Acceptance doesn’t mean giving in to or agreeing with or being passive. Acceptance is the acknowledgement of what is happening within us, acknowledgement of our emotions, that they exist.

Remarkably, he grows from the experience. As you say in this article, acceptance does not necessarily equate to change. But, it does lead to growth. An on-target article!
