I know what you're thinking because I've thought it too. If I just accept things that means I like them, condone them or am not going to do anything about it?
This is not true and in fact the reality is when something has happened that we don't like, we spend so much wasted time and energy resisting it. This does not help. How do I know? So much time spent arguing against reality.
In this episode I discuss how acceptance is not passive, how it helps us suffer less, save time and get to better actions sooner. I also discuss the difference between passive acceptance and active acceptance.
