So lets talk about acceptance for a start!! Hey, what are you yawning for? It isn't boring, it isn't philosophical but it's so connected to our everyday life, every minute of our life I could say. If you have acceptance within you, life would be at it's simplest best! As simple as it sound, it is so not simple to master acceptance! You know whats lacking, you know whats the truth but yet when someone says it out or shows it to you, you are in the most determinate 'I beg to differ' mode! Instead beg to differ! Really it helps. If you can point out your flaws, your weaknesses and your cravings, trust me no son of a b***h can give you a complex!!
Yeah, if I am blabbering about acceptance so much something must have had happened to me which ultimately led me to it, right? So lets not beat around the bush and come to it. Had one of those rather rare bad days yesterday. Don't know why but I was just not in my regular mood, I could blame the weather slightly but that was not the reason really. A reason I could call a relevant one was my parents coming down to Mumbai specially for my brother's birthday to surprise him and I had no idea about it. Had I known about it earlier I could have joined them in the celebrations and had some good time. Mysteriously it was kept a mystery from me! After my Visual Design class Mom called up to reveal the surprise but I couldn't reciprocate her excitement and happiness, I posed the obvious question, why was I kept in the oblivion about this? Mom had no definite answer, probably it didn't strike her. I felt quite ignored for a moment(quite stupid I know but I felt it!).As it is, the pinch of the absence of one special person in my life(not necesarrily a girlfriend!) was there and then this. Okay I am not a loner or introvert who is ignored by all at large but sometimes people behave in a rather strange manner with me! One day I am the apple of their eye and the next day I am the forbidden fruit! And I am like WHAT?????(reminded of a dear friend here!she has this typical style of saying this word!)It used to surprise me before but then wonder of wonders, ACCEPTANCE came to my rescue!I just told myself that this IS how it is whether you like it or not. If you want it to change, you have to be that change. Instead of sympathizing on yourself for your 'sorry' condition wake your ass up and be the change you wanna see! And conditions change you know, they do get better with time. You have two options before you-one, that you crib about how the day has started in a shitty manner and spend the rest of the day in the shitty mode or you crib about how the day has started in a shitty way but then proceed to learn something from that and learn to be happy or atleast accepting about the way things are. And I chose the latter.
Also I cannot exclude the dear friend I mentioned earlier who gave me vital emotional support and assurance when I was in crib mode. She made complete sense in all she said and helped me in strengthening my acceptance, I owe her for sure! Her bright 'Colgate' smile surely lit me up a bit! Now there is more acceptance and consequently less cribbing. Today was awesome thanks to her! So just remember, accept yourself!When you feel like a loser, when you feel lonely or you feel the blues, go by the aforementioned adage or even easier,have a friend like my li'l Miss Sunshine!!:)
