1.
Accept what is present in your environment.
You don't have to like it.
But neither do you need to judge or fight against it,Instead, acknowledge whatever it is and take your choice of action.
If you like it or can use it, great.
If you don't like it or can't use it, then get out of the way, go around it, or get rid of it.
Let it be, and move on with your own life.
When you accept what is present, you have power over your inner state.
Regardless of your environment, you can choose inner peace.
2.
Accept what you see in others.
They are going to do whatever they do and express themselves the way they want.
You can count on it.
If you simply accept, "That's the way she is,"you save yourself a great deal of inner judgment, confusion and turmoil, not to mention the fruitless effort of attempting to control or manipulate someone else.

You can control your own response by means of conscious choice.
When you choose acceptance, you promote inner peace.
3.
Accept what you find in yourself.
Instead of judging or blaming yourself, observe and accept yourself the way you are.
From this foundation of acknowledging all aspects of yourself, including the parts you call negative, you are in an excellent position to make changes without resistance.
You can calmly observe your strengths and weaknesses as what is present right now.
Neither the positives nor the negatives really define you, for you are much more than all of that.
You are one with the divine essence of life.
Accepting yourself as much more than the qualities you perceive, creates space for inner peace.
