February 2022 has challenged me in many ways. Pushing my boundaries both emotionally and physically. Life has been tough, very tough with many ups and downs. Throughout this month, I have discovered and learnt the real meaning of ‘acceptance’. I have learnt to understand and see the beauty of be vulnerable and accepting it to be a part of life’s journey. To expose yourself to the possibility of being hurt or wounded either physically or emotionally whilst accepting this pain but still having the strength and courage to move forwards. I truly believe situations like these make oneself stronger and enables humans to be at their most authentic and powerful state. In my opinion, acceptance can be a form of self-love and self-understanding.
To give a little more context in which I was able to achieve this mindset, this month started with an incident in which I had to stay calm and take a step back for a few days. An incident that made me decide to move on with deep acceptance. Throughout this process I had to carefully listen to my inner voice, my gut feeling if you will and ignore all other feelings that would normally make me unbalanced. It was never easy to give up on something that I strongly believed to be worthy. In situation like these where we try to hold onto things, find solutions or make excuses to give it another chance we lose ourselves in the processes. We try so hard in making things right putting all our efforts in it, but for what price when nobody recognizes it. This is where I have learnt to let it go and accept my fate.
Now that I accept, I know that I can see things in a brighter way, encouraging me to grow and move forwards seeking different opportunities. I am ready to leave behind emotions and behavior patterns that had previously held me back. I am now actually see endless sequences of opportunities coming towards me in which I am eager to part take in.
I have arrived at a point in my life where I learned the hard lesson of acceptance by letting go. Learning the hard way was always my way, and I am grateful.
