Acceptance, in my opinion, is the key to convert momentary happiness to enduring happiness. It helps you move from feeling happy to actually being happy

Practicing acceptance prepares you to live in this changing world, where you never know what’s going to happen next. Acceptance is like protecting yourself with your own shield.
Let me clarify that acceptance is not at all related to weakness and is definitely not a synonym of conformism or mediocrity.
We need to learn how to identify when it’s time to persist and when it’s time to accept.
One thing that makes acceptance much easier is to list all the possible explanations for why you’re experiencing something.
