Acceptance & Forgiveness

When we struggle to accept something that has already transpired, or forgive another (including ourselves for past behaviors), many times we are the ones suffering. Acceptance (word used during this talk in place of forgiveness) is a practice that allows us to heal and find peace. Acceptance does not mean we condone or condemn another's actions, nor does it provide a free pass to behave indiscriminately. Rather, it allows us to take life events less personally, blame less and find peace.
