Accepting is NOT defeat, it’s adding layers of intimacy with the universe or higher power and getting more acquainted with them.
-Kyle Higgins, Mental Health Counselor
Does acceptance of something that didn’t go your way a form of defeat?
This is something my counselor and I recently talked about in a grueling session. For new readers that may not know, I have clinical depression and have been seeing a counselor years.
OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS “FINALITY”. THERE ARE THINGS WE EXPERIENCE IN A LIFETIME THAT WE CAN’T CONTROL. WE DON’T CONTROL OTHER PEOPLE, FOR EXAMPLE. WE CAN SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THEM BUT ULTIMATELY, IT IS THEIR CHOICE TO DECIDE IF THEY FOLLOW THAT EXAMPLE. WE CAN GIVE ADVICE, BUT ULTIMATELY THE DECISION MADE IS IN THAT PERSON’S HANDS. WHAT WE DO HOLD CONTROL OVER IS OUR OWN CHOICES. WE WILL HAVE NEGATIVITY TO DEAL WITH DURING LIFE, AS WELL AS PAIN.
WE CAN CHOOSE TO FEEL THE PAIN, AND LOOK FOR THE GOOD FOUND WITH ANOTHER BUT WE CANNOT BE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTCOMES OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS. WHETHER IT IS OUR CHILDREN, OUR FRIENDSHIPS OR EVEN OUR FUTURE, WE CAN GUIDE WHAT WHAT WE WANT TO HAPPEN, AND STILL HAVE UNEXPECTED TURBULENCE FROM OUTSIDE EVENTS WE SIMPLY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.
LIFE IS SHORT. ONE OF THE EXPERIENCES WE MUST FACE IS FINALLY ACCEPTING FINALITY WHEN OTHERS ARE INVOLVED OR THEY DECIDE TO EXIT OUR LIFE. SOMETIMES IT MUST BE US THAT ACCEPTS FINALITY. IF A RELATIONSHIP CAUSES US PAIN AND IS UNHEALTHY, OR SOMEHOW IS HURTING US MORE THAN HELPING US IT MAY BE TIME TO ACCEPT THE FINALITY OF A SITUATION. IT HURTS IN LIFE WHEN WE LOSE PEOPLE WE LOVE WHETHER IT BE BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO GO, OR GOD CALLS THEM HOME. WE DEAL WITH A SERIES OF STAGES TO GO THROUGH ANY HEALING PROCESS. FIRST, WE ARE IN DENIAL. NEXT COMES ANGER. AFTER THIS, WE FEEL IMMENSE SADNESS, AND FINALLY WE ACCEPT WHAT IS OR THE LOSS OF SOMEONE WE LOVE FROM OUR LIFE.
WHAT WE MUST DO, IS LET GO OF THE ANGER STAGE. WE FEEL ANGER AND THIS HELPS GIVE US STRENGTH, OR SO WE THINK, BUT ULTIMATELY IT STOPS US FROM GETTING TO THE NEXT STAGE WE NEED TO DEAL WITH TO GET TO FINALITY OR ACCEPTANCE. ANGER OVER TIME, HURTS US MORE ANYTHING. ANGER IS LIKE A VIRUS SPREADING IN THE BODY. ANGER CAN EAT AWAY OUR LOVE FOR OTHERS INDIRECTLY CAUSING US DAMAGE IN THE RELATIONSHIPS WE STILL HAVE IN OUR LIFE. WE OFTEN FEEL IT IS EASIER TO STAY IN THIS STAGE TO AVOID FEELING THE NEXT STAGE WHICH IS HURT, SADNESS AND PAIN. THIS IS WHY IT IS HARD TO GET PAST ANGER AND MOVE ON LEARNING TO COPE WITH THE SADNESS OF LOSS OF ANY KIND.
ONCE WE REALIZE AND FEEL THIS LOSS, IT ALLOWS US TO MOVE ON TO THE FINAL STAGE, ACCEPTANCE. WHEN WE ACCEPT THE LOSS, WE THEN BEGIN TO HEAL. YES, THE PAIN AND MISSING THEM WILL HURT STILL, BUT THE TIMES WE SHARED AND THE LESSONS LEARNED WE LEARN TO FOCUS ON. WE REMAIN ULTIMATELY AT A PLACE OF ACCEPTANCE AND FINALITY. FINALITY CAN BE HARD WITH ANYTHING.
SOMETIMES WE FEEL RELIEF WITH FINALITY, BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, WE FEEL THE LOSS. I WISH THIS WERE MORE ABOUT SOLUTIONS BUT WE MUST EXPERIENCE ANGER TO GET TO SADNESS, AND THEN ACCEPTANCE AND LETTING GO. FINALITY WITH ANYTHING WHICH BROUGHT US HAPPINESS, HOWEVER LITTLE IT MAY HAVE BEEN, IS HARD TO ACCEPT, BUT IT IS IN ACCEPTANCE WE WILL BEGIN TO HEAL. DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP YOU KNOW HAS REACHED ITS EXPIRATION DATE? DO YOU FIND YOURSELF FULL OF ANGER AND SOMETIMES EVEN RAGE? LIFE ISN’T FAIR AND SOMETIMES WE DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN A RELATIONSHIP ENDS OR TO BE HEALTHY, WE MUST LET GO OF IT. HOW DO WE HEAL? LOVE FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL IN OUR LIFE BECOMES ABUNDANT LIKE A VACCINE OF SORTS JUST AS HATRED IS A VIRUS. LOVE GROWS AND FILLS OUR HEART WITH JOY INSTEAD OF OUR HEAD IN ANGER AND HATE. PART OF LIFE JUST LIKE A BEGINNING IS AN END. FINALITY CAN BE WHAT IS NECESSARY TO DRAW HEALTHY BOUNDARIES FOR OURSELVES EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY. THIS MAY MEAN LOSS, BUT IT ALSO MEANS FREEING UP SPACE WASTED IN TRYING TO CONTROL OTHERS AND THEIR ACTIONS. DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE BEST WAY TO COPE WITH A PARTICULAR SITUATION ENDING? LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW OR A QUESTION AND YOU WILL GET A RESPONSE. I RESPOND TO MY QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS, EVEN IF IT TAKES A FEW DAYS. THANKS FOR READING…IF YOU HAVE HELPFUL ADVICE, LEAVE IT IN THE “JOIN THE DISCUSSION” AREA BELOW THIS POST. THANK YOU, SAMANTHA

Does acceptance of something that didn’t go your way a form of defeat?
This is something my counselor and I recently talked about in a grueling session. For new readers that may not know, I have clinical depression and have been seeing a counselor years.
This past Monday, I had a particularly gruelling, but ultimately rewarding, session with him. Our main topic was perception of four words that may seem either negative or insignificant.
Those four words are accept, believe, breathe and live. I’m sure all of us have certain pre-conceived notions about each of those words. But what if we looked at them in a different light?
𝔸ℂℂ𝔼ℙ𝕋: There are certain ways of the universe which we can never change. What we can change is our perception of acceptance. As today’s quote says, accepting is NOT defeat, it’s adding layers of intimacy with the universe or a higher power and getting more acquainted with them. In every successful relationship, there is give and take. Why should a relationship with God be any different?
𝔹𝔼𝕃𝕀𝔼𝕍𝔼: Not being in control doesn’t always equate to suffering. The universe or God is not out to personally gets you. Rather, they want to nurture you and help you build survival skills for both the good AND the bad. Believe that every bad experience will teach you something and help you in the future.
𝔹ℝ𝔼𝔸𝕋ℍ𝔼: “Hey! Pay more attention to me. I am keeping you alive after all.” Or so your breathing might be saying when you’re panicking or having an anxiety attack. In those moments, just take a minute to calm your breath down (& not the other way around). Stop it from running too fast by holding it back & then releasing it gently.
𝕃𝕀𝕍𝔼: You were sent here as a human being & not a robot for a reason. You’re meant to live. Take full advantage of it. Don’t squander that right.
How do you feel about these perceptions of the words above? How do you personally view them? Is there a specific part of your life that framed your beliefs? Or is it living in general? Share your thoughts and experiences by commenting below on our secure servers.

SOMETIMES, WE HAVE TO SURRENDER. WE SIMPLY LOSE CONTROL SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY. WE fight against some things in life and it is a battle. We continue to try any option available creatively or otherwise, and end up with the same results we had before we tried to change something. The power of surrender even in the face of loss is sometimes a win.
For example, some of us simply don’t have control over recreational use of alcohol. We constantly abuse alcohol when we drink and try to control it but we can’t. We do everything possible to continue drinking, ultimately proving to ourself we simply don’t have control over. The best thing we can do is surrender. Have you ever heard this saying? “To repeat the same behavior over and over again getting the same result is the definition of insanity”. I have found this statement to be true. There are many things in life we simply cannot control. We may try every avenue to continue to try to control these things, and many different avenues we pursue to continue doing what the small side of us which can be so powerful.
We ultimately, after fighting as hard as we can we must surrender and are simply powerless sometimes over something or someone. The most powerful thing we can do in this situation is surrender. Our own ego can’t stand it when we view as losing. I believe those who can accept defeat when the consequence of continuing a behavior that is harmful to us or others, can be viewed as a loss but to lose gracefully and accept what we can’t change allows us to be a winner in the end.” Many people in abusive relationships who admit defeat and realize we cannot change another’s behavior, is called “hitting bottom”. In cases like this, the best thing we can do is to surrender. Let’s take a look at the. meaning of surrender.
Definition of surrendering in our Webster Dictionary-1. Give up or hand over (a person, right or possession), typically on compulsion or demand. Cease resistance to an enemy or opponent submitting to their authority.
Daily Wisdom Word Definition of surrendering-Giving up on something when we finally accept defeat in the end, eventually benefiting in the end when what we are doing is harmful to ourselves and others.
Surrendering can be one of the hardest things we do in life. Sometimes there are addictive forces at play like power, temporary rewards ultimately ending in disaster for us or others. However, there is great power often found when we finally surrender to something that is harmful or destructive. We find we are stronger with acceptance verses denial. We find a certain inner strength when we are able to accept loss surrendering for the greater good of ourselves.

What is realism? It is simply put, according to the Webster Dictionary, accepting a situation as it is and making the best of it. How often do you see realism in today’s world? People try to protect their emotions, and they are not open about them. We live in a world of obscurity where everyone has their phone to their ears or earbuds in having private conversations. It used to be when I was growing up in the eighties, that people loved to converse in person. Then, along came technology which in and of itself is not a bad thing, but other than play an xbox game together, what do you see in technology that creates intimacy? Do you have the feeling when playing xbox games, it is creates an intimate setting to establish deep bonds? I think by now, my readers are certainly getting my point.
I used to think no matter what, there was something special about everyone. Of course this covered the 90’s up to the millennium, and then things began changing. I noticed that it was not just movie stars could talk. At this point, there were self-help ads every other commercial.
I might be able to help others. I had an infinite amount of content and questions and they were all sincere. I noticed that people seemed to care more about how they looked in others eyes rather than their own. This is when I began to realize realism was more precious than ever. If we have to mold their personalities to fit other another person’s tastes and likes, this is the opposite of realism. With our friends, if they are true friends, we should be able to be ourselves in every way. We don’t have to share all of our secrets, but if we would like to see the friendship progress, we naturally will reach a comfort level to begin sharing more about our past, present, and future. Being real with someone starts the first day you meet them. Remember the basics. Simply be yourself, and realism becomes a common word in your vocabulary.
As I mentioned in the beginning, one of the definitions of “realism” is accepting things as they are. This definition also can be described as us being realistic about our situation. There is no need to be someone you are not, or pretend to live in an ideal world when it is not one. If you don’t feel comfortable in your world, you do have control over one thing: changing yourself. Realism isn’t as easy to experience around others in today’s world. Sometimes it is important to remind ourselves that “getting back to the basics” may be necessary for us to remember who we truly are and how we are really living. thanks so much for reading!

“Acceptance makes an incredible fertile soil for the seeds of change.”
-Steve Maraboli
There was an article I wrote for this site a few months back on acceptance and the aftermath of going through bad situations in life. I am posting parts of that article again but first, I feel the need to add something crucial to it that has more or less donned on me in the last month or so.
Sometimes in life, we find ourselves grieving. Grieving is a part of life along with loss. When we lose someone we love, especially when they are suffering, we feel a mixture of emotions. Part of us wants to see our loved one out of pain prior to death. There is another part of us that still sees the person they once were before they got sick because their soul is the same one they were born with. Sheer willpower and strength and hope we want so badly to believe in.
While the person is alive, despite the ultimate prognosis of death, there are miracle cures where no explainable medical reason can be given for the cure, you do hear of cures happening in rarity. Still, no matter what our loved one asks us before they pass on, we want to give them hope. I was faced with this question from my niece, my sister’s daughter. I am sure they are all very angry with me now, as I told them what I honestly thought; based on decisions made in the earlier stages of the particular cancer she has, radiation was stopped after the therapy burnt her skin so badly she could not swallow, eat or drink. I can’t believe it just a little over a year ago we originally got the diagnosis. How do we cope with our loved one when she hasn’t faced the reality herself and what should your role be in this situation? Her two young grown daughters, 21 years old and 23 years old, still had not realized the seriousness of her illness which could be deadly and still unsure of her final outcome, as she dropped to a mere 74 pounds losing more than half of her body weight. When my niece (her daughter) asked me if I thought her mother would make it, I shared with her I didn’t based on my opinion. I don’t know if I did the right thing given my nieces age.
Perhaps the opinion shared with my sister that she would not make it when she asked me, and sharing with her daughter my honest thoughts have been viewed as negative, but I felt it would not be right to lie to either of them when the purpose of my visit was to go out of state and say goodbye for an ungiven amount of time. Now that we are gone and I said goodbye, as we were leaving, sadly my sister could not even speak aloud goodbye back. her newest tumor is growing quickly and had finally cut off use of her voice box. I failed to mention her passion was singing. Strange how these things happen. Jenny carries with her the love of so many people including myself where it is a little like the story, “Where the Red Fern Grows”. I feel we started off together playing as kids and our fern grew in different directions as we took different paths in life yet remained intertwined. However, both ferns lived remaining with one another as they stayed alive over tbe past 50 years. This was supposed to be a more optimistic take on grief, but as I write this story, I know I am still too sad finding myself at times over the past weeks breaking down crying.
I will offer some advice that I found helpful when I researched, “how to deal with grief”.
1. Write. Purging your feelings on paper can be helpful and a way to release them in a way that isn’t self sabotaging. 2. Talk to individuals who care about you but also have the ability to be objective about the situation. with matters of the heart this serious. 3a. trust is necessary in your faith during this tragic time. having doubts in your faith is normal. You are dealing with loss of a loved one, whose fate is/was completely out of your hands. Anger is normal and trying to blame someone, whether it be her doctors or God is normal. Realizing this is part of the overcoming the first stage of grief, denial. 3b. anger is the second step of grief. talking out your feelings can help you deal with coping, especially when talking with someone of a professional nature such as a counselor or psychologist. 3c. bargaining is also a part of the five stages of grief. how do we handle this? we must accept in life we don’t and cannot control everything. bargaining is a way of trying to hang onto control we never had to begin with when losing someone. 4. Depression is the4th of 5 stages of grief. We must cope with it, but draw the line when it comes to acceptance of the loss without dwelling on the sadness. Life does change. You may have a bad day one day, and a good one the next. this is how we deal with depression, stage four of grief. 5. Acceptance. It may seem we don’t or aren’t able to get to this stage. In time, however, it will come. Does this mean our feelings of love and loss of our loved one will disappear? No, it simply means we develop coping mechanisms for dealing with these feelings. As many say, coping with loss is a part of life. this doesn’t make it any easier to deal with; only time passing can help us with this.
You will always wonder if you did or said the right or correct things to your loved one after they have passed. I personally, will always wonder if I dealt with the situations presented to me the best way possible. There is no “magic formula” to deal with grief. Only time can begin to heal the pain and wounds of the loss of a loved one. Thanks so much for reading about grief, and I pray this article has brought you some form of peace.

LIFE IS FULL OF THINGS WE EXERCISE TOLERANCE WITH. IT COULD BE THAT WE ACCEPT TOO MUCH OF WHAT ISN’T NORMAL, OR WE DEVELOP SELF-TOLERANCE. WE WILL TALK ABOUT BOTH THINGS. FIRST, LET’S TALK ABOUT SELF-TOLERANCE TO SUBSTANCES. BEFORE WE DO, HOWEVER, LET’S FIRST LOOK AT OUR MEANING OF TOLERANCE FROM THE WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND ITS DAILY WISDOM WORD MEANING.
WEBSTER MEANING OF TOLERANCE-1. THE ABILITY OR WILLINGNESS TO TOLERATE SOMETHING, IN PARTICULAR, BEHAVIOR OR ACTIONS ONE DOESN’T NECESSARILY AGREE WITH. 2. THE CAPACITY TO ENDURE CONTINUED SUBJECTION TO SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY A DRUG, TRANSPLANT, ANTIGEN OR ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE
DAILY WISDOM WORDS DEFINITION-TO BUILD UP A RESISTANCE TO THE EFFECT OF SOMETHING. 2. TO LEARN TO ADJUST TO SOMETHING THAT BOTHER’S YOU.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT BOTH MEANINGS. TOLERANCE TAKES DISCIPLINE WHEN LEARNING TO ACCEPT SOMETHING YOU NORMALLY WOULD NOT ACCEPT. MANY TIMES, TOLERANCE OF SOMEONE ELSE’S HABITS YOU DON’T CARE FOR IS REQUIRED IN A RELATIONSHIP TO MAKE IT WORK.
TOLERANCE ALSO CAN MEAN BUILDING UP A RESISTANCE TO CERTAIN SUBSTANCES OR ADDICTIVE DRUGS. FOR EXAMPLE, PERHAPS ONE USED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ONE BEER AND FEEL ITS EFFECTS. OVER TIME, WITH REGULARITY, A PERSON NO LONGER FEELS THE FIRST BEER. IN FACT, IT MAY TAKE THREE BEERS TO PRODUCE THE SAME EFFECT FOR THAT PERSON.
AS WE SEE, TOLERANCE CAN BE BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE. IN REGARDS TO RELATIONSHIPS, TO MEET SOMEONE WHOSE HABITS YOUR COMPLETELY COMPATIBLE WITH, IS RARE. THIS IS BECAUSE TWO PEOPLE IN A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP GREW UP IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS, AND ALSO HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSONALITY THAN THE OTHER PERSON. TO FIND SOMEONE YOUR 100 PERCENT COMPATIBLE WITH, IS HARD TO DO. TOLERANCE CAN MEAN ADJUSTING TO THOSE DIFFERENCES.
SOMETIMES, THE ABOVE CAN BE A NEGATIVE THING. FOR EXAMPLE, I GREW UP IN A HOUSEHOLD WITH A PARENT WHO RAISED THEIR VOICE TO ME WHEN UPSET. SO DID MY PARTER. THIS CREATES ISSUES, AS WE BOTH TEND TO YELL AT ONE ANOTHER WHEN UPSET.
TOLERANCE, AS YOU CAN SEE, HAS DIFFERENT MEANINGS. I HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED READING ABOUT TOLERANCE TODAY AND IT HAS MADE YOU THINK IF YOUR TASTE OF TOLERANCE INVOLVES ADDICTIVE SUBSTANCES. YOUR COMMENTS, POEMS AND QUOTES ARE ALWAYS APPRECIATED, AND CAN BE LEFT FOR ME TO READ AS WELL AS OTHER READERS DIRECTLY BENEATH THIS POST WHERE IT SAYS, “JOIN THE DISCUSSION”.

“Acceptance makes an incredible fertile soil for the seeds of change.”

FOR MOST QUESTIONS WE HAVE, THERE ARE ANSWERS. SOMETIMES, WE ASK QUESTIONS AND GET AN ANSWER THAT REALLY DOESN’T ADDRESS OUR ORIGINAL QUESTION. THIS POST WILL BE ABOUT GETTING THE RIGHT ANSWERS TO PARTICULAR QUESTIONS. IT WILL ALSO ADDRESS ACCEPTANCE WHEN THERE ISN’T AN ANSWER TO A QUESTION YOU HAVE AND HOW TO ACCEPT THIS PEACEFULLY. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEFINITION OF AN ANSWER.
WEBSTER DEFINITION OF ANSWERS-A THING SAID, WRITTEN OR DONE TO DEAL WITH OR AS A REACTION TO A QUESTION, STATEMENT OR SITUATION. 2. A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM OR DILEMMA.
DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION-1. A RESPONSE TO A QUESTION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT ADDRESS THE ACTUAL QUESTION ASKED. 2. SOMETHING WE SEARCH FOR WHEN WE HAVE A QUESTION THAT WE DON’T ALWAYS FIND.
FOR MYSELF, IT IS IRRITATING WHEN I ASK SOMEONE A QUESTION, AND THEY DON’T ADDRESS IT DIRECTLY WITH AN ANSWER. IT HURTS ME ALSO, THAT SOME THINGS IN LIFE WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT, WE DON’T ALWAYS GET AN ANSWER FOR.
SOMETIMES, I FEEL WE MIGHT NOT GET A DIRECT ANSWER TO A QUESTION IF WE ARE ASKING SOMETHING THE PERSON SIMPLY DOESN’T WANT TO ANSWER. INSTEAD, WE GET AN ANSWER, BUT IT DOESN’T PROVIDE THE ANSWER WE ARE LOOKING FOR. BE PREPARED, ESPECIALLY WHEN EMOTIONS ARE INVOLVED, OR WHEN IN A RELATIONSHIP ASKING QUESTIONS YOU MAY NOT BE MENTALLY PREPARED TO GET THE HONEST ANSWER TO. SOMETIMES, IF WE ARE NOT READY EMOTIONALLY, IT IS SIMPLY BEST NOT TO ASK THE QUESTION UNTIL WE ARE READY TO HEAR THE ANSWER. CHANCES ARE, IF WE FEEL AFRAID TO ASK THE QUESTION, A PART OF US KNOWS THE ANSWER TO IT ALREADY.
THERE ARE TIMES IN LIFE WHEN A SITUATION ENDS, AND WE WANT AN ANSWER WHY IT ENDED. IT HURTS SO MUCH TO BE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE, AND THEY SIMPLY DON’T FEEL THE SAME WAY. PERHAPS WE’VE BEEN FORCED IN A CORNER, AND MUST END A RELATIONSHIP. WE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE OTHER PARTIES BEHAVIOR, AND PERHAPS WE WON’T GET AN ANSWER EXPLAINING THAT BEHAVIOR. WE OFTEN WONDER, WHEN SOMEONE PASSES AWAY THAT IS YOUNG AND HEALTHY, WHY THEY DIED. THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE DON’T GET ANSWERS TO IN LIFE. ACCEPTANCE IS HARD, KNOWING WE CAN’T FIND THE ANSWER NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE HURT.
YOU MAY WONDER HOW I PICK A DAILY WISDOM WORD. I PICKED THE WORD ANSWERS TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE A QUESTION I WON’T RECEIVE AN ANSWER FOR, AND MIGHT NEVER GET ONE. I THOUGHT OF QUESTIONS THERE ARE NO ANSWERS FOR. PERHAPS ANSWERS, LIFE ALL THINGS IN LIFE, HAVE A TIME AND PLACE TO REVEAL THEMSELVES. THIS IS WHEN WE MUST ACCEPT THE UNKNOWN AND FIND PEACE, REGARDLESS.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT ANSWERS TODAY. PERHAPS I’VE MADE YOU THINK ABOUT THEM AT THE VERY LEAST. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY..SAMANTHA
