Acceptance ! -An interesting article by Dr Prabhakarababu

Acceptance

If you want to be accepted as you are, then you should also be willing to accept others as they are.

We always want to have our parents accept us totally. In the class room, in a team, in a group, in the work places, we want to impose our opinions on others. Yet often we are not willing to accept others as they are.

Acceptance gives you and others the comfort to get along, at least for a specified task. It is incorrect to set standards for others. You can only set standards for yourself. Again, when the standards become commands, strain is the end result. The more you can practice self-acceptance, the easier it is to drop habits that no longer useful us. It is easy for you to grow and change in an atmosphere of love.

            The bare truth to be engraved in the mind is that you can never live alone. You can never perform anything alone unless others accept you. Unless you accept others, others won’t accept you. Acceptance shall be both ways for accomplishing the task undertaken. One sided acceptance never serves the purpose.

The mentor and disciple should accept each other. The husband and wife should accept each other. The leader and follower should accept each other. The master and servant should accept each other for harmony. And so on……..



It is the harmony emanating from the relationships that pushes the task ahead. The disharmony retards and many a times, results in break down. It is always the acceptance that showers peace in any relationship. Advocate acceptance for continuous peace in life. Mutual acceptance is the origin of peace. OK?
