In order to move forward, you must first be completely clear about where you are. There is nothing to be gained by fighting against what has already happened or by pretending that it never did happen. You are where you are and that’s a great place to be because it is the place where you can turn your life around. From here, you can go precisely in the direction you choose. To do so, you must put all your energy into positive effort. You can’t afford to waste that energy fighting battles that are already over. Calmly, peacefully, and gratefully accept where you are. Allow yourself to be ok with what has already happened, because there’s nothing you can do to change it anyway. It is what it is, and your mission is now to make your life into what you have chosen it to be. Acceptance of what has happened does not mean that you agree with it or that you resign yourself to live with it. Acceptance means that you see it for what it is and make positive use of it.

An attitude of acceptance puts you in a powerful position because it frees you from having to constantly worry about things that are outside your control. Instead of feeling like you must micro-manage everything that touches your life, remind yourself that you can adapt to whatever may happen. Instead of being paralyzed by the fear of what you cannot control, be confident in knowing that even the most difficult situations harbor positive possibilities.
