The Battle with Acceptance My life motto is, “I Wanna Be Me When I Grow Up”. I’m all about living my truth and doing what I need to do to show up for myself 100%. I want to create a world where others can do exactly that as well. I Wanna Be Me When I Grow Up and I Want You to Be You When You Grow Up. The motto goes further.
"Acceptance is not agreement". That is profound and powerful. I understand how it can be difficult especially when humans have the tendency to want to be in control. In fact, we are all taught to do that. Life lessons like be prepared, be proactive, etc.
But I think being in total control is an illusion. Its actually harder to embrace change.
One of my fav Bruce Lee's quotes "Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.".
My struggles cant be compared with yours, but I have released that acceptance gos a long way in having a happy and fulfilling life. Even with the limitations our illnesses causes us.

Still learning to embrace that quote.
