225: The Power of Accepting Reality


Listen Later

For most of us, certain realities of our lives seem easier to face when we turn our heads and deny their existence. The thought of accepting the truth of our current experience can feel overwhelming and defeating. We even have a tendency to believe that acceptance leaves us powerless. But, what if acceptance is the first step to creating clarity and hope?

In this episode Abi and Justin examine how resisting the facts of our reality leave us crippled and hopeless. They look at the ways acceptance is the doorway to finding joy and learning how to come alive. They explore how power is found in the wisdom to know the difference between what we can’t change and what we can change.  

If you’re wanting courage to face something in your life that you’ve been avoiding, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone and that you can take immediate steps to change the course of your circumstances right now!
