And acceptance is the answer to
all my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or
situation – some fact of my life – unacceptable to me, and I can find no
serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly
the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God’s world by mistake.
Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept
life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as
on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitude.
