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.

I had two thoughts on this insightful piece. First, as you say indirectly, acceptance is largely about introspection, not overtly taking on the ideas and beliefs of others. I heard long ago intelligent men and women listen to ideas without putting faces on them. How valuable would that be, especially in politics?
Second, though presented as a comedy, the Jim Carrey movie, Yes Man, is a good example of what you talk about here. In the movie, his character says “yes” to everything he’s asked to do. 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!
