Acceptance Quote by HeatherAsh Amara
““It is not an easy task to accept what we don't want—especially when what we are experiencing is pain or suffering. I wrote her back with compassion and invited her to be with what was true for her body right now, without making up any story about what it would be like tomorrow. Acceptance is not a dispirited surrender from a place of powerlessness; acceptance and aligning with life is an active, courageous walk with the flow of what is.””
