that even though i hate the holidays.. i can't hate those that do

I accept that i am a A-hole <---true story lol

I accept that i am an obsessive freak.

I accept that i love carbs....

I accept that my husband will never be perfect... *sigh* lol

I can so relate to these.

Great thread!

I accept...myself. I accept who I have become over the years, and while I know that there is something I can improve on, I accept that.

I accept that, while I have made a lot of mistakes, had done wrong to me a lot and have done and said a lot of things that I would otherwise regret, I realize that people make mistakes...but then I also realize that you can accept what you did wrong, and resolve to make that mistake a lesson. I have accepted all my past flaws, my present flaws and move on. Change as I need to change.

I accept that my life isn't where I want it to be, and it's extremely stressful. I know that it will get better, and there is a definate plan to get it there. I accept that I just need to change some things, and follow through with it. I don't feel bad about it anymore. That just hinders me.

I accept my husband. He's not perfect, nobody is. But I accept, and sometimes (sometimes not) love his flaws (which is really charachter, in my eyes). The flaws I don't love, I understand that he's an individual and there isn't anyone in the world who can make you happy ALL the time. The important thing is that they make you happy at the end of the day, and you would lose a part of yourself if you ever lost eachother. I accept my husband full-heartedly and I don't try to change the things that define him...even if they can be a bit annoying.

I accept death as a powerful, peaceful and loving transaction to the next level. I’ve died once and I never felt such a comforting envelope of love surrounding and making me feel like “I am Home.”

And that is a really great post!!

I'd like to have a go at making a post like that...

I accept that I am not perfect and neither is anyone else. I accept that my happiness is up to me and not other people. I accept that nobody can be happy all of the time - that life is rich with an array of different emotions.

I accept that things change and people move on. I accept and go with the Universal flow of life.

I accept that my views on happiness are changing and we cant expect to be happy all of the time. (Yet I still believe that acceptance of what we cant change + appreciation gives us a good grounding for contentment and happiness.)

I accept that I am still learning.

I'd love to hear more about that, and I'm sure others would to. Would you make a post about that TexasPsychic?
