To recognize one’s own insanity, is of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence. - Eckhart Tolle

Accepting means you allow yourself to feel whatever it is you are feeling at that moment...you can't argue with what is. Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer.

When you think or speak about yourself, when you say, “I,” what you usually refer to is “me and my story.” This is the “I” of your likes and dislikes, fears and desires, the “I” that is never satisfied for long. It is a mind-made sense of who you are, conditioned by the past and seeking to find its fulfillment in the future.

You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are! p. 91
