Acceptance

"There’s so much grace in acceptance. It’s not an easy concept, but if you embrace it, you’ll find more peace than you ever imagined."
I am so glad I came across the quote today as it put into words my feelings.
Sometimes acceptance is painful and difficult and accompanied by tears and heartache. That is my current experience. I am having to accept something that is challenging for both my head and heart to embrace, but I realize that this is selfishness on my part. I had the  opportunity to produce a different outcome, and I failed to seize that opportunity.
As painful as it is, I have to forgive myself and move on. I have to embrace acceptance, and I look forward to finding the peace that comes with it.
