We do not always have the kind of relationships that we would like. Sometimes it is through our perseverance and dedication that the relationship becomes what we make it; and at times it is because the other person is not able to meet our needs; our needs of honesty, of trustworthiness, of kindness, of integrity that the relationship is limited.

Acceptance is the allowing for others to be on their own path and journey through life; and to release your attachments to what you can accept is not possible; not as the result of your unwillingness, rather the acknowledgement and acceptance that another is unwilling or unable – or both.

Acceptance is the understanding; the ability and need to allow another to be as they are; to soften into this and to meet them right where they are choosing to be. This doesn’t mean that you must have a relationship with this person or any other; rather it means that you no longer give so much of yourself in vain.

Acceptance is liberation. It frees you. You free yourself from the need to change another or a situation when your kind efforts have been in vain. Not everyone is ready. Not everyone is willing. Not everyone is able to be relieved from the thoughts that hold them back.
