Acceptance is not a talent you either have or don't have. it's a learned response. my meditation teacher made a great point about the difference between a reaction and a response: you may not have control over your initial reaction to something, but you can decide what your response will be. you don't have to be at the mercy of your emotions, and acceptance can be your first step toward empowerment . . . for me, acceptance has been the cornerstone to my having an emotionally healthy response to my illness.
