DA024 The Power of Acceptance


Listen Later

There is a power that if used, would completely free you from all resistance. Unfortunately this power is so simple, something you've probably heard countless times before, that you will reject it off hand as something you already know.

Yet if you aren't applying this simple idea, then it's just intellectual knowledge. The true application of this power— the power of acceptance— would truly free you from all suffering, all pain, and even all negative manifestations.

Despite what seems self-evident to our ego, if you were to completely accept what is, your life would change virtually in an instant. You would begin to get all the things you want.

Press play to learn how this power can be used in your own life.

Notable Quotes When you struggle, what do you get? You get more struggle. When you accept that which you don't want— that which you don't prefer in your life— it weakens. Acceptance is really powerful because it just unravels the knot of the undesirable situation in your life. It is in the present moment that all your power rests. By resisting, you are stripping yourself of your power. Pure acceptance— there's no pushing, there's no pulling— it's just this silence, this stillness, in the moment. Links
